Bristol Republican in race for county’s two Senate seats Meet our Pet of the Week • Read about a variety of furry critters on our weekly Pet Pages. See Pages 32-33.

By JOHN FLOWERS BRISTOL — Lynn Dike has technically been a “senator” since she was a teenager.

Now 65, she still proudly claims the moniker as an alum of Ralph C. Mahar Regional High School in Orange, Mass., whose sports teams bear the “Senators” nickname.

The Bristol Republican now wants to give more literal significance to what has been a

fun scholastic title. Dike is seeking this fall to become one of two state senators representing Addison County, Huntington and Buel’s Gore.

She joins a field that includes fellow Republican Peter Briggs of Addison and incumbent Sens. Claire Ayer, D-Addison, and Chris Bray, D-New Haven.

This is Dike’s first foray into politics during (See Lynn Dike, Page 14)

New Haven takes regulator to court over solar array

By GAEN MURPHREE NEW HAVEN — After years of disagreements with the state utility regulator over the size and number of solar arrays being sited in the town’s scenic vistas, the New Haven selectboard has appealed to the Vermont Supreme Court.

The town has asked the Vermont

Supreme Court to reverse a Public Service Board order granting a Certificate of Public Good for a 500-kilowatt solar array that would sit 900 feet west of Route 7 on the Russell Farm property. In a May 18 legal brief, the town contends that the PSB’s process in reaching the decision were “arbitrary and capri-

cious” and that the PSB acted “in violation of its own rules” and “outside the scope of its legal authority.”

Vermont Law School’s Jared Carter noted that increasingly Vermont towns want a say in determining where solar arrays are erected.

The Legislature last month approved S.230, a bill that seeks to answer

some of those concerns; it awaits Gov. Shumlin’s signature or veto.

“This is a conversation that’s going on in the state of Vermont right now: What role do communities play when it comes to energy siting and energy production?” said Carter, who specializes in legal activism and (See New Haven, Page 31)

Students get freedom to work on big projects Bridge School kids write, build, volunteer

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — For an unusual school project this year, 11-yearold Declan Anderson sponsored two cats at Homeward Bound, the Addison County Humane Society. His specific mission — spending time with both Molly and Cleo, 12-yearold sisters, until they were adopted.

Anderson had spotted the pair of felines during his regular visits to Homeward Bound, temporary home to scores of cats, dogs and other animals seeking homes.

“I just love animals,” said a smiling Anderson, whose household includes two dogs and three cats. “I like helping them.”

The project that gave Anderson time and motivation to try something out of the ordinary was “Bridge 20.”

It’s a program at the Bridge School where students were challenged to spend 20 percent of their class time looking for some academic answers of their own, resulting in projects that are producing dividends for themselves and the community at large.

It was last summer that Bridge School teacher Amanda Warren, at the recommendation of her parents (who are both educators, too) read the book “#EdJourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education,” by Grant Lichtman. The book keys on innovations in education and explores what innovative teaching actually looks

BRIDGE SCHOOL TEACHER Amanda Warren and her grade 5/6 language arts students recently completed an assignment involving individual projects, one of which resulted in the adoption of two cats.

like inside of the classroom, according to Warren.

One of the innovations that Lichtman lists in his book is the “Google 20” project, through which the company encourages its employees to spend 20 percent of their time in the office working on projects outside of their normal job responsibilities.

Warren decided to adopt this con-

cept for her nine 5th- and 6th-grade language arts students at the Bridge School.

“I was looking for something that would really tap into those ideas of independent learning, independent scaffolding of a project, and allowing students to explore something they are passionate about and see where it took them,” Warren said.

Thus, “Bridge 20” was born — an eight-month program at the small private school in which participating students were asked to take on selfdirected projects of their choosing, and devote 20 percent of their class time to those endeavors.

Each student came up with an idea, pitched it to the group, managed the time available to work on

Bristol, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics We are so pleased with our electric solar panels that we want to tell everyone about our great experience! The wonderful team at Bristol Electronics installed the ground-mount array last fall. We had them put in our solar hot water system several years prior and had established a good working relationship with them. We already knew them to be reliable and quick to fix any problems that arose.

We enjoy the idea of being a part of protecting the environment so when it came time to deciding on what type of solar panels to install for electricity, we contacted Bristol Electronics first, while also considering other companies and products as well. There’s a big world out there with a variety of choices and it was hard to know whose product was actually best for our needs. Finally in the end, we decided on choosing Bristol Electronics because of their reliability, best price, the best installment time frame and most efficient system using micro-inverters instead of the conventional less expensive string inverters.

The team provided very professional and pleasant service all the way from the planning stages to final clean-up.

When we finally made the decision to “break ground”, they were exceptionally fast, professional and easy to work with. From start to finish, we were making electricity in about 2 weeks. Indeed, our yard looks better now than before they started! In the end, we are saving a lot of money on both our solar hot water and solar electric systems.

Thank you Bristol Electronics for your excellent service in meeting our hopes and expectations!

Sincerely, Ed & Emily Hilbert – Bristol, VT

the project, and presented his or her final product in a public setting. Students spent each Friday in language arts and unlimited hours outside of school working on their project.

Warren challenged her students to think big, either on a personal or global level, in choosing their Bridge 20 project themes.

“Is there an opportunity that I see in my school or my community that I can tap into?” was among the questions students were asked to reflect upon. “Is there an idea floating around in my brain that I can really dive deep into?”

Through this kind of self-reflection and trial and error, Warren hopes Bridge 20 will set her students up for future success in whatever fields they choose to embrace in their academic and professional lives.

ALL KINDS OF PROJECTS The students’ Bridge 20 projects ran the gamut in terms of themes.

One student built a skateboard. Another wrote a fantasy novel. Yet another engaged in photography.

Then there were those students who meandered into capitalism and kitties.

It didn’t take too long for Anderson to think of a Bridge 20 project that would be personally fulfilling and hopefully culminate in the adoption of two cats. And adult cats are often more challenging to place than kittens.

For seven straight weeks, Anderson visited his two purring subjects every Wednesday and Friday, and sometimes on weekends. He’d sit (See Bridge School, Page 5)

Cidery signs lease for Kennedy Bros. space Company to brew, bottle in Little City

By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — The owners of Shacksbury Cider and the Kennedy Brothers Marketplace on May 27 made final a lease that will allow the Shoreham cidery to set up its brewing, bottling, warehousing and shipping operations, plus offices and a tasting room, in the Vergennes landmark.

