Taking to the woods: Goalie, striker top Reflection on the choices for boys’ morning after Last weekend I took to the woods.

Ever since I was a child, the woods have been my retreat. If I had a bad day at school, I’d get off the bus, trudge the quarter mile up our quiet road, drop my books in the house, and head out the back door over the hill to a quiet ledge beneath the trees.

There I would let the solitude — the majesty of a grove of old oak trees, the playfulness of the squirrels, the carefree singing of chickadees and nuthatches, and maybe just the life of the soil beneath my back — seep into me and refresh my spirit.

Interestingly enough, my response to good days was fairly similar. Drop my books off. Scavenge in the kitchen for an afternoon snack. (There were almost always cookies to be found at my house.) And tromp off in one direction or another to explore, or play, or just sit quietly.

I had plenty of choices for direction. I grew in the middle of a thousand acres of undeveloped woods in a quiet New England town. If it wasn’t the ledge overlooking the pond, it might be the overgrown orchard across the street. I still have a vivid memory of sitting on the stonewall one day and having a mink pop (See Dickerson, Page 3B)

Middlebury runners get NCAA bids

WESTFIELD, Mass. — The Middlebury College men’s and women’s cross country teams both finished fourth on Saturday at an NCAA Division III Regional hosted by Westfield State University, performances good enough for each to earn invitations to the NCAA championship races.

The Panther runners will head to Spaulding University in Louisville, Ky., on Saturday for NCAA competition. The women’s race will begin at 11 a.m., followed by the men’s race at noon.

On this past Saturday at Westfield, the women finished fourth among 59 teams, while the men were fourth among 56 squads.

Sophomore Abigail Nadler led the Panther women by placing fifth among 406 racers with a time of 21:26.55 over the 6-kilometer course. Nadler also took fifth a season ago at the regional meet.

Finishing in 29th was Sasha Whittle (22:08.31), followed by Meg Wilson (31st in 22:10.13), Catie Skinner (41st in 22:21.31) and Katherine MacCary (43rd in 22:22.89.

Brian Rich and Ascencion Aispuro led the men’s team. Rich took ninth (24:56.88) among 384 competitors, while Aispuro covered the 8K course in 25:10.49, good for 18th. They were followed by Connor Evans in 39th (25:34.00), Brendan Wood in 41st (25:35.58), and Kevin Serrao in 46th (25:41.74).

soccer all-stars

By ANDY KIRKALDY ADDISON COUNTY — It wasn’t a banner year for boys’ soccer at the area high schools. But each team enjoyed good moments and benefited from strong individual efforts that are recognized here by selection to the 2016 Addison Independent AllStar Team.

That team is headlined by two Middlebury Union High School juniors, goalie Santiago Fernandez and striker Camden Simpson, the 2016 Addison Independent Co-Players of the Year.

Fernandez and a solid defense took care of one end of the field while Simpson provided the lion’s share of the offense for Coach Reeves Livesay’s Tigers. They enjoyed a solid 6-5-3 regular season before a first-round Division I playoff loss that was technically a tie — it was decided by penalty shots.

Woman’s soccer team takes NCAA Regional

By ANDY KIRKALDY HOBOKEN, N.J. — The Middlebury College women’s soccer team on Sunday night knocked off host No. 9 Stevens Institute of Technology in an NCAA Division III Regional, 2-0, to advance to an NCAA Sectional that the Panthers’ NES-

CAC rival Williams will host.

The Panthers — at 15-4 the team among the 16 remaining in the tournament with the most losses — will face No. 6 Messiah (19-2) in one Saturday semifinal in Williamstown, Mass., at 1:30 p.m., after the No. 3 Ephs (17-0-2) meet No. 12 Johns

Hopkins (17-2-2) at 11 a.m. The winners will meet on Sunday at 1 p.m.

The Panthers did not play Messiah this fall, but they have one common foe: Messiah lost to Stevens, 2-1.

The Panthers received votes in the most recent coaches’ poll and are essentially ranked No. 29, but that

was before they defeated Stevens on Sunday and MIT on Saturday in the tournament’s first round, 1-0.

