Solzhenitsyn concert to help Vt. baseball league From Staff & News Reports
newmarketpress@denpubs.com
World class musician with a famous name and baseball fan: Ignat Solzhenitsyn.
CHESTER — The Cavendish/Proctorsville Baseball League has announced that on Friday, April 6, at 7 p.m., world-renowned classical pianist Ignat Solzhenitsyn, an avid baseball fan and a Vermonter, will give a piano recital featuring works of Beethoven, Schubert and Prokofiev at the Green Mountain Union High School in Chester. One hundred percent of the proceeds of this concert will go toward welcoming baseball and softball back to Cavendish’s Greven Field by the end of this season. “We are delighted and thrilled that Mr. Solzhenitsyn has agreed to donate his recital for this wonderful
cause. The community is really uniting around this project, and all are excited at the major impact this performance will have in helping awareness and fundraising,” said Marion Brody, the head of the charity effort. Solzhenitsyn was saddened to learn about the level of devastation at Greven Field. “It’s a place where many of us Cavendish kids learned life-lessons about dedication, teamwork, and perseverance. It is a joy to be able to give something back through this recital, and to help push this wonderful project past the finish-line,” he said Last Aug. 28, the dugouts, equipment shed, snack shack, and playground were damaged beyond repair—in some cases, literally washed down the Black See CONCERT, page 9

Reward offered for Cross Street Bridge graffiti arrest lead Middlebury Select Board MIDDLEBURY – At a public meeting held in East Middlebury on March 22, Middlebury River Planning and Restoration Project Manager Amy Sheldon presented information about river science and channel evolution, as well as past and current efforts to mitigate flood hazards in the Middlebury River basin. Since November 2011, after Hurricane Irene, the Middlebury River Task Force has worked with state and federal permitting and regulatory agencies to develop an approach for managing the river that involves conducting an engineering analysis of the river and utilizing that information to develop recommendations for managing the river and infrastructure repairs and improvements designed to minimize
flood damage. The Task Force submitted several applications for grant funding for the analysis and was recently informed of that the Town's proposal was recommended for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding pending final approval of the proposal by the federal government. Once the report on the analysis and recommendations is complete, it will be used as the basis for applications for funding for infrastructure repairs and improvements and for permits for the recommended projects. Now that an approach and a funding source have been identified, the river planning effort is moving into its second phase: public input and information. The Select Board called for interested citizens to join the Task Force to assist in this effort. East Middlebury residents Bob Wells and Eric
Murray expressed interest and were appointed to the Task Force by the Board. Select Board member and East Middlebury resident Susan Shashok was also appointed to the Task Force. In related a related effort, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on proposed Flood/Fluvial Erosion Hazard Regulations at the East Middlebury Methodist Church on Monday, April 16, at 7 p.m. Business Development Fund The business development working group of five held its final meeting on March 15 and concluded its effort by submitting its recommendations for next steps and a timeline for the initiative going forward. The timeline includes appointing members of the five member advisory board in April, with organization, public outreach/input and finalizing the job descrip-

If the director search goes smoothly, the director would begin work in mid-fall, following the preliminary timeline.

The Board appointed Select Board member Nick Artim to the Advisory Board and nominated John Tenny to serve on the Advisory Board. The Board will act on John's nomination at its next meeting and will consider the College's recommendations for the Advisory Board at that meeting as well.

the apprehension of those responsible for the vandalism. Please report non-functioning streetlights to the Town Manager's Office, 3888100 ext. 202. Meeting highlights are courtesy of Kathleen Ramsay, Middlebury Assistant Town Manager.

