New Vergennes gallery looks to create a local splash with fine art â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Northern Daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to open this Friday By  EVAN  JOHNSON  VERGENNES  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  A  Vergennes  duo  has  big  plans  for  a  small  gal-­ lery  that  throws  open  its  doors  this  Friday.  Northern  Daughters  is  the  art  gal-­ lery  owned  and  operated  by  Justine  Jackson  and  Sophie  Pickens,  life-­ long  friends  who  have  endeavored  to  share  their  lifelong  appreciation  for  art  by  creating  a  space  where  they  can  showcase  all  sorts  of  work.  Both  women  come  from  creative  backgrounds.  Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  mother  is  New  Haven  painter  Anne  Cady.  While  her  children  were  growing  up,  Cady  often  featured  them  in  her  work  and  gave  them  lessons.  Pick-­ ens  is  the  daughter  of  artists  and  en-­ trepreneurs  and  helped  her  mother, Â

Pamela  Smith,  produce  live-­sized  ens  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justine  had  always  talked  statues.  The  two  childhood  friends  about  wanting  to  open  a  gallery  and  attended  the  Bridge  School  in  Mid-­ together  we  often  discussed  wanting  dlebury  together.  to  start  a  business.  The  The  idea  for  Northern  timing  felt  right.â&#x20AC;?  Daughters  began  as  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look for The  two  returned  conversation  over  cof-­ work that elicits to  Vermont  this  past  fee  in  New  York  City  an emotional spring  and  last  month  last  year.  While  neither  quietly  opened  the  gal-­ or visceral studied  art  in  college  lery  at  221  Main  St.  in  (Jackson  graduated  response, that Vergennes,  the  space  from  Middlebury  Col-­ stirs something. formerly  occupied  by  lege  in  2010  with  a  de-­ Its art you want the  3  Squares  restau-­ gree  in  Latin  American  to live with.â&#x20AC;? rant.  The  pair  worked  Studies  while  Pickens  â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Justine Jackson with  the  building  owner  studied  Chinese  and  to  renovate  the  space,  Costume  Design  at  Vas-­ which  was  transformed  sar  College,  graduating  in  2006),  the  from  a  sit-­down  restaurant  to  a  tidy  idea  of  getting  back  to  their  state  gallery  with  white  walls  and  the  new  where  they  spent  their  childhood  for  name  of  the  space  spelled  in  letter-­ an  artistic  endeavor  was  weighing  ing  on  the  wide  windows  at  the  front:  heavily  on  their  minds  Northern  Daughters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  both  wanted  to  move  home  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  a  nod  to  our  ancestry  and  the  to  Vermont  and  we  were  discuss-­ land  we  come  from,â&#x20AC;?  Jackson  said  of  ing  how  we  might  do  that,â&#x20AC;?  Pick-­ the  businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  name.

On  the  galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  website,  north-­ erndaughters.com,  the  two  describe  the  gallery  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;a  space  that  merges  the  aesthetic  of  blue  chip  galleries  with  the  familiarity  and  authenticity  of  a  Vermont  general  store.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  about  having  a  clean  design  so  you  can  see  each  piece  of  work,  while  at  the  same  time  having  a  space  that  the  whole  community  can  be  part  of,  a  space  that  you  regularly  visit,â&#x20AC;?  explained  Pickens.

The  gallery  currently  hosts  the  work  of  six  artists,  ranging  in  style  and  media  from  the  swirling  abstract  acrylics  of  Cameron  Schmitz  to  the  stark  illustrations  by  Ricardo  Vizcar-­ ra  and  the  wire  sculptures  by  Eben  Markowski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  look  for  work  that  elicits  an Â

emotional  or  visceral  response,  that  stirs  something.  Its  art  you  want  to  live  with,â&#x20AC;?  Jackson  said.

When  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  not  at  the  gallery,  both  of  the  young  entrepreneurs  hold  down  other  jobs  in  Vergennes  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Pickens  at  the  John  W.  Graham  Emergency  Shelter  and  Jackson  at  the  Vergennes  Laundry  eatery.  Nei-­ ther  considers  herself  a  practicing  artist.