Demolition work in the white creamery building on Kennedy Brothers’ north end should start this week, and Shacksbury co-founder Colin Davis hopes to be doing business and hosting events in the company’s new headquarters by this fall.

The lease signing came after about a year of discussions between Shacksbury and Kennedy Brothers co-owners Bob Feuerstein and Lillian Kennedy that became serious late in 2015.

“We’re very excited to move forward. It’s been a long time coming,” said Davis, who co-founded Shacksbury with David Dolginow in 2013.

“We just feel really good about the building, the landlord, the town and everything.”

Feuerstein described Shacksbury’s impending move as positive for his and Kennedy’s building and for the city.

“For Kennedy Brothers, they’re going to be a big anchor tenant.

They’ll attract a lot of people,” Feuerstein said. “Of course, Vergennes is very excited, because everybody seems to have a cidery or a brewery or a whiskey distiller, and we don’t, but now we will.”

Davis said many items had to be checked off a list before the threeyear-old company, now doing business out of several buildings in Shoreham, could commit to a new home.

As well as determining whether (See Cider, Page 5)

Salisbury residents OK $850K bond for bridge

By JOHN FLOWERS SALISBURY — Salisbury residents turned out at the polls in small numbers on Thursday to approve a three-article warning that included a $1 million proposal to replace the Maple Street Bridge in Salisbury village. The Australian ballot vote was 59 to 13 in favor of floating an $850,000 bond to cover the local costs of that project.

Also winning decisive approval were: • A proposal to change Salisbury’s annual town meeting date from the Monday prior to the first Tuesday in March, to the Saturday prior to the first Tuesday in March.

Voters endorsed this measure, 4922.

• A housekeeping change in the community’s property tax payment schedule. Starting this year property tax bills will be split into two installments, the first due on Oct. 5 and the second on April 5.

Salisbury charges interest on taxes unpaid after the due date. But now that there are two payment deadlines this vote was needed to specify the consequences of unpaid taxes after each installment date, according to Salisbury selectboard Chairwoman Martha Sullivan.

The property tax clarification passed by a 52-20 margin.

Salisbury officials will now turn their attention to lining up the bridge replacement project.

Maple Street Bridge is 97 years old and has been steadily deteriorating. It is located five-tenths of a mile north of the intersection of Maple Street and West Shore Road. The bridge spans the Leicester River and handles an estimated 270 vehicle trips per day.

Officials note the bridge has substantially exceeded its 80-year life expectancy — and it shows. A recent engineering report listed such deficiencies as “significant” deterioration and scour to the bridge abutment and stem wall, deteriorating concrete “T” beams, and a cracked and stained concrete deck. It has a posted weight limit of 10 tons.

Construction work will be done in concert with Green Mountain Power’s replacement of its adjacent penstock, which feeds a nearby hydro plant.

Payback on the 30-year, $850,000 bond will have the effect of adding approximately $25 per year to a Salisbury property valued at $200,000, according to local officials. The town has secured a $175,000 grant from the state to cover the remaining project expenses.

Editorial

Lisman’s negativity rings false In a recent mailer to registered Vermont Republicans, gubernatorial candidate Bruce Lisman attacked Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, who is also running to capture the GOP primary for governor, as being too complicit in support of Democrat Gov. Peter Shumlin’s policies.

Said Lisman: “Our state’s economy ranks 49th out of all 50 states. It’s so bad that for the past 11 years, jobs and people are fleeing Vermont… Where was Phil Scott?” He continued to suggest that Vermont’s changes in its health care (which has added more than 19,00 Vermonters with insurance) has been a “disaster,” and that Gov. Shumlin’s passage of Act 46, in which school governance is being successfully consolidated in many districts across the state, is a terrible idea to which Scott also has been complicit.

Lisman apparently is running on his track record of being negative for the past six years. “Bruce Lisman has been consistent and persistent in his outspoken criticism of Gov. Shumlin’s” policies, writes campaign spokesperson Shawn Shouldice, whereas “Lt. Governor Phil Scott is a 15-year political insider who has not only stood side-by-side with Gov. Shumlin, but has in some cases embraced Gov. Shumlin’s policies.”

We understand that challengers to presumptive nominees have to attack their opponents, and Lisman’s challenge that Scott has been too buddybuddy with Gov. Shumlin could win over a few GOP voters. But Lisman’s arguments need fact-checking and his role as a state detractor should be questioned.

In Lisman’s comment that Vermont’s economy ranks 49th out of 50, for instance, he takes a statistic created by a right-leaning institution that focuses on political policy, not economics. According to Vermont Business Magazine, the above statistic comes from “2016 Rich States, Poor States.” “The lead author… of the ranking is Reagan-era economist Arthur Laffer. The report, despite its title, is not a snapshot of current economic performance, but of future expectations, based mainly on state tax policy.” New York state, by the way, is ranked 50th, which by Lisman’s inference, would put the Empire State’s economy as the worst in the country.

That explains why well-respected Vermont economist Art Woolf’s column on Vermont’s economy this week would discredit Lisman’s dismal characterization.

“There was a lot of good news in the Vermont Department of Labor’s April report on jobs, unemployment and the labor market in general,” Woolf starts off in this week’s column, then goes on to note that the unemployment rate is 3.2 percent, the lowest since May of 2001; that average wages in Vermont rose by 2.8 percent last year, while inflation was just 0.1 percent, which means, Woolf said, “that real wages, adjusting for price changes, grew by a respectable 2.7 percent.” Furthermore, Woolf notes, “Vermont employers added 800 jobs in April and employment is up 4,000 since December and 6,000 over the past 12 months. Those are very large employment gains. We have more jobs in Vermont today that we’ve ever had, and that’s pretty much been the case since the summer of 2014.”

So what’s with Lisman’s constant degradation of Vermont’s economy, and almost anything else Shumlin and his administration has done? Simple. If opponents expect to get elected, they need to portray terrible current conditions and a dire need for change.

So, voters beware: fact-check the political hype; ignore most of it.

Not everything Gov. Shumlin has done in his six years in office, of course, has worked as expected. In a major overhaul of the state’s health care system, the IT portion of that proposal under Vermont Health Connect, has been flawed since the get-go and remains problematic. But whether scrapping it and the progress made under Shumlin’s health care reforms is the right approach, as Lisman proposes, should be challenged by asking Lisman to prove that his proposals would yield better results.