Armed man forces closure of Route 7 NEW HAVEN — At about 5:20 p.m. on March 29, troopers from the New Haven State Police Barracks responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence on U.S. Route 7 in New Haven involving an intoxicated male with a firearm. Police determined that Thomas Jerome, 51, had been consuming alcohol and was in possession of a firearm. Jerome refused to cooperate with troopers at a New Haven mobile home and remained inside the residence with a rifle. The female involved in the disturbance was able to leave safely. Jerome had fired at least one round from the firearm in the early stages of the incident. He made numerous threats directed towards himself and police. Due to the proximity of nearby residences and possibility of public safety concerns, neighbors were evacuated and Route 7 was closed as a precaution. Additional assistance was requested from the Vergennes Police Department, Middlebury Police Department and the Bristol Police Department. Members from the VSP Tactical Support Unit and Hostage Negotiation Unit responded to the scene. The New Haven Fire Department closed Route 7 between
Route 17 and Town Hill Road. After more than seven hours of negotiations with Jerome, he was taken into protective custody and transported for an evaluation. No one was injured as a result of the incident. Route 7 was reopened at the conclusion of the incident. At this time, the subject has not been charged with a crime, however the case in under review by the Vermont Bureau of Criminal Investigations, in cooperation with the Addison County State's Attorney's Office. The case remains under investigation. Since the subject has not been arrested, at this time, no arrest processing photo was available by the Vermont State Police.
More funds for homeless Vermont vets WASHINGTON D.C. – Vermont’s congressional delegation, U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch, announced $153,000 in federal funds to provide permanent housing and support services to 25 homeless Vermont veterans. The funds will bring 25 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers to Vermont to cover the cost of qualifying rental apartments for homeless veterans. The vouch-
ers will allow veterans to move from homelessness or temporary shelter into more permanent housing. Today’s announcement brings the total number of VASH vouchers in Vermont to 120. Leahy said, “We train our men and women for service and supply them during conflict, and we owe them our continuing support when they return home.” “This assistance provides badly-needed housing for homeless veterans in Vermont. It is a national disgrace that one-sixth of the 650,000 Americans who are homeless on any given night are veterans,” said Sanders, a member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. “This is a step forward, but clearly more must be done to support the men and women who served this nation bravely and honorably.” Welch, one of the leaders in the House pushing for an increase in VASH vouchers to meet demand, said, "This assistance will make an incredible difference in the lives of Vermont veterans who have fallen on hard times. These brave men and women have stepped forward and put their lives on the line to defend our country and they deserve our full support.” The announcement is part of a $72.6 million nationwide push to provide permanent housing for more than 10,000 homeless veterans.

Home equity use: no I longer home equity abuse
R
ecord numbers of refinancing homeowners have stopped using their home equity as an ATM machine for withdrawals and instead are making more deposits. In the last quarter of 2011, a record 85 percent of homeowners who refinanced their first mortgage maintained the loan amount or lowered their principal balance by adding cash to the deal at closing, a 26year high, according to what is now dubiously called Freddie Mac's Cash-Out Refinance Analyses. It's a trend that reflects faith in the value of the home as an investment. When home values rebound, those who've maintained or improved their home value will be ahead of the game and enjoy exponential returns on home equity growth. Perhaps more aptly dubbed a cash-in refinancing study, Freddie Mac's report found a whopping 49 percent of refinancing homeowners actually reduced their principal balance, while 37 percent retained the same loan amount. In addition to the long term benefits, many of those homeowners are enjoying some immediate financial breathing room. “The typical borrower who refinanced reduced their interest rate by about 1.4 percentage points. On a $200,000 loan, that translates into saving $2,700 in interest during the next 12 months,” or about $225 a month, said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist. With home purchase mortgage rates and refinance rates at record levels, more and more homeowners are being prompted to take a hard look at cashing-in on their home equity, instead of cashing-out. Refinanced mortgages comprised 80 percent of all home loans the week ending Feb. 1, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). Homeowners are also protecting their refinanced investment by locking in their
20940
savings with fixed rate mortgages (FRMs) instead of riskier adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs). FRMs comprised more than 94 percent of the loans made for the week ending Feb. 1, according to MBA. “Savvy homeowners are taking advantage of some of the lowest fixed rates in more than 60 years to lock in interest savings,” said Nothaft. The average interest rate on 30-year fixed rate mortgages (FRMs) fell to a record low of 3.87 percent, for the week ending Feb. 2, according to Freddie Mac. The trend is a decided shift from the days when home equity became the "psychological equivalent of gold," and experts said one of the best way to use home equity was to move it into capital investments that provided an equal or greater return than home equity gain. Home improvements, education for the kids, new business finances, a second home and other financial moves can still be a good use for home equity - if you have it. Smart homeowners with little, if any equity, including underwater homeowners with negative equity, apparently are investing in their own home as an investment that's just as, well, capital. Freddie Mac said among the refinanced loans it analyzed, the median value change of the collateral property was a negative 4 percent over the median prior loan life of almost four years. In comparison, the Freddie Mac House Price Index shows about a 23 percent decline in its U.S. series between September 2007 and September 2011. That generally means borrowers who refinanced in the fourth quarter owned homes that had held their value better than the average home.