Middlebury is also the last team to defeat Williams, dealing the defending NCAA champions their only loss of 2015.

football nets third in league

MIDDLEBURY — Visiting Tufts held off a comeback by the Middlebury College football team on Saturday, prevailing by 48-35 in the season’s final game for both teams.

The Jumbos (7-1) clinched sole possession of second place in NESCAC behind 8-0 Trinity, while the 6-2 Panthers finished tied for third with Wesleyan. With its 6-2 season, Middlebury is now 31-9 over the past five years.

At the Panthers’ Alumni Stadium on Saturday Middlebury nearly rallied from a 41-7 deficit as the two teams combined for almost 1,000 yards of total offense.

Tufts scored on its opening drive when Chance Brady found the end zone on a one-yard rush. Middlebury tied the game on a 31-yard scoring strike from quarterback Jared Lebowitz to tight end Frank Cosolito with 12:47 remaining in the second.

Lebowitz passed to James Burke for 20 and 23 yards on the drive and hit Diego Meritus for 24 yards.

Tufts responded with five straight scores before halftime, starting with Willie Holmquist field goals from 41 and 37 yards out.

After a short Panther punt, Brady (See Football, Page 2B)

Messiah tips Middlebury field hockey

MECHANICSBURGH, Penn. — The Middlebury College field hockey team easily won its first game in the NCAA Division III tournament on Saturday, but fell to top-ranked host Messiah in a Regional final, 4-2, on Sunday.

The defending national champion Panthers, who graduated most of their starting lineup, finished the season at 15-5, while Messiah advanced to the final four with a 20-1 record.

Messiah scored twice in Sunday’s final 10 minutes to oust the Panthers from the tournament.

The Panthers’ Annie Leonard opened the scoring 12:44 into the contest. Leonard touched the ball past two defenders and laced a shot into the lower right corner for her 24th goal of the season. The goal marked the second straight season the junior forward has scored 24 goals; she is tied for fourth for career goals with 57.

The Falcons tied the game on a Shayna Landis penalty stroke 9:44 the half. Messiah took the lead five minutes later on a penalty corner. Taylor Holt inserted the ball, and Kezia Loht lofted a shot home.

Middlebury tied the score on a penalty corner 8:32 into the second half.

Audrey Quirk inserted to Grace Jennings, who set Lauren Schweppe’s 12th goal of the season.

By ANDY KIRKALDY ADDISON COUNTY — Ninetyfour young hunters brought deer to be weighed at one of Addison County’s weigh stations after finding success on the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department’s Youth Deer Hunting Weekend.

That total kill on Nov. 5 and 6 represented an increase of 16 over the 78 deer weighed locally during the 2015 Youth Hunting Weekend.

But last year’s total was the lowest in the county since the Department of Fish and Wildlife established the two-day weekend reserved for youth hunting. Local youth weekend totals over the past decade before the past two years ranged from a low of 95 in 2010 to a high of 124 in 2012. (See numbers for and analysis of rifle season’s opening weekend on Page 1A.) Still, a number of young hunters bagged trophy bucks on Nov. 5 and 6. The largest was a 191-pound, 7-pointer that Nolan Whitcomb had

weighed at the Jerusalem Corners Country Store in Starksboro.

Others of note taken on Youth Hunting Weekend included two 180-pound bucks weighed at Rack and Reel in New Haven: Ryan Thomas-Danyow shot an 8-pointer in Ferrisburgh, and RyleeMae Mason killed a 5-pointer in New Haven.

Three sizable bucks with impressive racks were taken to Buxton’s Store in Orwell: Kerrigan Disorda shot a 179-pound, 8-pointer in Benson; Cole Blair brought down a 170-pound, 8-pointer in Shoreham; and Nathaniel Young killed a 168-pound, 7-pointer in Orwell.

New Haven’s Village Green Market also handled a deer with a notable rack, a 162-pound, 8-pointer that William Forbes shot in Middlebury.