Vermont voters could set a higher bar for candidates by demanding positive proposals to correct current shortcomings, backed up by unassailable math to prove their case. If they can’t demonstrate their plan will provide better results, then at least voters should demand candidates not bad-mouth the state based on flawed data. That not only hurts the state’s image, it also deceives voters.

Letters to the Editor Developer gives overview of proposed solar project The Green Lantern Group (GLG) is a small renewable energy developer based in Waterbury that has proposed a solar project in New Haven just north of New Haven Power Equipment. GLG understands that solar project aesthetics are important to the residents of New Haven and has taken steps to ensure that it would be invisible to the public. A driver traveling through New Haven cannot see the nine-foot poles with bright orange flags currently occupying the proposed project site.

These poles are the same height the solar panels will be when they

are installed and were put there to demonstrate that for all intents and purposes the array will be invisible.

The proposed project site is on the Russell family land, a parcel that the family has owned since 1788. Leasing the four acres that the project will occupy will help the Russell family keep the rest of their 195-plus acres of farmland.

The project will help honor the local agricultural traditions of New Haven and keep the land open and free of development. It seems that four acres of solar is a much more preferable option to selling off the

land for commercial development along Route 7.

GLG strongly believes local input should be taken into consideration when siting solar projects. With this belief in mind GLG worked closely and in a consultative manner with the New Haven Planning Commission on the siting of this solar project with the ultimate goal of making the project invisible.

By way of background, GLG notified the planning commission of the plans to construct a solar array on the Russells’ property on Feb. 9, (See Letter, Page 5)

After four years of ownership, he and Kennedy can breathe more easily, Feuerstein said.

“It’s been gratifying, because to some extent I did build it and hope they come, and they’ve been coming,” he said.

Both Feuerstein and Davis also praised city officials and the Vergennes Partnership, which promotes the city to potential businesses and oversees the health of its downtown.

“The city council is very supportive. The city manager is very helpful. The Vergennes Partnership helped to set up a group of local business people and the city manager to meet with Shacksbury, talk to them, explained what’s doing in Vergennes, what a great place it is, how supportive it is of business,” Feuerstein said. “I suspect that helped attract them to the building as well.”

Davis said Shacksbury did, in fact, appreciate the welcome mat.

“I think it’s an indication of a positive business atmosphere, that people organize themselves to do something like that,” he said. “It definitely makes an impression.”

Letter (Continued from Page 4) 2015. At the next meeting on May 11, 2015, GLG presented the initial solar site plans, which included the intent to site the array more than 900 feet west of Route 7 and over an existing berm so that it would not be visible from any public viewpoint. Siting the array so far from Green Mountain Power’s electricity lines along Route 7 requires tens of thousands of dollars in extra cost, but GLG agreed to assume the additional expense to minimize any potential aesthetic impacts.

After the Vermont Public Service Board issued a Certificate of Public Good for the project, GLG notified the planning commission of the

board’s decision. At the meeting on May 11, 2016, the planning commission generally agreed that the project was well sited, as reflected in the minutes from the meeting (minutes from all planning commission meetings are available on the New Haven town website).

Despite the cultural and environmental benefits, the fact that the project would be invisible to the public and despite the collaboration and careful planning, the New Haven selectboard has decided to spend town residents’ taxpayer dollars to appeal the project’s Certificate of Public Good.

It begs the question: Why has the New Haven selectboard chosen to

spend the tax dollars of New Haven citizens on lawyers to appeal this particular project to the Vermont Supreme Court? Why waste taxpayer dollars on an array that will not be visible when it’s built, especially if it will generate steady tax revenue for the town of New Haven for the next 20-25 years? If the New Haven Planning Commission does not consider the project harmful and in violation of the town plan, why does the selectboard? Isn’t this exactly the type of solar project New Haven would want?

It’s safe to say 14 years ago. “He teaches probthere isn’t much in the mechani- lem solving more than anything cal realm that Teer hasn’t seen or else. He seldom directly answers can’t fix. He’s tried to impart that a question but he always directs wisdom over the years to young students to where they can find generations of aspiring mechanics the answer. His students become

lifelong learners that accept challenges and take joy in solving difficult problems.”

Teer was hired as an automotive technology instructor, but in 1972 shifted to diesel when that position expanded to full-time.

“I had a stronger background in diesel,” Teer recalled, noting that through a cooperative education program he had worked in a diesel shop during his senior year in high school.

“I had been around farm machinery for years and I had a better background in agricultural equipment than cars,” he said.

Teer took his job very seriously. He’d go to dealerships and ask about the workings of various equipment so he could incorporate that information in his classes. He worked in the truck market for around eight summers studying the ins and outs of vehicles. In this manner, he (and his students) learned how to fix a wide range of equipment, including even hay balers.

Students also learned how to read manuals, use tools and how to assemble and disassemble engines.

“I’m a great believer that if you teach a career subject, you should spend as much time as you can just trying to keep up with what’s happening in the market,” he said.

Through the years, the diesel program has become more refined.

“We pretty much focus on diesel engines, fuel systems, compressed natural gas and diesel, and overhauling engines,” Teer said. The more advanced students also learn about power train and transmission systems, hydrostatic drives, torque converters and hydraulics.

“Hydraulics is a big part of construction and agricultural equipment,” Teer said.

The talk is based on Kelly’s latest book, “Band of Giants: The Amateur Soldiers Who Won America’s Independence.” Seth Warner is a noted Green Mountain Boy and was one of the heroes of the Battle of Hubbardton.

This is the annual J. Robert Maguire program, sponsored by the Mount Independence Coalition, the friends group for the historic site. The coalition is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. The event is part of Vermont Days Weekend, June 11 and 12, when there is free admission to all Vermont State Historic Sites and day-use state parks.

This is one of many programs in 2016 to celebrate the 240th anniversary of the start of American construction of the Mount Independence Revolutionary War fortification, as well as the 50th anniversary of the trail system.

And he believes many students these days don’t seem to be as willing to put in the study hours as they used to.

Lynn Dike (Continued from Page 1) a fruitful life that has featured a lot of early travel as a military spouse, followed by a lengthy career in the health care industry as a nurse at Helen Porter Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center in Middlebury.

She said she’s running for the state Senate because she wants to bring more “balance� to a state governing body that has been numerically tilted in favor of Democrats in recent years. The result, she believes, has been a lot of hastily considered legislation that has not benefited most Vermonters. Dike cited this

year’s marijuana legalization bill as an example of proposal that she believes was processed too quickly.