’m a 51-year-old guy with 51-yearold guy hearing.
In some situations my hearing is first rate and I hear very well: A bank teller, a talented minister preaching from the altar, wait staff, cat purrs, my lawn mower engine, a knife clicking against the bare wall of a peanut butter jar, a sock being pulled over a clean foot, and a B string a few bits flat or sharp. My hearing falters mostly when sounds compete. A voice at the other end of my cell phone can be a tough read if there are other sounds close by. It can be hard to hear words from a date, at a restaurant that isn’t particularly well sound proofed. If a person speaks softly and not clearly, even in a room with good acoustics, they can be hard to hear. But most alarming and age telling perhaps is the fact that quite often if I’m not looking directly at the person addressing me, I miss portions of their sentences. Yup, day by day by day more and more important body parts diminish. Par for the course of years gone by. You know something I do hear? Hand dryers in public restrooms. I’ll hear those on my deathbed if I’m 115, deaf, and a hundred miles form the nearest one. They’re loud those hand dryers. The new ones I mean. You know, the ones that turn a restful restroom experience into a dither with the most agonizingly grating 20 seconds of sound human kind has mustered since the invention of the jet engine. Actually, I’m not so sure those dryers aren’t powered by a jet engine. I’m not so sure if you broke one off a wall and bungeed it to the hood of your pick-up cab and popped your hand in front of it, that you and your truck wouldn’t take off and not stop till you reached the moon. (By the way, aren’t we supposed to have been pretty much moved in up there on the Moon by now, lock stock and Tang? Oh, that was Mars, yeah, I’m sorry, not the Moon, Mars) What’s up with those ultra annoying sound pukers anyway man? Who the heck came up with them, and what was the person thinking. “Here’s a machine that’ll dry a flooded river bed in 15 seconds, and
deafen anyone within 20 feet of it. Here’s the machine that’s loud enough that if you haven’t gone to the bathroom by the time it’s triggered, when it’s triggered, you will. Every restroom’s gotta have one. Yep.” Do you ladies have those new loud cussed machines in your restrooms? Or do you have paper towels, or the awful hanging linen towel thing, the one where the linen is attached from both ends up in the dispenser? The one I still haven’t figured out how to pull out more fresh linen from, so I end up half-heartedly drying my hands on the same patch of semi-soiled wrinkly wet cloth that seems to have been being used for days on hundreds of pairs of hands. Or ladies do you have an old air hand-dryer that really doesn’t have enough hot air pressure or heat to actually dry your hands, but, won’t make you barf from the viscous noise? The following list of things freak me out about those new loud as jet engine hand dryers: 1. The decibel level. 2. The extreme heat the machines dispense. 3. That I haven’t heard any one else mention even a word about how loud they are, or complain about them in anyway. 4. I’ve seen dudes stick their heads under the dispenser, taking the whole of the machines force, power, heat and sound, inches from their ear. What gets me most about the new loud hand dryers though? I never, I mean I never remember them, … until they go off, and then it’s too late, my serenity is blown. Remind me will you, if you see me in a restaurant, to hold it.

4-H horse show in Castleton, April 14 CASTLETON – More than 80 Vermont 4-H club members are expected to compete at the State 4-H Horse Hippology Contest, April 14, in Castleton. Spectators are welcome to attend the free event, which is co-sponsored by University of Vermont (UVM) Extension and Rutland County 4-H. The action gets underway at 9:30 a.m. at the Tedesco Stables at Angier Farm (on Route 4A) where the horse judging component of the competition will take place. At the conclusion of the judging, which consists of one halter and one performance class, the event will move to Castleton-Hubbardton Elementary School. Following lunch, the contestants will participate in a written test, actions (testing of cognitive and hands-on skills such as tack assembly, knot tying or balancing a feed ration) and identification stations. For the latter, they will be judged on their ability to identify tack and equipment, forages, horse breeds and origins and other equine-related items. The 4-Hers, 8 to 18, will be divided into groups based on age. Rosette ribbons will be awarded to the top scorers in each division through tenth place. All others will receive participation ribbons. The four highest scorers in the senior division, ages 14 years old and up, will earn a spot on the State 4-H Horse Hippology Team, which will compete at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Round-Up in Louisville, Ky. in November, against top teams from several other states. A separate senior novice division is open to any teen, 14 and older, who is either new to 4-H or a first-time participant in the state horse hippology contest.