Other local reporting stations included here are Green Mountain Trails End in Bristol, Lincoln Gen(See Youth, Page 6B)

THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Tate Rheaume, left, and his 12-year-old brother, Jett Rheaume, display the deer they bagged on Sunday morning, Nov. 6, in Cornwall during Vermont Youth Hunting Weekend. Tate shot an 84-pound button buck and Jett killed a 113-pound doe. The young hunters are the sons of Stacey and Ricky Rheaume of Salisbury.

Panthers (Continued from Page 1B) On Sunday, Middlebury got offense from a surprising source in winning an NCAA Regional for the seventh time: Freshman Virginia Charman scored her first two career goals, one in each half.

Stevens, which finished 19-2, had the first good looks on goal, including a cross by Rabba Nassif that Panther defender Alex Barber cleared away.

But the Panthers controlled most of the first-half SOCCER play and outshot the Ducks, 7-5, in the first 45 minutes. In the 25th minute Stevens goalie Lindsey Mahnken denied Sabrina Glaser from 15 yards out, and three minutes later Glaser shot wide after a centering pass from Caitlin Magruder.

Middlebury’s Adrianna Gildner also had two nice opportunities to put her team on the board. The first was a hard shot in the 32nd minute that Mahnken denied, and minutes later she missed just left in a two-onone break.

Middlebury broke through with 1:19 remaining in the half. Gildner broke in on the right side and centered to Charman, who one-touched a shot into the left side of the net.

Early in the second half, Gildner found Clare Robinson. Mahnken came out to meet Robinson, who tapped the ball over the goalie. Her looping shot headed toward the right corner before Duck defender Olivia Butera cleared the ball off the goal line.

But the play resulted in a corner kick, and Panthers cashed in. Gildner served the ball from the right, and it was cleared just outside the 18, where Sharman volleyed a blast straight into the upper right corner 2:53 into the half.

Stevens pressed for a few minutes after the goal. After a corner kick, Middlebury’s Amanda Hotvedt headed a scoring chance out of danger. A minute later, Stevens’ Julia Panko fired high.

But the Panthers regrouped, won most 50-50 challenges, regained an edge in possession and moved the ball well. Gildner threatened in the 60th and 61st minutes, with her first shot going wide and Mahnken denying her second chance. Middlebury nearly scored in the 72nd minute, but Glaser’s sliding shot on a feed from Gildner went just wide.

Gabby Mathelier and Rachel Chavin of Stevens had bids, but Panther keeper Ursula Alwang was positioned perfectly to deny both. At the other end, Mahnken stopped another Gildner blast.

Stevens had two great chances in the final minutes, although the Ducks for the most part struggled to launch dangerous shots against Panther backs Barber, Amanda Haik, Janie DeVito and Alissa Huntington. Duck Zisi Komar’s shot hit the crossbar, and Misha Brewster worked loose to put a head on a cross from Gabriella Saade, but the bid sailed just wide with 3:39 remaining.

Each team recorded 15 shots, while and Stevens held a 5-4 edge in corner kicks. Alwang made five saves, while Mahnken finished with six stops.

A drive later, Middlebury found the end zone again, as Lebowitz connected with Cosolito for a 60-yard touchdown pass on a fourth-and-two play.

Cosolito caught five passes for a career-high 125 yards. Banky finished with seven receptions for 100 yards, while Burke (83 yards) and Meritus (52 yards) each caught six passes. Meritus also added 54 yards of rushing on 16 carries. Banky’s 11 touchdown receptions in 2016 place him in a second-place tie on Middle-

Livesay’s Quotes: “He’s such a strong player, and he plays incredibly hard … He goes for the ball and he goes hard … He’s a finisher. He understands how to finish … He understands how to place the ball in the corner … He has the sort of nose for the goal that is difficult to teach …That finishing ability combined with the speed makes him a very dangerous player … He very good at creating turnovers … He wants to be a leader.”

OWEIN LABARR, MOUNT ABE SENIOR. Notes: Big, fast, strong and skilled defender who also provided an offensive spark for the Eagles … Scored two goals on headers on corner kicks, and assisted four goals, primarily on accurate free kicks into the box… Threeyear starter at center back who excelled at one-v-one defense, communicated well and organized the back line, and played sound positional defense.