The bill — which would have legalized possession of small amounts of recreational marijuana — passed the Senate, but not the House. “I’m not for it or against it, but I think they need to slow down and think,� Dike said of the marijuana bill. “There was no emergency with this bill.�

Showing more legislative restraint and opposing bills that take away — or limit — people’s rights are perhaps the two biggest planks

in Dike’s campaign, which she is waging under the credo, “Enough is enough.�

Lynn Dike was born in Massachusetts, though her family’s roots run deepest in the Swanton, Vt., area, she noted during a June 2 interview with the Independent.

After graduating from high school, Dike enrolled at Lyndon State College with the goal of becoming a classroom teacher. She decided, after a year, that she wasn’t suited to that profession, and turned her attention to nursing. It was at around this time that she met her first husband,

Early July set for demolition of Midd municipal building

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Thursday, June 2, awarded Parker Excavation of New Haven the contract to demolish the former municipal building and gym at 94 Main St., a job that is slated to begin in early July and last around 45 days, according to town Manager Kathleen Ramsay.

Parker’s low bid for the project was $325,000, while the only other bidder — Casella Construction Inc. — offered to do the job for $725,000, according to town documents. Otter Creek Engineering vetted both bids and determined the substantial dif-

ference between the two offers was that Parker’s had correctly anticipated the majority of brickwork in the buildings could be repurposed, rather than trashed. That’s because the painted brickwork within the buildings is devoid of the substantial lead content that would have required the material to be disposed of at significant cost, officials said.

Ramsay confirmed on Friday that a lot of people are getting in line to own a piece of 94 Main St. A future article in the Independent will offer more details on how the town plans to convey salvaged materials from the two buildings.

Early July set for demolition of Midd municipal building

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Thursday, June 2, awarded Parker Excavation of New Haven the contract to demolish the former municipal building and gym at 94 Main St., a job that is slated to begin in early July and last around 45 days, according to town Manager Kathleen Ramsay.

Parker’s low bid for the project was $325,000, while the only other bidder — Casella Construction Inc. — offered to do the job for $725,000, according to town documents. Otter Creek Engineering vetted both bids and determined the substantial dif-

Art at any age “BEANA” SMITH, LEFT, is the featured artist in the eighth annual art show at Elderly Services on Exchange Street in Middlebury. She is one of over 50 artists at Project Independence whose work will be on display through June. Exhibit receptions, with live music and refreshments, will be held on Tuesday, June 7, at 2:30 p.m., and on Wednesday, June 8, at 10 a.m.

ference between the two offers was that Parker’s had correctly anticipated the majority of brickwork in the buildings could be repurposed, rather than trashed. That’s because the painted brickwork within the buildings is devoid of the substantial lead content that would have required the material to be disposed of at significant cost, officials said.

Ramsay confirmed on Friday that a lot of people are getting in line to own a piece of 94 Main St. A future article in the Independent will offer more details on how the town plans to convey salvaged materials from the two buildings.

EastView residents are walking to San Francisco

The progress of EastView’s walking team is marked with a graphic showing hunched walkers plugging away at their goal. Starting from EastView’s doors, they are determined to reach San Francisco and are collectively tallying their steps recorded each day with pedometers to move that piece of paper steadily westward.

My father died 3 years ago. My 83 year old mother spends her days alone watching TV. I worry about her being lonely.

You are right to be concerned. Sitting alone watching TV day after day is probably not good for your mother’s body or mind. Lack of social stimulation and interesting experiences can dull the mind and contribute to memory decline. Sitting for long periods weakens the muscles. Balance and mobility can worsen.

What’s more, your mother needs fun and pleasant experiences to avoid depression and loneliness. With your father’s recent death, her life changed in a big way. It’s never too late to restructure life, and Elderly Services can help.

Our social workers can help your mother and you explore her feelings and interests. We can help her find the motivation to try something new.

Program (Continued from Page 21) are over.”

With such fervent response, EastView residents are now in the middle of Nebraska after just about a month of walking. That’s about half way through and is much quicker than Puterbaugh had initially expected them to complete.

“So now we’re talking about what we’re going to do when we get there,” she says, “and how we’re going to get back.”

Fellow walkers have each been advocating for side ventures to regions of the West that they had traveled and loved in the past. Some want to go north to Vancouver and back through Canada. Others want to travel south to Texas then east to the coast and up from there.

Puterbaugh is enamored with the idea of a national parks tour, partially inspired by the 100-year anniversary of the national parks program this year. They would perhaps travel north from San Francisco to Yosemite and up into Oregon to Crater Lake and onto Washington for Mount Rainer National Park.

They could then walk east to Idaho’s Glacier National Park and down through Yellowstone and Teton national parks, and then into Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, where there are a total of 13 parks to choose from.

Another idea would be to trace the path Lewis and Clark made on their famous western expedition, back in 1804.

Whatever the route, Puterbaugh and her fellow walkers at EastView are sure to make their journey with great fun, enjoying the company and camaraderie of others while triumphing in their ambitious fitness goals.

A fellow EastView resident stops to chat with Holly Puterbaugh about progress on the walking tour to San Francisco. Puterbaugh’s goal for the walking project was to inspire increased motivation to exercise as well as social engagement and conversation.

Joining groups, volunteering will help after you downsize (MS) — Downsizing and other life changes often find seniors leaving their comfort zones to move to new neighborhoods or regions of the country. It can be difficult to leave those comfort zones behind, especially when it means saying goodbye to close friends or family members.

Establishing new social circles as a senior can be challenging. But with a little effort and the right attitude, seniors can meet new people and enjoy the excitement that comes with new friendships. • Join a club. If you have a particular hobby or interest, rekindle it in your new location.

Find a local gardening club, church-sponsored organization or fitness center where you can meet like-minded men and women. Ask the real estate agent who helped you relocate to make suggestions on where to find community information and read community notices in the local newspaper. • Get a dog. Dogs make great companions inside of the house and also serve as an icebreaker when you are outdoors. Take plenty of walks and take advantage of opportunities for conversation when people come up to you to inquire about your dog. Explain your situation and you may make some new friends

along the way. • Volunteer your time. Many people make new friends through volunteering. Volunteer and you’re likely to meet people who share the same interests as you. Sign up with a favorite charity or volunteer at nonprofit events and look for familiar faces. Start talking to those people you meet again and again. • Participate in church events. Places of religious worship are often cornerstones of a community, and they frequently host different events to get parishioners or members together.

Read the bulletin and get involved in potlucks, retreats, movie nights, and other churchsponsored events. • Work at a school. Schools also serve as hubs of community activity. Volunteer or work for a local school and you will soon find yourself immersed in your community’s weekday hustle and bustle. This is a great way to meet people and learn more about your new neighborhood in the process.