Northern  Daughters  hosts  its  grand  opening  this  Friday  from  5  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  8  p.m.  ;Íž  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  calling  the  event  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Madonnas  Make  You  Brave.â&#x20AC;?  The  opening  will  feature  art  produced  by  both  Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  and  Pickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  mothers.  The  title  of  the  opening  comes  from  a  painting  by  Anne  Cady  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mountains  Make  You Â

Braveâ&#x20AC;?  and  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Madonnasâ&#x20AC;?  that  Pickens  made  with  her  mother.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  title  was  a  direct  message  to  me,  her  daughter,â&#x20AC;?  said  Jackson.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  a  reminder  that  where  we  come  from,  the  actual  land  we  be-­ long  to,  can  always  lend  us  strength.  My  motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  approach  to  her  work  is  deeply  personal  and  rooted  in  her  love  of  this  land,  that  which  our  family  has  belonged  to  for  genera-­ tions.â&#x20AC;?  After  the  opening,  the  two  hope  WR KRVW ZRUNVKRSV ÂżOP VFUHHQLQJV and  other  live  events.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  want  the  gallery  to  be  a  liv-­ ing  space,â&#x20AC;?  Pickens  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  excited  to  develop  programming  for  the  community  in  addition  to  exhib-­ iting  art.â&#x20AC;?

CHILDHOOD  FRIENDS  JUSTINE  Jackson,  left,  and  Sophie  Pickens  are  opening  a  new  gallery,  Northern  Daughters,  in  the  former  Three  Squares  space  in  downtown  Vergennes.  The  friends  will  host  the  galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  grand  opening  on  Friday  from  5  to  8  p.m.

Addison  plan  offering  changes Smaller  lots,  solar  limits  proposed By  ANDY  KIRKALDY ADDISON  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  A  half-­dozen  Ad-­ dison  residents  turned  out  on  Mon-­ day  night  at  Addison  Central  School  to  learn  more  about  and  comment  on  a  proposed  town  plan  that  could  lay  the  groundwork  for  new  zoning  laws.

Those  laws,  to  be  created  only  af-­ ter  the  selectboard  ultimately  adopts  a  plan,  could  allow  for  smaller  lots  in  the  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  biggest  zoning  district  and  create  permanent  regulations  at  the  town  level  on  solar  arrays  and  windmills.  The  town  now  has  inter-­ im  regulations  on  the  siting  of  solar  arrays  that  the  selectboard  adopted  in  July.  Despite  some  pushback  on  the  renewable  energy  provisions  in  the  proposed  plan  they  presented  at  Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  public  hearing,  members  of  the  Addison  Planning  Commis-­ sion  sounded  like  they  were  ready  to  forward  their  draft  to  the  selectboard,  a  decision  they  will  make  when  they  meet  again  this  coming  Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  recommendation  to  the  board  is  we  approve  it  and  send  it,â&#x20AC;?  said  planning  chairman  Frank  Galgano  after  Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  80-­minute  hearing.

CAROL  IRONS,  AN  Abenaki  elder  from  Albany,  Vt.,  speaks  during  a  Rising  Tide  Vermont  protest  at  a  Vermont  Gas  Systems  pipeline  construction  site  in  New  Haven  Tuesday.  About  50  people  showed  up  to  protest  the  construction  and  stand  in  solidarity  with  pipeline  protestors  in  Standing  Rock,  North  Dakota.

State  police  arrest  12  pipeline  opponents Group  in  sympathy with  Dakota  protets By  JOHN  FLOWERS NEW  HAVEN  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Vermont  State  Police  on  Tuesday  cited  12  people  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  including  a  member  of  the  local  FOHUJ\ DQG D 0LGGOHEXU\ WRZQ RIÂż-­ cial  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  with  unlawful  trespass  after  they  stood  in  the  way  of  construction  on  a  New  Haven  segment  of  the  Ad-­ dison  County  natural  gas  pipeline.