Corey’s Quotes: “He is very strong and wins almost every contested ball on the ground or in the air … His LABARR pace allows him to run down attacking players and win the ball … He is exceptionally technical and can play his way out of pressure when necessary … His decision making on defense, whether defending the ball or off the ball is nearly flawless … As a defender, I thought he had all the tools … Owein’s a great leader, talking to his teammates all the time, picking them up.”

MAX RATTI-BICKNELL, VUHS SENIOR. Notes: Skilled and tireless two-way midfielder and team leader who tied for the team lead with nine goals, including some belonging on a highlight reel, and added three assists … Rarely came off the field, and showed toughness as he played the final two-and-ahalf games with a broken hand … Defended well in addition to finishing plays.

Hayes’ Quotes: “He has great skill and first touch …

He has a positive attitude and is very gritty ... When he is in a game he does not let up ... He is a warrior on the pitch and I love having him on my team because of his great attitude.”

EZEKIEL PALMER, VUHS SOPHOMORE. Notes: Dangerous, skilled striker who became the Commodores’ leading point-getter with nine goals and five assists … Also spent some time at midfield and moved the ball and defended well in that role … Had the ability and skills to finish plays and take on opponents one-on-one, and the field vision to set up chances for his teammates.

Hayes’ Quotes: “He’s ruthless in the box … He liked to attack defenders, even one against two … He was fearless … He knew he was skilled. He knew he could PALMER handle the technical side of dribbling the ball, and he made defenders look frightened … They were always worried about where he was … He did a nice job of distributing the ball … He was the most allaround skilled player on the team.”

MAXWELL WILLIAMS, OV JUNIOR. Notes: Skilled, smart central midfielder who made good use of his years of club experience to lead all local players with seven assists … Also chipped in two goals … Played a key role for OV in moving the ball up the field as well as creating chances for his teammates … Worked hard to disrupt other teams at midfield.

Williams’ Quotes: “He is the conduit on our team …

When we build out from the back we go through Maxwell.

When we combine in the midfield it is through MaxWILLIAMS well … He is the player that settles the team down so that we are playing with intent … He has great technical skills and his work rate is second to none on the team in practice or in games … He works as hard defending and trying to win the ball back as he does in trying to fuel our attack.”

Notes: Poised, vocal leader of the stingy Tiger defense at sweeper … Heady, smart player who excelled in his first year at central defense after switching from midfield … Excelled at using his knowledge of the game to be in the right place at the right time to break up opponents’ threats … Used his skills to help build the Tiger attack out of the back.

PYLE Livesay’s Quotes: “He was the individual who organized our backs, the person who helped our team sort out who we were marking … He was the one who communicated when people had to step … He’s a very knowledgeable player with a great understanding of the

game … The big thing for him is his anticipation.

He reads the game well … He has very good feet.

He’s very good distributing the ball.”

ELI RICKNER, MOUNT ABE JUNIOR. Notes: Versatile soccer player who used his skills, quickness and stamina to succeed in several roles for the Eagles … Played well on defense, showing tenacity; at midfield, winning balls and distributing well; and on the attack, scoring three goals and setting up one … Physical player with great balance and determination.

Corey’s Quotes: “When he gets his motor running, whether he’s defending or pushing forward with the ball, he’s impressive … He’s just high energy, big motor, explosive acceleration … Loose balls that look like other players have several steps on him, he gets there RICKNER … He can get forward 30, 40 yards in a blink … He’s shifty. He’s very hard to contain … He’s the consummate team guy … He promoted that concept, that they were a group of brothers.”

JACK WILLIS, MOUNT ABE SENIOR. Notes: Multi-skilled and tenacious player who led the Eagles with seven goals and three assists while splitting time between striker and left middie …

Dangerous in the box because of his quick feet and strong shot, and a threat on the flank due to his speed and strong crosses …

Also diligent in handling his defensive midfield responsibilities.

Corey’s Quotes: “He really volunteered to move back out to the left flank … He was effective both places …

He had tremendous left-foot crosses … He was tremendously accurate … We knew WILLIS he could put the ball within a few feet of where we wanted it … He became more successful at getting by guys at getting down to the end line, at beating people and knocking balls back into the box.”