Change can be hard for people seniors starting out in new communities. With some gumption and a few strategies to get started, anyone can expand their circle of friends.

CVAA offers help with Medicare plans In years past, people would both retire and start Medicare at 65. Today, many people are working longer and have two separate decisions to consider: When do I take my Social Security money and when do I begin Medicare health insurance?

An individual can take their Social Security benefit between ages 62 and 70 years of age. The best time depends on many factors. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is best equipped to walk you through your options.

For most people, Medicare starts at 65, and your initial enrollment period into Medicare begins 3 months prior to your 65th birthday. You may start Medicare through SSA or Medicare. gov. There are personal options depending on your circumstances, and CVAA State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) counselors are a great source of information and education.

Another great source of Medicare information is the Medicare & You Handbook and the www.Medicare.gov website. Some important questions to understand might be: Am I planning on working past 65? What are the rules to delay Medicare coverage without a penalty? Do I have insurance through my current employer?

What is the size of my current employer? Do I have retirement insurance options? Do I need drug coverage if I don’t take medicine? What if I have a spouse who isn’t eligible for Medicare

yet? What is the cost of Medicare? What are my coverage options? Can I get financial help paying for Medicare?

One of the costliest mistakes for an individual is not following the rules/laws around delaying Medicare Part B Medical coverage due to an active Employer Group Health Plan. The size of the employer and actively working are both critical factors to understand in a decision for delaying Part B (different employer size requirements for employees 65 vs. younger than 65 on Medicare).

For every 12-month period that you inappropriately delay Medicare Part B, there is a 10 percent late penalty added onto your monthly premium. Currently, the Medicare Part B premiums are $104.90 or $121.80 per month depending on when your Medicare began, along with other factors.

Your health insurance should be a part of your financial retirement picture. CVAA SHIP offers Medicare counseling and classes and is a great resource for federal and state financial help. The counselors work closely the with Vermont Senior Medicare Project (SMP), which works to protect seniors from health care fraud. Call 1-800-6425119 to review Medicare costs and coverage for 2016.

Editor’s note: Patricia Selsky of CVAA provided the story. CVAA SHIP counseling is free and confidential.

Eagles top VUHS; reach D-II semis

By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — With solid defense, a 17-hit attack and four-hit pitching from junior Rachael McCormick, the top-seeded Mount Abraham Union High School softball team coasted in its Division II quarterfinal vs. visiting Vergennes on Friday, 11-1.

The 15-3 Eagles avenged their only D-II loss of the season — their other setbacks have come to the Nos. 1 and 3 seeds in D-I. Next the Eagles will host No. 4 Fair Haven on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.

Tiger girls throttle Rice; MMU next in D-I lax semifinals

By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — The No. 5 Middlebury Union High School girls’ lacrosse team put the clamps on visiting No. 5 Rice during a Saturday quarterfinal, winning by 8-3 to advance to a Division I semifinal on Tuesday vs. No. 1 Mount Mansfield. That result followed an 18-2 home first-round win on Wednesday over No. 13 Spaulding.

The 14-3 Tigers will meet MMU (15-2) on Tuesday at 4 p.m. in what could prove to be a defensive battle.

The Cougars dealt MUHS two of its three defeats this season, 5-3 in Middlebury on May 10 and 11-5 on the road on May 27, and MMU has only twice allowed opponents to score in double figures this spring.

But the Tigers have reason to believe the third meeting will be different. They did not play well the first time around, and the second game came after a road trip to Rutland the day before, and senior defensive midfielder Claire Armstrong missed it with an injury.

The Tigers have been playing better. In their first matchup with South Burlington on May 5, for example, they won 8-5. In the May

24 rematch, the margin was 16-4.

They defeated Burlington at home in April, 12-5, and in May won on the road, 16-6.

And MUHS edged Rice on May 19 at home, 9-8, before shutting the Green Knights down on Saturday.

Coach Kelley Higgins said she sees improvement.

“I still don’t think we’ve peaked, but we’re definitely arcing in the right direction,” Higgins said.

Something that has helped, said senior midfielder and co-captain Emma Best, is the Tigers are more aggressive when the other team is trying to move the ball from defense to offense. The Tigers, notably Best, forced the Knight defenders and midfielders into many mistakes.

“We have a new thing where we jump the ball, so they have a harder time working the ball down the field,” Best said. “A lot of turnovers come that way.”

Rice came into the game having scored 14 or more goals 11 times, and finished scoring fewer than 10 goals only four times. The Tigers are the only team to hold them to fewer than nine.

Higgins credited her low defenders, senior Annina Hare and Jesslyn Hounchell and Keagan Dunbar, plus goalie Raven Payne, while Best, Armstrong and defensive middie Riley Fenster also excelled.

“Since the beginning of the season I’ve been excited about our defense, and Raven has put in a lot of time outside of practice, and it’s really paying off,” Higgins said.

Best also praised the defense, singling out Dunbar, who guarded Rice’s Kristina Bellomo, who had tallied seven times in a first-round win but did not score vs. MUHS. “She was all over her. Keagan did her job,” Best said.

Rice hung around early on Saturday. After middie Satchel McLaughlin bolted in from the left sideline at 21:37 and set up Best out front at 20:37, Rice answered with two goals. Bellomo set up Sophie Laughran out front, and at 16:34 Katherine Hesslink scored on a similar play.

But the Tigers tightened up and went on a 4-0 run. Fenster finished off a behind-the-net pass from Andi Boe, senior attacker Emma Dona(See Girls’ lax, Page 30)

MUHS girls advance in D-1 softball

By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — The No. 3 Middlebury Union High School softball team on Friday ousted visiting No. 6 Brattleboro, 6-3, from the Division I tournament.

The 16-2 Tigers will travel on Tuesday to take on No. 2 Mount Anthony (17-1) at 4:30 p.m. No. 5 Colchester (15-3) and No. 1 Essex (17-0) will meet in the other semifinal, and the final will be played in Poultney at a time to be announced.

The Tigers and Mount Anthony have not met this spring but do have two common opponents: Brattleboro and Fair Haven. The Tigers defeated Fair Haven, a D-I semifinalist, 7-6.

MAU defeated Fair Haven, 11-0, and Brattleboro, 9-3 and 10-4. The Tigers, however, have played a much tougher schedule.