Organizers  of  the  natural  gas  pipe-­ line  blockade  said  they  took  the  ac-­ tion  to  show  solidarity  with  efforts  by  Native  Americans  and  allies  in  North  and  South  Dakota  who  are  trying  to  block  construction  of  an  oil  pipeline  there.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Dakota  Access  Pipeline  would  threaten  the  drinking  water  of  over  8  million  people  as  well  as  destroy  land  and  sacred  sites  acrossâ&#x20AC;?  lands  populated  by  the  Lakota  tribe,  according  to  a  release  from  a  group  called  Rising  Tide  Vermont.

The  Dakota  Access  Pipeline  was  in  the  news  last  week  when  a  judge  said  construction  could  proceed  and  then  the  Obama  Administration  stopped  building  while  further  re-­ view  of  the  project  took  place.

Those  arrested  in  New  Haven  on  Tuesday  included  the  Rev.  Barnaby  Feder,  66,  leader  of  the  Champlain  Valley  Unitarian  Universalist  Soci-­ ety  in  Middlebury;Íž  and  Jason  Kaye,  33,  chairman  of  the  town  of  Middle-­ buryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  energy  committee.  Also  cited  for  unlawful  tres-­ pass  were  David  Przepioski,  57,  of  Craftsbury;Íž  Nathan  Palmer,  60,  of  Monkton;Íž  William  Bennington,  38,  RI 3ODLQÂżHOG ZKR ZDV DOVR FLWHG IRU resisting  arrest);Íž  Lisa  Barrett,  71,  of  Huntington;Íž  June  Daubner,  85,  of  Bristol;Íž  Alice  Evans,  77,  of  Waits-­ ÂżHOG %DUEDUD 0LOHV RI %ULVWRO Maeve  McBride,  40,  of  South  Burl-­ ington;Íž  Karen  Bixler,  74,  of  Bethel;Íž  and  Rodney  Munroe,  61,  of  Chitten-­ den.

The  12  individuals  were  among  a  group  of  50  who  entered  property  at  716  Hunt  Road  at  a  little  after  9  a.m.  Tuesday  under  direction  of  Rising Â

Tide  Vermont.  There,  the  protesters  surrounded  excavating  equipment  related  to  the  Vermont  Gas  Systems  pipeline  project,  which  will  began  construction  last  year  and  is  due  to  be  completed  in  2017.  Contractors  working  on  the  site  left  when  the  protesters  arrived.

The  protesters  reportedly  inter-­ fered  with  a  roadway  that  Vermont  Gas  had  built  to  allow  the  property  ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  cattle  access  to  feed,  accord-­ ing  to  VSP  Det.  Trooper  Michael  Notte.

When  the  property  owner  asked  that  the  protesters  be  removed  from  his  property,  VSP  gave  them  30  min-­ utes  in  which  to  leave  or  face  police  arrest,  according  to  Notte.  Twelve  of  the  protesters  elected  to  remain  on  site  beyond  the  deadline  and  were  thus  cited,  according  to  police.

The  protestors  delayed  work  on  the  pipeline  for  around  three-­and-­a-­

half  hours,  according  to  police.

Kaye  had  protested  the  pipeline  by  locking  himself  to  a  piece  of  heavy  equipment  in  Middlebury  on  July  29  to  slow  construction  of  the  pipeline  being  laid  from  Colchester  to  Mid-­ dlebury  and  Vergennes.  Feder  provided  the  following  comments  about  his  reasons  for  par-­ ticipating  in  Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  protest: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  my  view,  the  Vermont  Gas  pipeline  project  dangles  the  prospect  RI VKRUW WHUP ÂżQDQFLDO EHQHÂżWV IRU energy  users,  the  illusion  of  energy  security,  and  some  debatable  advan-­ tages  over  other  hydrocarbon  energy  sources  in  front  of  Vermonters,â&#x20AC;?  he  said  in  his  written  response.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;All  it  asks  in  return  was  our  willingness  to  continue  kidding  ourselves  about  the  severity  of  the  dangers  posed  by  climate  change  or,  for  those  who  are  aware,  to  give  up  hope  of  making  a  difference.  A  similar  soul-­numbing Â

bargain  is  being  demanded  of  Ameri-­ cans  by  the  Dakota  oil  pipeline,  with  the  added  obvious  injustice  of  tram-­ pling  on  the  rights  and  concerns  ex-­ pressed  by  Native  Americans  of  the  Lakota  tribe.â&#x20AC;?