HARLOW PUNDERSON, MUHS SENIOR. Notes: Quick and strong player at stopper who not only stepped up to disrupt many plays but also typically marked many opponents’ top scorers …

Key player for the Tiger defense in heading the ball out of trouble … Solid decision maker and distributor with the ball.

Livesay’s Quotes: “Harlow was probably our team’s strongest tackler, and he was also our strongest player in the air … He played in the middle, where he was always PUNDERSON getting matched up with the other team’s strongest striker … He was a great communicator in that back line … He did a nice job of helping us move the ball laterally and switch the point of attack.”

Gehman added an empty net goal in the final minute with Panther goalie Emily Miller pulled for an extra attacker; that came shortly after Panther Kelly Coyle’s bid for the tying score went wide.

Miller made eight saves for the Panthers, while Messiah’s Shelby Landes had two stops. The hosts held advantages in both shots (15-7) and penalty corners (8-5). Middlebury was making its seventh straight appearance in an NCAA quarterfinal.

productive ground to install a conservation measure seems foreign to many farmers in the Northeast, it shouldn’t be. Most easily can tell where grassed waterways would be an effective tool in their toolbox for keeping soil on fields.

Wherever there is gully erosion, not much is growing and it is wet and rough (from eroding topsoil), a grassed waterway may be the answer. The productive ground in many cases is not all that productive because soils tend to be saturated with frequent water inundation, which can prohibit quality crop growth.

In many cases, grassed waterways do not need to be much wider than 20 feet depending on the situation. The benefit to the field, equipment and the environment will offset any yield loss from not cropping that area. In some areas grassed waterways can be installed wide enough to crop.

For example, a perennial forage could be seeded using a design that would allow for turning equipment within the boundaries of a grassed waterway. Tall vegetation is not needed, only a sod base or other vegetation with a good root system to help hold the soil.

A strong motivation to install one is that in Vermont, according to new regulations passed under Act 64, it is a violation of the law to have soil leaving fields in concentrated areas and entering state waterways. More importantly, it makes no business sense to allow this to happen.

The top six inches of top soil is your most important asset, so why let it leave your farm? You have fertilized and cultivated the soil to grow your crop for your business.

4-H’ers horse delegates score at Nationals LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Vermont 4-H horse delegates to the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup this month did the state proud, finishing in the top 10 in team competitions in all events with the communications team capturing first place in their contest.

Roundup, the nation’s largest national 4-H horse program contest, attracted more than 300 competitors from 25 states including 16 Vermonters —Bridport and Bristol were represented; one Vermont coach is a Panton resident. It took place Nov. 4-6 at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky. Contests included communications, quiz bowl, horse judging and hippology. The latter involved

several phases including a written exam, judging, team problem solving and identification stations where the 4-H’ers answered questions on equine topics.

In the communications contest, Kassidy Wyman, Cambridgeport, was named Individual Presentation Champion for her winning talk, “Your Next Investment,” about buying a horse. Her win earned her a $500 scholarship from the American Quarter Horse Association. Hannah Lang, Essex Junction, and Alexis Walker, Westford, won the Team Presentation Reserve Championship for their second-place finish with their demonstration, “Toxic Much?”

The fourth member of the team was Holly Weglarz of Hartland.

She earned fifth place in the public speaking contest for her talk, “Heart of a 4-H’er.” Coaches for the team were Sonja Blanchard, Woodstock; Cathy Leathersich, Underhill; Andrea Scott, Milton, and Tina Wyman, Cambridgeport.

Vermont finished sixth in the horse quiz bowl with team member Chelsea Carcoba of Danville coming in seventh for individual scores.

Kimberly Gibson, Bristol; Catherine Thrasher, Rupert; and Bridget Webber, West Burke; also competed as members of this team, which was coached by Norma Katz of Springfield.

The horse judging team was comprised of Elyza Bird, Benson; (See Nationals, Page 5B)

Waterways (Continued from Page 4B) Letting it go down the ditch is just bad business.