Against the 13-5 Colonels on Friday, MUHS pitcher Payton Buxton tossed a complete-game seven-hitter, striking out 11.

Buxton and Abby LaRock each drove in two runs with two hits, and Hannah Lawrence doubled twice and drove in one run.

D-II Softball (Continued from Page 28) The 14-4 Slaters have won 14 of 15 games after an 0-3 start.

The Eagles and Slaters have not met this spring but have two common opponents: Middlebury and Otter Valley. The Slaters lost to the Tigers, 7-6, while the Eagles dealt the Tigers one of their two losses, 5-2. Mount Abe defeated OV, 5-2, while Fair Haven topped OV twice, 6-5 and 9-1.

The D-II final will be contested in Poultney on June 9, 10 or 11. No. 2 Lyndon (15-2) and No. 6 Fairfax (135) will meet in the other D-II semifinal.

Coach Kelly Trayah would like to see more of Friday’s successful formula against the tough competition to come.

“We’ll definitely have to do more of the same, with that timely hitting,” said Trayah.

Senior tri-captain Dani Forand, who on Friday contributed two hits, an RBI, and three nice defensive plays at third base, said the Eagles remembered their 8-2 loss at VUHS on May 5, but were confident heading into the rematch.

“I think we all knew that we were a better team,” Forand said. “We just needed to play hard. Last time we played them we had lots of errors in the first couple of innings.”

The Commodores did not have their best day in the field, but in the end only the last two Eagle runs were unearned. VUHS Coach Mike Martin praised Mount Abe’s hitting and defense, singling out McCormick for making a half-dozen plays, some of them tough ones.

“Hats off to them, key hits, and Rachael fielded her position really well today. She ate up everything that went back up the middle,” Martin said. “We put the bat on the ball.

They just made good plays in the field. And they put the bat on the ball and hit it where we weren’t.”

The Eagles scored off losing pitcher Tamara Aunchman (six strikeouts, one walk, two hit batters) in five of their six at-bats. In the first, McCormick singled and stole second. Second baseman Emily Aldrich singled her home and stole second, and Forand singled in Aldrich to make it 2-0.

In the second, center fielder Jenna McArdle and left fielder Stacie Sabourin both singled and stole bases, and shortstop Katelynn Ouellette singled them home, and it was 4-0.

Mount Abe broke it open in the third with four runs on four hits, three more stolen bases, and two run-scoring wild pitches. Not all the hits were line drives. After Aunchman hit first baseman Macey Ross with a pitch, McArdle and DH Audrey Shahan both beat out softly struck grounders. Shahan plated Ross, wild pitches scored two runs, and after a single

by Ouellette and another stolen base, catcher Brooke Perlee knocked in Ouellette to make it 8-0.

Girls’ lax (Continued from Page 28) hue netted a pass threaded to her by middie Isabel Rosenberg, attacker Mikayla Robinson bolted across from the left and finished inside the left post, and Rosenberg tossed a free position shot into the upper left corner.

Payne, who had all of her saves in the fist half, made some tough stops in that surge and picked off a couple passes. At 1:08, Jillian Gibbs made it 6-3 with a feed from Bellomo, but McLaughlin halted any Rice momentum by converting a free position at 0:18.

The early second half consisted of the Tigers being a little careless with the ball, and then winning it right back. Finally, a turnover led to a Rosenberg solo move for a score at 15:37. Soon the Tigers were content to take time off the clock. When they lost the ball, they just knocked it free and got it back. Two Rice goalies combined for four saves.

Higgins said MUHS would work on ball control before Tuesday in order to maximize scoring chances vs. MMU, but on the plus side noted six Tigers scored.

“That was my goal for the season. I wanted us to be a team where they didn’t know who was going to score because everybody can shoot,” she said.

In Wednesday’s game, Rosenberg, McLaughlin and Boe each scored four times, Best had three goals and two assists, and Robinson added a goal and two assists. Payne stopped five shots, while goalie Lindsay LaPan made 14 saves for the 2-14 Tide.

Now comes the test vs. MMU. “I think we can do it,” Best said.

“It’s going to be heart. Whoever wants it more that day is going to make it happen.”

Athletes win at state meet Eagles baseball reaches semifinals

By ANDY KIRKALDY EAST MONTPELIER — Led by three victories by Mount Abraham Union High School sophomore Lydia Pitts, local athletes combined for 11 event wins at Saturday’s Division II track and field championships, hosted by U-32 High School.

Middlebury fared best as a team, finishing third in both the girls and boys’ competitions. Buoyed by Pitts, the Eagle girls took fourth, and the Eagle boys’ were sixth. Vergennes scored points in one event in each competition: The Commodore girls were 12th, and they VUHS boys were 11th.

Pitts won the 100 hurdles in 16.22; the long jump in 16 feet, three inches; and the triple jump in 34-11.75.

Her sophomore teammate Emma Radler won the pole vault in 9-0.

MUHS senior Hannah Buttolph repeated as the D-II high jump champion at 5-2; and the Tiger girls won two relays, as well as placing in a number of events.

The team of Chloe Kane, Gretta Groves, Kiana Plouffe and Megan Townsend won the four-by100-meter relay in 51.70; and the quartet of Helen Anderson, Ailey Bosworth, Katharine Koehler and Caroline Kimble claimed the 4X400 in 10:13.32.

Junior Caroline Johnston scored the VUHS points by taking fourth at 400 meters.

On the boys’ side, MUHS junior Henry Ganey won the 800 in 2:03.28; and senior David Dregallo prevailed in the 3,000 in 9:23.29.

The Tiger boys also scored two relay golds. In the 4x400, Josh Girard, Ganey, James Whitley, and Wyatt Norris won in 3:37.56. In the 4x800, Whitley, Ross Crowne, Haven Tate and Matthew Ferguson won in 8:41.71.

VUHS finished fifth in the 4X800 to score its boys’ points.

A full account including all participants in Saturday’s meet will appear in Thursday’s Independent.

Local boys’ lacrosse teams ousted, as season ends ADDISON COUNTY — The local boys’ lacrosse season came to a close on Friday, when the Vergennes, Mount Abraham and Middlebury squads all lost road playoff games.

COMMODORES Host No. 2 Hartford ousted No. 3 VUHS, 13-9, in a Division III semifinal played under the lights on Friday night. Tyler Crowningshield

led VUHS with four goals and two assists. Max Ratti-Bicknell (three goals), Tyler Kepes (goal and two assists), Brett Woods (goal) and Lathrop Brownell (assist) also contributed to the attack.