Pavel Haas comes to Middlebury MIDDLEBURY — The Pavel Haas Quartet returns to Middlebury College’s Performing Arts Series on Friday, April 13, to play a full-bodied program featuring works by Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, and Schubert’s famous “Death and the Maiden” quartet. The concert is presented free and open to the public, thanks to the generous support of the Institute for Clinical Science and Art. This concert is part of a multi-year collaboration between the Performing Arts Series and the Institute for Clinical Science and Art, in which the Institute designates a high-profile concert to be offered for free. This gift to the Middlebury community is made in memory of F. William Sunderman Jr. and Carolyn Reynolds Sunderman. In October 2011 the Quartet was awarded not only the Chamber category award, but also the prestigious “Record of the Year” at the Gramophone Awards for its recent recording of Dvořák’s String Quartets No.12 in F major 'American' and No.13 in G major on Supraphon. The Pavel Haas Quartet has released four discs on the Supraphon label. Their most recent recording, a disc of Dvořák’s String Quartets, was released in autumn 2010 and won widespread critical acclaim. Based in Prague, the Quartet studied with Milan Skampa,
the legendary violist of the Smetana Quartet, and continues to enjoy a close relationship with him. The Quartet takes its name from the Czech composer Pavel Haas (1899–1944) who was imprisoned at Theresienstadt in 1941 and died tragically at Auschwitz three years later. His musical legacy includes three wonderful string quartets. Check It Out: The Pavel Haas Quartet concert will take place on Friday, April 13, at 8 p.m., at the Mahaney Center for the Arts, in the Concert Hall.

The S.S. Portland: The Titanic of New England Tragic sinking of the Portland with all hands
By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com April 15, 2012, will mark 100 years since the sinking of the British luxury ocean liner RMS Titanic. During this Titanic centennial year, a new 3D film version of Hollywood mogul James Cameron’s 1997 epic soap opera “Titanic” will be rereleased April 4, along with an IMAX version and an earlier Cameron IMAX Titanic-dive documentary. As the world remembers Titanic, we remember another maritime disaster that was closer to home, the sinking of the S.S. Portland on Nov. 26, 1898. While mostly forgotten today, this New England shipwreck was recalled by Congressional investigators of the disaster in 1912. Long known as the “Titanic of New England”, the wreck of the Portland off Cape Ann, Mass., took the lives of all of its 192 men, women and children. Akin to Titanic, there weren’t enough lifeboats for passengers and crew on the Portland. But as far as the loss of the Portland is concerned, swamped by the titanic waves of a New England megastorm, it is unlikely lifeboats would have helped. To landlubbers, the Portland looked like a lake or river steamer rather than an ocean-going vessel (Portland would have looked good cruising on Lake Champlain). But by the time of the Titanic disaster, a
mere 14 years later, the sidewheeler would have been a technological relic. Built by New England Shipbuilding Co. in Bath, Maine, in 1889, the wooden Portland was designed to be a sea-going shuttle between the ports of Boston and Portland. The tandem-funnel vessel weighed 2,283 gross tons, and was 280 feet in length, 42 feet at her beam. Up until the 1880s, ocean “sidewheelers” or paddle steamers were a popular design. Even the most infamous Atlantic disaster prior to the Portland’s sinking involved another U.S. paddle steamer, the loss of the S.S. Arctic in 1854 off Newfoundland. What caused the Portland to sink on the fateful morning of Nov. 27, 1898? While no eyewitness survived the Portland’s loss, it’s easy to figure out the culprit. A storm, now known as the Portland Gale in honor of the shipwreck, hammered New England during a 24hour period Nov. 26-27, 1898. The effects of this storm off the coast destroyed the sidewheeler with all hands aboard. And at its height, this mighty gale’s effects were felt as far west as Vermont. According to reports by meteorologists 100 years on, the hurricane-like storm was the result of a twin low-pressure phenomenon centered off the coast of Virginia. This low then tracked north, gathering strength, with the New England region in its crosshairs. At the peak of the infamous Portland Gale, the Massachusetts coast experienced a mammoth storm surge of over 10 feet with
S.S. Portland: “The Titanic of New England” sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1898. There were no survivors. Photos courtesy of the U.S. Maritime Administration
hurricane-force winds recorded on the island of Nantucket. Heavy snow fell along the coast and inland. But for the crew and passengers of the Portland, Nov. 26, 1898, began like any other day except for the extreme chill, a wintry mix in the air, and a rapidly falling barometer. At 7 p.m., Capt. Hollish Blanchard oversaw the paddle steamer as it left its familiar berth at India Wharf in downtown Boston. The skipper knew his route well as he commanded the vessel out into the dark open sea, in the direction of Portland, Maine. Shortly after departing
Boston, Capt. Blanchard ran headlong into the fury of the gale as the big ship steamed north, off Cape Ann. He must have known the Portland would confront heavy weather off the coast. Apparently, Capt. Blanchard had his hands full when the Portland was confronted by a mounting, violent sea coupled with an horizontal rain of salt spray and extremely low visibility. It is believed by some that the ship went down at 5:45 a.m. Nov. 27. This is based on sightings of a large ship off Thatcher ’s Island and the sound of a steamship distress whistle heard early in the morning. Capt. Blanchard, or so it appears today, fought bravely to keep the Portland upright and on
course for many hours. In the midst of this 19th century “perfect storm”, there would have been little chance of survival in the 6471 knot winds and violent waves, some cresting higher than a 10-story building. If ever there was a conjuror of Hell on Earth, the Portland Gale at sea was surely it. Excluding Capt. Blanchard and the other deaths aboard the Portland, the megastorm of 1898 killed 407 persons. Its tsunami-like waves and coastal surge sank 158 boats and ships, possibly more. According to a Boston newspaper account on the day following the storm, “Miles of coastline from Buzzards Bay to Cape Ann are strewn with wreckage. A