Feder  noted  the  Rev.  Peter  Mo-­ rales,  president  of  the  Unitarian  Uni-­ versalist  Association,  recently  called  on  UUs  everywhere  to  join  local  pro-­ tests  in  support  of  the  Lakota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  did  so,  not  in  the  belief  get-­ ting  arrested  for  criminal  trespass  at  the  construction  site  in  New  Haven  would  stop  either  pipeline,  but  be-­ cause  I  have  never  seen  social  justice  and  environmental  wisdom  blossom  in  the  long  run  without  the  willing-­ ness  of  far-­sighted  people  to  faithful-­ ly  plant  seeds  of  solidarity  at  times  when  it  was  inconvenient,  unpopular  or  even  dangerous,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

Reporter  John  Flowers  is  at  johnf@addisonindependent.com.

A  VERMONT  STATE  Police  trooper  stands  watch  as  more  than  50  pro-­ testors  take  over  a  Vermont  Gas  Systems  pipeline  construction  site  in  New  Haven  Tuesday.  The  protest,  organized  by  Rising  Tide  Vermont,  was  held  in  solidarity  with  an  ongoing  protest  against  the  Dakota  Ac-­ cess  Pipeline  in  North  Dakota.

ABENAKI  ELDER  CAROL  Irons  speaks  to  a  crowd  of  protestors  at  a  Vermont  Gas  Systems  pipeline  con-­ struction  site  in  New  Haven  Tuesday.  Twelve  protestors  were  arrested  after  shutting  down  construction  and  occupying  the  site  for  a  few  hours.

Obituaries Charles Einsiedler, 102, Scarborough Maine

SCARBOROUGH,  Maine  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Charles  Einsiedler  passed  away  Sept.  5,  2016,  in  Scarborough,  Maine,  just  days  shy  of  his  103rd  birthday.  Born  on  his  familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  small  farm  in  Stirling,  N.J.,  on  Sept.  29,  1913,  to  Stephanie  Ruegg  Ein-­ siedler  and  Charles  Einsiedler  who  had  emigrated  from  Switzerland.  Charlie  attended  local  schools,  taking  the  train  to  the  nearest  high  school  in  Summit.  He  attended  Cor-­ nell  University,  graduating  from  the  engineering  college  in  1936.  He  went  on  to  work  at  KW  Battery  Company  in  Brooklyn,  N.Y.,  where  he  met  his  future  wife,  Betty.  Dur-­ ing  WWII,  Charlie  volunteered  for  the  Navy  but  was  declared  4F  due  to  a  heart  condition.  He  joined  the  Coast  Guard  reserve  and  further  served  his  country  through  his  engi-­ neering  work  in  coal  mines  and  on  submarines  at  the  Portsmouth  Navy  Yard.

His  engineering  career  took  Betty  and  him  back  to  New  Jersey  and  then  to  Rhode  Island,  where  they  lived  for  57  years.  There  he  founded  D K\GUDXOLFV DQG SQHXPDWLFV ÂżUP that  featured  his  patented  invention,  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Auto-­Clamp.â&#x20AC;?  Charlie  was  the  consummate  researcher  and  tinker-­ HU +H EXLOW KLV ÂżUVW FDU DW WKH DJH RI 12  and  continued  to  work  on  models  IRU PRUH HIÂżFLHQW HQJLQHV LQWR KLV 100s.  At  the  age  of  88,  he  and  Betty  traveled  to  Loma  Linda  University  Medical  Center  in  California  to  par-­ ticipate  in  ground-­breaking  proton  cancer  therapy,  forming  a  special  bond  with  his  fellow  cancer  survi-­ vors.  In  2010,  he  and  Betty  moved  to  Piper  Shores,  Maine,  to  be  closer  to  family.