Furthermore, soil erosion creates sedimentation problems in ditches and creates additional work in the field to fill in gullies with more topsoil in an effort to prepare the field for planting. If you think about the zone of influence, where the concentrated flow of water is causing problems on your field, it is probably larger than the entire grassed waterway would be. The amount of area you need to cover with soil “pulled” back into the gully to repair it, just to have it wash out again, is no doubt larger than the area of a grassed waterway, which would cure the problem.

Installation of grassed waterways is a very cost-effective method of addressing soil erosion on crop fields. Many farmers already have the necessary equipment to move and shape the soil so that the grassed waterway will perform adequately.

In many cases, a box blade and SIXTEEN VERMONT 4-H’ers earned a place on the state horse delegation that competed at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup, Nov. 4-6 in a seeder will make short work of a Kentucky. They included competitors from Bridport and Bristol, and a coach from Panton.

has sample designs and job sheets that can guide you through the installation of a grassed waterway without government assistance. Go to www.nrcs.usda.gov and search for “Engineering Field Tools.”

Grassed waterways following NRCS design are built to have an average lifespan of 10 years and require little annual maintenance.

NRCS and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets through its Best Management Practices grant program also can provide financial assistance. Keep in mind, this may require a more detailed engineering effort depending on the project, but funds are available.

The Farmers Watershed Alliance of Franklin and Grand Isle Counties was awarded a grant by the Lake Champlain Basin Program to install three grassed waterway projects this past summer. These structures were constructed on farms in Fairfax, Franklin and Sheldon, and farmers are very happy with the results.

The farmers were actively involved with the projects and worked with their selected contractors to ensure that the installations were done in a manner that worked for their farm. As they discovered, grassed waterways are a common-sense solution to a common problem on many Vermont fields.

ADDISON COUNTY — Troopers at the New Haven barracks of the Vermont State Police are investigating several recent vehicle break-ins in Lincoln, Goshen and Ripton.

In five incidents on Nov. 5, 6 and 8, victims left their vehicles parked at trailheads, including the Lincoln Gap Road trailhead and the Silver Lake Trail head, around 2 or 3 p.m.

Upon return each victim found a vehicle window smashed and items were taken. Reported stolen from the vehicles were cash, tablets, power tools and cameras.

Anyone with information regarding suspicious activity or information relating to any of these incidents is asked to contact state police at the New Haven barracks. Police advise people who intend to enjoy hiking and other activities in the area to not keep items of value in vehicle left at trailheads, and certainly not leave items in plain view in cars.

In other recent activity, state police: • On Nov. 11 at 9 a.m. investigated a one-car crash on South Lincoln Road near the Lincoln town garage.

Police report that Michele Haskins, 51, of Lincoln lost control of the 2002 Pontiac Grand Am she was driving and crossed the center of the road, colliding with guardrails and causing moderate damage to the front end and driver side. Police blamed bald tires for the loss of control. Haskins was transported to Porter Hospital, where a Drug Recognition Expert evaluated her for impairment due to drugs. Haskins remained at Porter Hospital for medical evaluation and treatment for head lacerations.

• On Nov. 12 at 7:30 a.m. were called to Daigneault Hill Road in Orwell for the report of a vehicle that had slid off the roadway. Troopers said they were met by Cory Nichols, 29, of Hudson Falls, N.Y., who told them that at approximately 1 a.m. he was driving his vehicle on Daigneault Hill Road when the vehicle stalled, slid down the hill and came to a crashing halt 30 feet off the

roadway. During the course of the conversation with Nichols, troopers said they detected a slight odor of intoxicants. Nichols submitted to Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, the results of which confirmed the suspicion that Nichols was under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, troopers allege. Troopers report that at least six and a half hours after the car went off the road, they tested Nichols’ blood alcohol content at roadside and it measured 0.174 percent — more than twice the legal limit of 0.08. Police cited Nichols for driving under the influence.

• On Nov. 13 at approximately 12:38 a.m. stopped a motor vehicle on Monkton Road in Monkton. Police said driver Theresa Findeisen, 61, of Manchester emanated a moderate odor of intoxicants and failed field sobriety tests but refused a breath test. Police cited Findeisen for driving under the influence.