blanket of numbed sadness smothers coastal New England this morning.” Only 36 bodies from the Portland were ever recovered on nearby beaches. Many claim wind-up wristwatches on some of the victims were stopped at 9:15. If true, was it 9:15 a.m. or p.m.? We’ll never know. It wasn’t until 2002 that the submerged wreck of the Portland was located. Using data generated by the American Underwater Search and Survey a few years earlier, a survey vessel located the soggy remains of the Portland. High resolution images of the wreck were taken to confirm its identity. Debris fields, akin to the Titanic’s, were found. The items included porcelain dishes, cups, and passenger personal effects. Today, located seven miles off Massachusetts, the site of the sunken Portland is a lonely, cold grave for what little remains of the ship and its 192 passengers and crew. Other wrecks, victims of earlier New England gales, rest nearby. Located well within U.S. waters, the Portland wreck was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

Bridport farm wins dairy award for sustainability By Stephanie Horton
BRIDPORT — Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport is one of only three farms throughout the country that has been chosen for the Elanco Award for Outstanding Dairy Farm Sustainability. This achievement is a result of Blue Spruce Farm’s commitment and dedication to reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The farm was awarded at a special ceremony in Washington D.C. The U.S. Dairy Sustainability Awards is a program that recognizes dairy farms, dairy companies and collaborative partnerships for efforts that advance the sustainability of the dairy industry. Since the farm’s start in 1958, the Audet family has put an emphasis on caring for natural resources and the environment. As the largest employer in Bridport, the Audets strive to increase their labor and energy efficiency, provide the best
in cow health and comfort and produce the highest quality milk for their farmer-owned Cabot cheese brand. “I am so proud to receive this award on behalf of our family. It is a public affirmation of our desire to produce quality milk, in a way that is good for our animals, good for the environment and good for our community,” said Marie Audet, a member of the Audet family who own and operates Blue Spruce farm with her husband, Eugene. “We love our jobs. We love our families, and we are passionate about our animals, land and resources.” Today, Blue Spruce Farm is admired as a pioneer in operational efficiency. It was one of the first farms in the country to install a variable speed vacuum pump control, reducing energy used during milking by nearly 60 percent, and is probably best known for being the first dairy to participate in Central Vermont Public Service’s ground-breaking Cow Power program, which allows consumers to purchase renewable energy generated on dairy farms.
By implementing new technologies in lighting, milking, milk cooling, barn construction, ventilation and water heating, the farm has significantly reduced energy use and greenhouse gas emissions over the years. “As early pioneers of operational efficiency, Blue Spruce Farm continues to lead the way and has been a model for the future of sustainable farming across the country,” said Erin Fitzgerald, senior vice president of sustainability for the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, which was founded by dairy producers. “We are inspired by their commitment to continuous improvement.” The Audet family has been a role model for other farmers, not only for Vermont, but for communities across the country for many years. Blue Spruce Farm was recognized with the Gov. Jim Douglas’ Award for Environmental Excellence in 2006. Other Blue Spruce awards include Vermont’s Sustainable Agriculture Farm of the Year, Conservation Farmer of the Year and Farm Bureau Family of the Year.