Charlie  loved  sports,  particularly  baseball  and  skiing,  telling  many Â

CHARLES  EINSIEDLER stories  about  riding  the  train  to  Can-­ ada  and  New  Hampshire  to  ski  and  his  days  of  playing  and  coaching  baseball.  A  favorite  memory  was  at-­ WHQGLQJ KLV ÂżUVW PDMRU OHDJXH JDPH (unbeknownst  to  his  parents)  at  Fen-­ way  Park  in  the  1920s  when  his  fam-­ ilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  car  broke  down,  stranding  them  in  Boston  waiting  for  a  part  to  come  from  Detroit.  Charlie  coached  Little  League  teams  for  years,  and  was  particularly  proud  of  the  creation  of  the  Warwick  Little  League  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farm  Systemâ&#x20AC;?  so  that  any  child  who  wanted  to  play  on  a  team  could  be  accommodated.  He  also  conducted  an  informal  game  in  his  backyard  every  evening  for  neighborhood  children.  Still  dressed  in  his  shirt  and  tie,  he  pitched  to  each  participant  until  he  or  she  ended  on  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;good  hit.â&#x20AC;?

His  family  was  most  important  to  Charlie.  He  loved  seeing  them  grow  up  and  was  committed  to  providing Â

a  college  education  for  his  children  and  grandchildren.  He  proudly  sup-­ ported  them  in  their  endeavors,  at-­ tending  graduations  and  cheering  them  on  at  sporting  events  and  pro-­ grams  from  ski  and  fencing  meets,  to  baseball  games,  concerts  and  more.  His  only  request  for  his  100th  birth-­ day  was  to  have  a  chart  with  birth-­ days  so  he  could  better  keep  track  of  everyone.  But  most  of  all,  he  was  devoted  to  his  wife  of  over  70  years,  Betty,  who  was  the  love  of  his  life.

He  was  a  man  of  good  cheer  and  great  integrity,  gracious  to  fam-­ ily,  friends  and  all  he  met.  Charles  is  survived  by  his  wife,  Elizabeth,  his  children  and  their  spouses:  Ann  and  Richard  Crumb,  Middlebury,  VT;͞  Charles  and  Linda  Einsiedler,  Falmouth,  Maine;͞  John  and  Stepha-­ nie  Einsiedler,  Kennebunk,  Maine;͞  grandchildren  Stephanie  and  Jeffrey  Rea,  Richard  and  Kerstyn  Crumb,  Alexander  Crumb;͞  Christen  and  Derek  Shepherd,  Charles  III  (Spike)  and  Sonja  Einsiedler,  James  Ein-­ siedler;͞  Diane  Einsiedler,  and  Luke  Einsiedler;͞  and  great-­grandchildren  Sam,  Katherine  and  Henry  Rea;͞  Tay-­ lor,  Noah  and  Elizabeth  Shepherd;͞  and  Charles  Einsiedler  IV. The  family  would  like  to  thank  the  nurses  and  staff  of  Piper  Shores  and  HomeInstead  in  Scarborough    for  their  extraordinary  service  and  care.

Coale  (Continued  from  Page  1A) tendent  Jim  Lombardo,  who  invited  him  to  interview.  Coale  was  subse-­ quently  offered  the  top  administrative  job  at  PHCC,  which  delivers  career  and  technical  education  programs  to  high  school  students  in  the  Addison  Central,  Northeast  and  Northwest  supervisory  unions.

Coale  took  the  job,  and  the  rest  is  PHCC  history  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  which  will  change  following  this  academic  year.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  EHFDXVH &RDOH KDV FRQÂżUPHG KH ZLOO step  down  as  director  after  a  15-­year  run  during  which  the  career  center  has  dramatically  expanded  both  its  physical  footprint  and  its  program  of-­ ferings.

At  62,  Coale  is  not  going  to  stop  working;Íž  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  got  some  projects  in  mind.  But  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  spent  more  time  at  the  PHCC  than  at  any  other  job  during  his  four  decades  in  education,  and  he  wants  to  do  something  else  before  of-­ ÂżFLDOO\ VWDUWLQJ KLV JROGHQ \HDUV â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  loved  every  minute  of  it  here,â&#x20AC;?  Coale  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  I  think  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  time  for  a  change  for  both  me  and  the  school.  I  think  it  will  be  good  to  have  new,  invigorated  leadership  with  fresh  ideas  and  new  energy.â&#x20AC;?