Goalie Broc Clark finished with 12 saves for the 9-7 Commodores, who posted the program’s first winning record. Hartford goalie Chris

Dovain stopped 11 shots.

New Haven (Continued from Page 1) environmental law. “It’s not surprising that you see towns being more involved both politically and in the legal realm in the courtrooms and in the PSB in those conversations.”

Green Lantern Group is a Waterbury company whose portfolio of activities includes solar development in Panton and Ferrisburgh.

Last July it asked the Public Service Board to OK the Route 7 solar project known as New Haven GLC Solar. The array would be sited at 3423 Ethan Allen Highway on 3.8 acres of a 59-acre parcel owned by the Russell family, who no longer live or farm at that location.

The PSB granted the Certificate of Public Good for the 500 kW solar array on March 4. The New Haven selectboard voted unanimously to appeal to the Supreme Court on March 22.

According to Project Manager Sam Carlson, the project is designed to be set back 900 feet west of Route 7 and at least 80 feet from abutting properties, such that the array would not be visible from Route 7 or from abutting properties. The site is down a steep incline, west of the white farmhouse and barn facing the state highway a little north of New Haven Power Equipment.

The sloping open land is currently used as a cornfield.

Carlson said his company worked with the New Haven Planning Commission in an effort to make the array invisible.

“We went to a really extreme level to be sensitive about the siting of this project, knowing that New Haven specifically and other municipalities around the state are looking very closely at aesthetics and siting and that that is a top concern,” said Green Lantern Managing Partner Luke Shullenberger. “So we’re unclear as to what the controversy

is and why the selectboard would • The PSB “arbitrarily and cachoose to spend taxpayer dollars to priciously” rejected a portion of the appeal a CPG for a project that is not town’s comments.

• The town asserts that the PSB did not give “due consideration” to a clause in the town plan that limits solar arrays to 300 kW and other aspects of the town plan.

• The town claims that the PSB’s March 4 order authorizing the Certificate of Public Good inaccurately described the project in a number of significant ways, such that its order issuing a CPG for the GLC array is in many instances “devoid of factual support.”

the town’s brief asserts that the criterion in question “is not mere administrative protocol to be brushed aside when inconvenient for a net metering project, but rather reflects a standard necessary for system reliability and public safety.” The brief also draws attention to the fact that for another project on the same distribution circuit the PSB ordered a hearing.

“What we wound up asking for at the end is for the Supreme Court to remand this back to the Public Service Board so that the application could be done correctly, which we maintain, of course, it wasn’t,” said Selectman Doug Tolles, who has acted as the New Haven selectboard’s point person on a range of solar issues.

Important to the controversy is whether a 500 kW array violates the spirit or letter of the current New Haven Town Plan, written in 2011.

The town plan states that: “in addressing commercial power generation, we suggest the following power generation guidelines: • The total capacity of the generation project is less than 300 kW; • The project is proposed to meet the needs of Vermont electric consumers; and • The generation facilities are sited and designed so that they do

not have an undue adverse impact on the scenic and rural character of the town.”

Interpretations differ as to whether 300 kW is a firm or a suggested limit.

An update to the town plan, currently under development, uses a differently worded approach to balancing the town’s desire to support renewable energy with its desire to protect its rural, scenic and agricultural character. This updated plan has not yet been officially approved by the selectboard nor voted on by the public.

A draft can be found on the town’s website and at http://tinyurl.com/ hazoq22; amendments to that draft are at http://tinyurl.com/jn65rro.

The planning commission held its first public hearing last Wednesday.

“We believe that the Public Service Board applied a very thorough and rigorous review of this project the way it does to other projects,” said Shullenberger. “We believe it used the same process to assess the merits and the public good of this project that it has done on hundreds of others around the state.”

Festival on-the-Green joins first statewide giving day on June 7 MIDDLEBURY — Festival onthe-Green will join more than 300 other Vermont nonprofits in participating in Vermont Gives, the Green Mountain State’s first statewide giving day, on Tuesday, June 7. Community members will have 24 hours to support this fundraising initiative. The festival is looking for everyone’s help to make the campaign a success.

Vermont Gives is an initiative of Common Good Vermont, a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to providing programs and resources that support nonprofit organizational capacity.

On June 7, starting at 12:01 a.m., people who wish to support the Festival on-the-Green are asked to visit www.VTGives.org and make a donation to Festival on-the-Green and to any of the other participating Vermont nonprofits. A gift, large or small, helps

continue a nearly-four-decades tradition of bringing top-quality, family-friendly entertainment to the residents and guests of Addison County for one week each summer with no admission fee.

The festival, a 2016 Vermont Chamber of Commerce Top 10 Summer Event, is an all-volunteer organization. Because it has no paid staff, 100 percent of each donation goes toward presenting the event, which features 17 acts over seven days. This year, for its 38th season, the festival returns to the village green after two summers at the recreation park.

The week kicks off on Sunday, July 10, at 7 p.m. with a performance by the New Nile Orchestra offering Ethiopian traditional music with world, funk, jazz, hip-hop and Afro-Cuban styles. To see the full schedule, visit www.festivalonthegreen.org.

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society Daffodil: 2 years, DSH black & white, spayed female. Daffodil is a special girl here at Homeward Bound, looking for a special home. She came to us as a sweet stray, but we soon learned that life in a condo was too restrictive for this independent soul.

Daffodil needs a home environment without other pets and without children, so she can rule her roost without territorial stressors.

She enjoys affection in small doses, and will let you know when she has had enough. Who can resist that hipster moustache!

e h t W f o eek t Pe

Panda: 8 years, DSH white with black, spayed female. Panda is a real people person… er… cat. She loves to cuddle and would love to spend her cold wintry nights by the fire with YOU. In fact, she prefers people over other animals. If you are age 55+, you can adopt Panda with a donation in lieu of her adoption fee through our Senior-to-Senior program!

Kittens!: 10-12 weeks, males & females. Kitten season is upon us!

Homeward Bound has several adorable kittens available for adoption, with more becoming available regularly. All kittens are spayed/neutered, have seen a veterinarian and received all of their initial vaccinations, and are litterbox trained.

Willy: 6 years, Shepherd mix, neutered male. Willy is a playful, smart, wellbehaved dog who is eager to please; he has worked with a professional trainer in the past and loves to show off his skills!

This handsome fellow would like a new home without children and cats. He is selective about other K9 friends, but may do well with proper introductions. Willy would make a fantastic hiking buddy!