• On Nov. 15 at 9:05 a.m. stopped a motor vehicle for a speeding on Route 7 in New Haven. The trooper cited the driver, Harold Babbie, 28, of Champlain, N.Y., for driving with a criminally suspended license.

• On Nov. 15 at 6:15 p.m. rushed to a three-car crash on Bristol Road in Monkton. State police report that 57-year-old Martin McLaughlin of Essex Junction was driving northbound on Bristol Road at approximately 38 mph; McLaughlin told police that he did not remember much about the collision itself.

Daniel Browdy, 49, of Middlebury told police that he was driving southbound on Bristol Road at approximately 40 mph when McLaughlin’s vehicle crossed the center line, striking a Volvo driven by Brady Hoffman, 29, of Williston before it continued and struck Browdy’s BMW.

All vehicles sustained moderate damages as a result of the collision.

Hoffman was transported to UVM Medical Center for further treatment/ evaluation During the course of the conversation with McLaughlin, the trooper said a moderate odor of intoxicants was emanating from McLaughlin.

McLaughlin submitted to field sobriety tests and a roadside breath test showed his blood alcohol content as 0.167 percent.

INSTALLING A REFLECTIVE E911 sign with the street number by the entrance to the farm or driveway will help fire departments and other emergency units respond more quickly in case of fire or other emergencies.

Even barns need reflective E911

By GEORGE COOK UVM Extension Farm Safety Specialist While we don’t hear about barn fires often, they do happen. And when they do, there is usually heavy damage not only to the barn but to attached buildings, livestock, tools and equipment stored in or near the barn along with personal loss and livelihood. Taking a few simple steps can help you prevent tragic losses in the event of a fire.

Start by installing a reflective E911 sign with street number by the entrance to your farm or driveway, just like those bright green signs for road identification. If you need information, contact your town office, fire department or rescue squad.

Developing a farm fire pre-plan with the help of your local fire department will make it easier for them to control a fire more quickly. You can download the University of Vermont Extension Farm Fire Pre-Plan datasheet at www.uvm.edu/extension/agriculture. Click on “Farm Health and Safety” then scroll down to the section on “Fire.”

On the form there’s a place to provide your E911 address and a map of all the buildings, utilities, access roads and water sources on your property. Keep one copy in your

files, and give the other to your local fire department. Update this annually or any time anything changes on the farm.

Fall is a time of transition from outdoor work to more indoor activities for most. When checking your barns and other outbuildings to make sure that they are properly prepared for colder weather, pay special attention to any source of supplemental heat as heating equipment is one of the biggest fire dangers on the farm.

This equipment needs to be properly maintained and installed to provide the warmth you want without increasing the fire risks that may come along with use of the unit.

Old stoves may have cracks that can throw sparks, so be sure to go over that old piece and determine if is still safe to fire up. Maintain safe space around the unit with no combustibles within at least three feet.

Stovepipes and chimneys are another common source of problems.

When was that chimney cleaned last? Is it sound, free of crumbling bricks and with a safe liner? If you are unsure of any of these questions, it would be wise to contact a certified chimney sweep or mason and have it inspected. And do it now before the heating season really hits us.

Hot embers blown from burning

brush, leaves or other refuse, often too near buildings, are a fairly common source of trouble. Watch the weather and wind direction and never burn upwind of buildings.

Another cause of building fires is old, worn, frayed wiring and outdated electrical systems. As you grow and expand your business, you will keep adding to the electrical load.

When was the last time you had a certified electrician evaluate your electrical demand and service entrance panel? Do you have the capacity that your farm has grown to need?

Overloaded circuits also are a real danger. Those old two-wire outlets need to go.

Barns and outbuildings usually are prone to moisture problems. So that means that all wiring needs to be properly grounded and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets or circuits need to be installed.

Here’s a parting question. Do you have a sign with the number of animals that are typically housed in each building posted by the entrance? In case of a fire, this would be very helpful to responding emergency crews. This information should be part of your farm fire preplan developed for and with your fire department.