Whoever  succeeds  Coale  will  have  VRPH ELJ VKRHV WR ¿OO Soon  after  his  arrival  in  2002,  Coale  helped  the  PHCC  transition  to  self-­governance.  The  school  had  pre-­ viously  been  managed  by  the  UD-­3  board  in  concert  with  Middlebury  Union  Middle  and  High  Schools.

Coale  also  took  the  reins  of  a  major  capital  campaign  and  bond  vote  for  the  career  centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  $3.7  million  North  Campus  building,  completed  in  Mid-­ dleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  industrial  park  in  2006.

to  qualify  for  college  credits  in  the  same  manner  that  younger  students  can.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;dual  enrollment,â&#x20AC;?  al-­ lowing  PHCC  students  to  accumulate  post-­secondary  credits  through  their  increasingly  challenging  career  cen-­ ter  studies.

Coale  said  he  is  particularly  proud  of  the  fact  that  the  PHCC  can  offer  up  to  50  college  credits,  compared  WR ]HUR ZKHQ KH ÂżUVW DUULYHG RQ WKH scene  in  2002. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  have  juniors  now  who  are  getting  college  credit,â&#x20AC;?  Coale  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  we  have  installed  a  tremen-­ dous  amount  of  rigor  in  all  of  our  pro-­ grams.â&#x20AC;?

Coale  also  touted  the  strides  that  have  been  made  in  the  PHCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  die-­ sel  program  during  the  past  decade.  Participating  students  learn  how  to  repair  diesel  equipment,  which  of  course  is  widely  used  in  the  farming  and  trucking  industries.  Back  in  2002,  the  program  was  turning  out  around  a  half-­dozen  graduates  each  year,  ac-­ cording  to  Coale.  That  number  has  since  increased  dramatically,  largely  due  to  improved  facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  became  the  cornerstone  of  our  (North  Campus)  project,â&#x20AC;?  Coale  said  of  the  diesel  program.

But  Coaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  run  as  director  hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  all  been  peaches  and  cream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  had  to  cut  some  programs  I  really  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  cut,â&#x20AC;?  he  ac-­ NQRZOHGJHG UHIHUULQJ VSHFLÂżFDOO\ to  the  building  trades  and  video  tech  programs  that  were  casualties  of  tight  budgets  and/or  low  enrollment.

And  budgeting  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  get  any  easier  for  the  next  director,  Coale  suggested.  The  major  reason  for  that  is  declining  student  enrollment  in  Addison  County  and  indeed  in  most  parts  of  Vermont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  were  more  than  800  stu-­ dents  at  MUHS  when  I  got  here,â&#x20AC;?  Coale  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  are  just  over  500  students  there  right  now.â&#x20AC;?

It  should  be  noted  that  Coaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  per-­ formance  has  been  noticed  outside  of  Addison  County  as  well.  It  was  in  2010  that  the  Vermont  Principalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  As-­ sociation  named  Coale  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vermont  Technical  Director  of  the  Year.â&#x20AC;?

LOOKING  AHEAD Asked  what  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  do  when  he  â&#x20AC;&#x153;graduatesâ&#x20AC;?  from  PHCC  next  year,  Coale  said  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  like  to  write  â&#x20AC;&#x153;a  book  or  two.â&#x20AC;?  He  is  particularly  passionate  about  the  subject  of  making  college  more  affordable  to  all  students.  Coale  and  his  family  will  also  continue  mod-­ PATRICIA  A.  HANNAFORD  CAREER  Center  Director  Lynn  Coale  has  announced  he  is  stepping  down  at  the  end  of  the  school  year  after  15  est  farming  at  their  Weybridge  home.  The  bottom  line  is  that  Coale  still  years.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  were  some  health  and  safe-­ ty  issues  in  this  building,  and  every-­ one  was  crunched  in  here,â&#x20AC;?  he  said,  referring  to  the  centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Charles  Av-­ enue  campus  attached  to  Middlebury  Union  High  School.