Vergennes Lions donate to Special Olympics VERGENNES – The Vergennes Lions Club welcomed and presented a check to Addison County Special Olympics athlete John Hutchins and S.O. Program Coordinator Jim Wacker at a recent dinner meeting at the American Legion Post 14 in Vergennes. John Hutchins described his decade long involvement in swimming; he emphasized the importance of athletic competition and building friendships through Special Olympics in Addison County. Coordinator Jim Wacker spoke of the thrills of competition for special needs athletes that match athletes with similar abilities. Special Olympics in Addison County is growing, with more than 50 active athletes participating in soccer, bowling, bocce ball, skiing, snowshoeing, swimming, basketball, and track and field practices and competition all year around. Wacker thanked the club for its volunteer and financial support over the past decade. He also called on Lions Club members to consider volunteer coaching or mentoring a local athlete. The Vergennes Lions Club is a sponsor of the Addison Special Olympics program and donated a check for $600 to defray the cost of winter games this year at Suicide Six near Woodstock.
Jim Wacker, Special Olympics program coordinator and John Hutchins, Special Olympics athlete, were joined by Kitty Oxholm of the Vergennes Lions Club during a recent check presentation.

Arrests made in Melissa Jenkins murder From Staff & News Reports
newmarketpress@denpubs.com ST. JOHNSBURY — During the morning of March 28, the Vermont State Police released a statement during a press conference with Major Ed Ledo, Criminal Division commander of the Vermont State Police, regarding a significant development in the investigation into the death of Melissa Jenkins. Detectives with the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation, with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, St. Johnsbury Fire Department, Hardwick Police Department, Caledonia County Sheriff's Department, St. Johnsbury Academy, and the Vermont Army National Guard, conducted an aggressive investigation into the death of Melissa Jenkins. Following investigative leads, evidence collected from the crime scenes, and information obtained through interviews, the Vermont State Police made two arrests earlier this
Obama from page 1 Burlington area for several hours, headed directly to the campus of the University of Vermont. There the President spoke at 1:30 to students and faculty about a variety of national and academic issues followed by a late lunch at the Sheraton Hotel for his reelection campaign. After the luncheon, the motorcade returned the President to the airport. After spending nearly four hours in the Burlington area, the President was back in Washington, D.C. in time for dinner. Vermont GOP leader Jack Lindley complained earlier in the week that the President's fund-raising trip was nothing more than a campaign trip, will be a burden on local taxpayers. Lindley said police departments plan to pass on the cost of increased Presidential protection and traffic control here to local taxpayers.
morning. Vermont State Police arrested Allen Prue, age 30, and Patricia Prue, age 33; both of Waterford, Vermont, for second degree murder and improper disposal of a body. Additional charges may be forth coming as this investigation continues to unfold, as coordinated with the Caledonia County State's Attorney's Office. Both subjects were processed at the St. Johnsbury Barracks, and the arrest processing photos are attached. Both Allen and Patricia Prue were lodged at the Northeast Correctional Facility in St. Johnsbury and are being held without bail. The arraignment is scheduled for March 28 at Caledonian Criminal Court. It was determined by the Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Steven Shapiro that the cause of Jenkins' death was the result of strangulation. Allen and Patricia Prue are married. They knew Jenkins and had snowplowed her driveway a couple of years ago. Investigation determined this was an isolated inci-
dent. “We are grateful for all of the assistance and support from cooperating agencies, the community, and the press while we investigated this case," said Maj. Ed Ledo. "Our efforts in this case are not complete, as there is still much work to be done; however we hope these arrests help bring some closure to the family and friends of Melissa Jenkins. Members of the Crime Scene Search Team executed a search warrant at the Prue residence last night and will continue throughout the day. The scene was secured over night. The dedicated men and women of the Vermont State Police and the FBI assigned to this investigation played a vital role in how quickly Ms. Jenkins' body was found and the preservation of evidence which ultimately resulted in the apprehension of the Prues." Detectives are still interested in speaking with anyone who may have information regarding this case and should call the St. Johnsbury Barracks at 802-748-3111 or submit a secure and anonymous tip on line.