Zeke: 2 years, Sharpei mix, neutered male. Zeke is a wonderful young dog who will steal your heart.

He is a bit shy when he meets new people, but once he is comfortable he turns into a playful, goofy clown! Zeke has shown no interest in cats here at the shelter and plays nicely with other dogs. We think he will make a perfect addition to any family willing to give him time to adjust!

Hi, I’m Lil’ Grey.

My big brother Leo got in on this Pet of the Week action, so I leaped at the chance to do it as well.

I was born a couple of months ago and my four sisters and brother have all found great homes throughout the state.

I, being the very lucky kitty I am, get to stay with my mom, Sadie. And, as an added bonus I get to

spend time with this sweet, awesome and spunky young lady, Savieanna. She and I have a blast and I can’t wait till she comes back in June.

It sure is cool one-upping my big bro!

Pet appreciation week MIDDLEBURY — The American Veterinary Medical Foundation has deemed June 5-11 Pet Appreciation Week and Homeward Bound, Addison County’s Humane Society, would like to see local pet owners take the time to celebrate how much pets mean to them.

“Our animals save us when times are hard and friends seem scarce, forgive us when the parts of personalities that we aren’t necessarily proud of come out, and stay loyal to us through all the twists and turns of our lives, even those that might make them take second fiddle,” said Homeward Bound Executive Director Jess Danyow. “We hope that our friends in Addison County and beyond will

Tip of the Week

It’s only the beginning of June and we have already experienced a heat wave. Please remember that the safest place for dogs during the summer is at home.

Dogs left in cars, even for a

few minutes with the windows cracked, can experience lifethreatening temperatures. Please help us spread the word and encourage your friends and families to leave Fido at home.

Think of Agway when you think of your pets!

Proud to help you provide quality care for all of your pets, we know your animal companions are a central part of your life!

Animal shelter a target for Vermont Gives MIDDLEBURY — Homeward Bound, Addison County’s Humane Society, has signed on to participate in Vermont’s first day of giving on June 7. “Vermont Gives” is an opportunity to unite Vermonters around causes they believe in and help nonprofit organizations connect to the larger community.

Vermont Gives is an initiative of Common Good Vermont, a 501(c) (3) statewide organization dedicated to providing programs and resources that support nonprofit

organizational capacity building and to partnering with sector leaders, businesses and the broader community to elevate the visibility and status of the nonprofit sector.

“Vermont Gives is like ‘Giving Tuesday’ in November but the focus is all on Vermont,” Development Director Hannah Manley says. “The day is designed to increase the fundraising capacity of participating nonprofits, rally the state around the nonprofits in our communities and build sector

unity. June is traditionally a slow month for most nonprofits when it comes to fundraising, so we are grateful to have this opportunity to highlight philanthropy across this state on this one day in June.”

On June 7, starting at midnight, you can visit www.VTGives.org and make a donation to Homeward Bound and/or to any of the great participating nonprofit organizations in the state. You will have 24 hours to make your donation, and all giving will end at 11:59 p.m. on June 7.

Vt. architecture to be discussed on June 8 ADDISON — Architectural historians Glenn Andres and Curtis B.

Last week Patty Martin, Danielle Sunderland, Sarah McGrath and Sierra Lafountain of KeyBank spent the day helping the John Graham Shelter by weeding, clipping and cleaning around the play yard. They had nice weather and a great time helping out. Twenty five years ago, KeyBank employees in Alaska launched a community service effort known as ‘Neighbors Make the Difference Day’. Today, ‘Neighbors Make the Difference Day’ is an annual event that occurs in 15 states, from Maine to Alaska. Locally, Keybank staff have volunteered at many non-profit locations for the Program including Homeward Bound, the Counseling Service of Addison County, HOPE and the Parent Child Center. They have enjoyed painting, repair work, outside work and other types of projects. When asked what they appreciate most about the work, they replied : “We love our community. This work is a demonstration of our heartfelt commitment to our community.” Thank you, KeyBank!

Five authors to read at college MIDDLEBURY — Each year hundreds of Middlebury alumni make a rare trip back to Vermont for reunion, and New England Review presents the writers among them. This year brings a range of journalists, novelists, poets and essayists.

Five alumni and faculty authors will read from their work on Saturday, June 11, at 1 p.m. in Axinn Room 229 on the Middlebury College campus. The reading is free and open to the public.

Katherine Arden (2011) has lived and studied in France and Russia, and is the author of the forthcoming novel “The Bear and

the Nightingale,” which will be published by Random House in 2017.

Cedar Attanasio (2011.5) is a journalist who has covered the immigration and politics beats for the Latin Times, as well as protests and soccer fandom during the 2014 World Cup in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro for IBT. Theo Padnos (1991) will read a short bit from a novel he wrote during a recent spell in prison in Syria. The novel is about crime and punishment in an ISIS-like society. He is also the author of “My Life Has Stood a Loaded Gun” and “Undercover Muslim: A Journey into Yemen.”

Christopher Shaw, who has taught at Middlebury since 2003, is the author of “Sacred Monkey River: A Canoe Trip With the Gods” and a former editor of Adirondack Life magazine. His writing has appeared in the New England Review, The New York Times, and many other periodicals.

Jeneva Burroughs Stone (1986) has published poetry and hybrid essays in Beloit Poetry Journal, Pleiades, Poetry International, Colorado Review and other magazines, and her collection of linked essays and poems, “Monster,” is forthcoming from Phoenicia Publishing this fall.

FERRISBURGH — The Bixby Library is a great place to visit over these next summer months.

Visit the library’s web page, www. bixbylibrary.org, or Facebook page to keep up to date on all the events.

The Table Read series is continuing though the summer on the last Tuesday of the month. These are workshops for local writers of all ages and backgrounds and provide the opportunity to share their significant works-in-progress. For example, the Table Read series has enabled writers to share their fulllength films and plays that have been read aloud with actors (professional and non). Other presentations have been television pilots, poetry nights, novellas and short story collections. On June 28, a discussion will be held with local author A. Jay Dubberly on his novella “Storm Grey and Stella d’Oro.” These writing sessions are held in conjunction with the ZigZag literature magazine that has been newly launched by Dubberly and Bixby Adult Services Librarian Muir Haman through a grant from the Vermont Community Foundation.

The Ferrisburgh Grange’s “King Pede” card parties are scheduled for the Saturdays of June 11 and 25. These get-togethers are held at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall and Community Center and begin at 6:30 p.m. with a sandwich supper and then on to an evening of fun and card games.