So  PHCC  now  has  ample  space  in  which  to  offer  its  12  technical  and  six  foundational  programs,  embracing  such  core  academic  areas  as  agricul-­ ture,  arts  and  humanities,  business,  science,  technology,  engineering  and  math.

COURSE  CHANGE Coale  has  also  presided  over  cur-­ riculum  changes  that  have  brought  new  courses,  such  as  meat-­cutting,  visual  communications  and  graphic  design,  and  an  array  of  health  care-­ related  offerings.  Because  Coale  and  his  colleagues  through  the  years  have  made  note  of  Vermont  industries  with  graying  workforces  in  need  of  an  infusion  of  well-­trained  youths,  the  career  center  is  turning  out  the  next  generation  of  butchers,  nurses,  diesel  mechanics,  among  other  well-­paid  professions.  PHCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  health  care  curriculum  is  a  cooperative  effort  with  Vermont  Technical  College  and  Porter  Medi-­ cal  Center,  so  students  get  hands-­on  experience  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  college  credit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  really  proud  of  these  collabo-­ rations,â&#x20AC;?  Coale  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  student  can  get  their  LNA,  LPN  and  RN  (degrees)  without  leaving  the  career  center.â&#x20AC;?

During  Coaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  tenure  PHCC  has  also  beefed  up  its  adult  education  of-­ ferings,  thus  providing  area  residents  an  opportunity  to  make  career  tran-­ sitions  or  revisit  professional  paths  they  might  have  abandoned  as  teens.  And  he  wants  those  adults  to  be  able Â

is  looking  for  a  new  outlet  for  that  energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  not  sure  right  now  where  that  passion  is  going  to  lead  me,â&#x20AC;?  Coale  said.

Jason  Larocque  is  chairman  of  the  PHCC  board.  He  acknowledged  that  replacing  Coale  will  be  no  easy  task,  but  it  is  a  charge  the  board  will  take  on  carefully  and  transparently  in  hopes  of  having  a  new  leader  in  place  prior  to  Coaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  departure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  is  a  major  change  for  us,  and  we  are  not  taking  it  lightly,â&#x20AC;?  Larocque  said.

With  that  in  mind,  PHCC  on Â

Wednesday,  Sept.  14,  was  slated  to  form  a  subcommittee  to  shape  the  impending  search.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  process  that  Larocque  believes  will  involve  ample  input  from  citizens  and  school  RIÂżFLDOV RQ QRW RQO\ ZKDW NLQG RI individual  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  like  to  serve  as  the  next  PHCC  director,  but  also  a  broader  conversation  on  what  the  career  center  might  do  differently  to  even  better  serve  area  students  in  the  future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  will  use  that  community  input  to  guide  our  search,â&#x20AC;?  Larocque  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  will  look  for  the  right  candi-­ date  for  where  the  PHCC  is  now,  and Â

where  we  want  it  to  be  in  the  future.â&#x20AC;?

The  PHCC  board  will  need  to  de-­ cide  whether  to  make  its  search  re-­ gional,  national  or  international.  The  panel  is  keeping  all  of  its  options  open  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  including  the  prospect  of  bringing  in  an  interim  director  for  a  year  if  none  in  the  eventual  crop  of  candidates  measures  up  for  the  job,  according  to  Larocque.

Larocque  threw  a  verbal  bouquet  in  Coaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  career  center  is  where  it  is  today  because  of  Lynn  Coale,â&#x20AC;?  Larocque  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  wish  him  the  best,  and  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  happy  for  him.â&#x20AC;?

She  did  some  internships  at  some  farms  in  Western  Massachusetts  and  New  Jersey.  Kevra  liked  getting  her  hands  into  the  soil  and  seeing  her  work  pay  nourishing  dividends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  loved  it,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;That  has  al-­ ways  been  a  part  of  me.â&#x20AC;?

musicians  from  throughout  the  coun-­ try  and  beyond.  The  long  list  of  artists  who  have  been  involved  with  the  CCC  throughout  the  years  includes  violin-­ ists  Jaime  Laredo,  Laurie  Smukler  and  Eugene  Drucker;͞  the  Paris  Piano  Trio;͞  the  Borromeo  Quartet;͞  the  Talich  Quartet;͞  the  Whiffenpoofs  of  Yale;͞  so-­ prano  Hyunah  Yu;͞  mezzo-­soprano  Ju-­ lie  Boulliane;͞  pianist  Jeffrey  Chappell;͞  and  composers  Mohammed  Fairouz,  Jorge  Martin,  and  Evan  Premo.