Vt. Folklife Center plans summer institute MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Folklife Center ’s Summer Institute, Discovering Community: Students, Digital Media, and Place-Based Learning, brings together educators for an intensive five-day program June 25–29 in Middlebury. The institute offers participants basic hands-on experience learning the methods of community-based research, the process of making a mini documentary, and the skills of working with digital media in a school setting. Past participants have come from a broad spectrum of roles in the K-16 system, including classroom teachers, special educators, librarians, and administrators. This diversity makes group process a rich opportunity to explore ideas, probe models, and collabora-
tively visualize site-appropriate applications. Over the course of an action-packed week, Discovering Community participants work with cultural researchers, media specialists, and fellow educators to explore the power of ethnographic field research and techniques for working with digital audio, video, and photography as documentary tools. Using the Middlebury community as a classroom, Discovering Community models simple strategies for deepening students’ relationships to their own hometowns. The Discovering Community Summer Institute builds on the Vermont Folklife Center ’s many years partnering with educators on community-based projects, the ever expanding array of digital tools with recording
THE
capabilities, and the do-it-yourself editing and production opportunity that digital technology affords. Three graduate credits are available Castleton State College upon completion of this course. Stories and storytelling are at the center of this experience, and as one participant observed, “The personal gain of realizing that there are millions of stories in our own backyards that are ten times more interesting than People Magazine is something that I will cherish.” For registration, tuition, or other information about the Discovering Community Summer Institute and our nationally recognized faculty go to www.discoveringcommunity.org. You can also contact us at 802388-4964 or info@vermontfolklifecenter.org.

Concert from page 1 River. Fencing was lifted and twisted beyond use, and the Green Monster, a focal piece of Greven Field, was partially destroyed. Our baseball equipment was lost. The infield was torn apart. Enjoying an active career as both conductor and pianist, Solzhenitsyn's musical interpretations have won him critical acclaim throughout the world. Solzhenitsyn has frequently appeared at international festivals. He is a winner of various awards and is conductor laureate of the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, principal guest conductor of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, and professor of piano at the Curtis Institute of Music. The concert is being generously underwritten by the Cavendish Community Fund and Newsbank Inc. All are invited to come hear some great music and to support this worthy cause on Friday, April 6. Tickets (adults—$25; students—$20) may be purchased at the locations listed below and at the door, if not sold out. Contributions are welcome by e-mailing to cavendishbaseball@gmail.com, or sending checks made out to “CPBL” to: Cavendish Proctorsville Baseball League, P.O. Box 465, Cavendish, Vt. 05142.
‘Harp & Soul’ visits Leceister, Lincoln schools LEICESTER — The Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s “Harp and Soul” harp and flute duo presented performances at schools in Leicester and Lincoln last week. Support for the day was provided by the Hensel Fund and an anonymous Addison County donor. The VSO’s traveling ensembles visit all corners of the state as part of an outreach program known as Musicians-in-theSchools. Flutist Anne Janson and harpist Heidi Soons visited the schools as the duo Harp and Soul. Different instruments were demonstrated. The musicians performed some familiar music and talk about how their instruments are used in orchestral music. A question and answer period followed. The performances were part of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s statewide SymphonyKids education program, which reached over 30,000 schoolchildren last year with 248 presentations for 199 schools in 168 different communities. Harp and Soul appeared in two Addison County schools March 27. VSO photo