Kevra  annually  puts  together  a  pro-­ gram  of  diverse  musical  offerings  that  include  popular  classical  mainstays  as  well  as  some  unusual  surprises.  For  example,  the  renowned  Formosa  Quartet,  along  with  Vermont  pianist  Paul  Orgel,  will  perform  the  Hungar-­ ian  composer  GyĂśrgy  Ligetiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  String  Quartet  No.  1  MĂŠtamorphoses  Noc-­ turnes,  as  part  of  a  Middlebury  concert  next  March.

Kevra  has  forged  friendships  with  her  fellow  artists,  with  whom  she  will  break  bread  and  talk  shop  during  the  series.

Some  of  them  are  repeat  performers,  having  become  audience  favorites  and  enamored  with  Vermont.

She  said  the  Capital  City  Concerts  differs  from  most  other  concert  series  because  the  performers  rehearse  a  pro-­ JUDP WKDW LV VSHFLÂżFDOO\ WDLORUHG WR WKH audience  it  is  attracting.  Many  other  concert  series  feature  touring  musical  groups  that  might  perform  the  same  musical  selections  from  venue  to  ven-­ ue,  according  to  Kevra. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  have  a  sense  in  these  concerts  that  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  playing  for  the  hometown  crowd,â&#x20AC;?  Kevra  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  sense  of  ownership.â&#x20AC;?

PLAYING  TO  FULL  HOUSES It  has  proven  to  be  a  winning  for-­ mula  through  the  years,  she  said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  routinely  have  full  houses  in  Montpelier,â&#x20AC;?  Kevra  noted.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  a  town  of  8,000  people,  to  sell  out  a  classical  music  concert,  is  really  amazing.â&#x20AC;?

The  CCC  came  to  a  sort  of  cross-­ roads  last  fall,  when  Kevra  relocated  from  Montpelier  to  Cornwall  to  reside  with  her  partner,  Middlebury  Col-­ lege  Professor  Bob  Cluss.  This  is  not  KHU ÂżUVW H[SHULHQFH OLYLQJ LQ $GGLVRQ &RXQW\ WKH 1HZ -HUVH\ QDWLYHÂśV ÂżUVW landing  spot  in  the  Green  Mountain  State  was  in  Bridport,  more  than  two  decades  ago.  She  ultimately  laid  down  roots  in  Montpelier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  took  something  really  compel-­ ling  to  get  me  to  leave  Montpelier,  be-­ cause  it  was  my  home  for  21  years  and  I  was  very  established  there,â&#x20AC;?  Kevra  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  suppose  in  the  end,  relation-­ ships  trump  all.â&#x20AC;?

It  might  have  been  easy  for  her  to  end  her  involvement  with  the  concert  series  due  to  geography,  but  Kevra  wanted  the  band  to  play  on.  So  she  decided  to  divide  the  performances  between  Montpelier  and  Middlebury.  She  found  a  willing  partner  in  the  Champlain  Valley  Unitarian  Univer-­ VDOLVW 6RFLHW\ ZKLFK KDV D PDJQLÂżFHQW facility  that  offers  great  acoustics  and,  as  Kevra  noted,  a  very  good  piano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  have  been  very  welcoming,  and  great  to  work  with,â&#x20AC;?  she  said  of  CVUUS  leaders.

Bridge  (Continued  from  Page  1A) bridge  timbers  were  coated  with  any  kinds  chemicals  that  might  preclude  conventional  disposal  of  the  debris,  according  to  Barker.

Barker  added  Cornwall  and  Salis-­ bury  both  maintained  insurance  on  the  covered  bridge  through  the  Ver-­ mont  League  of  Cities  and  Towns.  He  was  not  sure  on  Tuesday  about  the  exact  sum  for  which  the  bridge  was  insured.
