MONKTON — Monkton residents turned out in high numbers on Town Meeting Day and cast their ballots for a town flag that will be dedicated on June 24, the 250th founding celebration of the town.

Residents were instructed to vote for their top three flags from the five finalists or for just one if they had a strong favorite.

The winning flag was designed by Linda Reynolds, a Mt. Abraham Union High School art teacher who has been teaching for 34 years. Her design which depicts Monkton’s distinctive landscape of farm fields, pond and hills garnered seventy per cent of the first choice vote.

“If you tally everybody’s choices for each flag, nearly 89 per cent of the voters cast a vote for the winning flag. I’m amazed and thrilled that we came together so decisively around a single flag,” said Jonathan Corcoran who organized the contest for the Monkton Community Coffeehouse.

“I was also struck at the level of participation; more than two-thirds of the people who voted on Town Meeting Day took part in the voting for the flag.”

All 34 flags that were entered into the contest will be posted to the Monkton Community Coffeehouse’s Facebook page and website (www.monktoncc.org) as well as to the Monkton Talk website (www.monktontalk.org) for viewing.

Residents and friends of Monkton can pre-order their own copy of the winning Monkton flag.

105-year-old makes a dream come true

By Sarah Ray

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — College students across the country are once again being challenged to design and undertake “Projects for Peace” around the world, thanks to philanthropist Kathryn W. Davis.

Now 105 years “young”, Davis launched Projects for Peace on the occasion of her 100th birthday in 2007 and has renewed her commitment every year since. In 2012, nearly $1.25 million will be awarded in $10,000 grants to students submitting the winning proposals for projects to be completed this summer.

Davis is eager for motivated young people to come up with effective building blocks for peacebuilding in the world, and she is providing the money to make their plans a reality. Projects that address conflict resolution and reconciliation, foster understanding, provide opportunity, and build community are among the many successful endeavors to date.

Undergraduates at all of the 94 partner schools of the Davis United World College Scholars Program (see www.davisuwcscholars.org), as well as those at International Houses Worldwide, Future Generations, and the Graduate Institute in Geneva, are invited annually to submit plans for Projects for Peace. Winning pro-

posals selected from competitions at all these campuses are funded through Davis’ generosity.

“Competition is keen and we congratulate the students whose projects have been selected for funding in 2012,” said Philip O. Geier, executive director of the Davis United World College Scholars Program, which administers Projects for Peace.

“Kathryn Davis feels a great urgency about advancing the cause of peace in the world, and she is investing in motivated youth and their ideas in order to accelerate efforts for peace in the 21st century.”

Of the 16 proposals submitted

by Middlebury College students, two were awarded funding. Sydney Alfonso, a member of the Middlebury class of 2012, will travel to Turkey to pursue her project, “The International Jewelry Fund Pilot Program.” Said Alfonso, “My goal is to improve the living conditions of low-income Turkish women as well as women within the migrant Kurdish community. The project will help them to manufacture their handcrafted jewelry and promote it to international markets.” Alfonso created the International Jewelry Fund (IJF), a licensed corporation that is a fusion of a nonprofit and for-profit business, after she returned home from studying abroad in Turkey, importing See PHILANTHROPIST, page 9

MIDDLEBURY — Ilsley Public Library Board of Trustees chairwoman, Sandra Carletti, announced that David Clark, library director, will retire March 15, 2013.

“The Town of Middlebury has been fortunate to have David Clark as Library Director” said Carletti, speaking for the Board. “Over the last 16 years, David has approached all aspects of library operations with confidence, a high-level of competence and a desire to provide excellent library services for the Middlebury community and beyond.”

Clark began his career in 1973 in Harford County Public Library in Maryland, then worked in Telford, Pa., and finally as a regional librarian for the Vermont Department of Libraries before assuming his current position in 1996.

The trustees will appoint a selection committee to find a new director.

Amex: Mixed news 31 Hannaford students in honor society for Vermont women NEW YORK, N.Y. — Vermont overall has an estimated 21,800 women-owned firms, employing 13,300 and attributing to roughly $1.9 billion, according to the State of Women-Owned Businesses Report, commissioned by American Express Open, a comprehensive study released last week analyzing data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Similar to the first report released this time last year, the unique analysis, reported by industry, revenue and employment size at the national, state and top 25 metropolitan levels, shares a new and nuanced investigation into the growth trends among the 8.3 million womenowned enterprises over the past 15 years.

Nationally, the number of women-owned businesses has increased by 54 percent since 1997. Vermont is ranked 45 of 50 (28.0 percent) in growth of number of firms over the past 15 years and ranked 42 of 50 (43.5 percent) in growth of firm revenue between 1997 and 2012.

Other key findings in the report pertaining to Vermont include: •Vermont is one of five states at the bottom of the list with the least combined economic clout for womenowned firms. •While employment nationally rose 8.8 percent from 1997 to 2012, it actually declined by -1.7 percent in Vermont making it one of 10 states that saw employment decline over this period. •The state’s percentage change in sales (43.5 percent) is less than the national average (57.7 percent).

Bristol teen had marijuana, alcohol CORNWALL — A Vermont State Police trooper conducted a motor-vehicle stop involving driver Brittany Hathorn, 18, of Bristol for speeding.

Hathorn was traveling at 57 mph in a 35 mph zone, on Swamp Road in Cornwall.

During the stop, the teen was found to be in possession of alcohol and marijuana.

She was processed at the New Haven State Police Barracks and subsequently released with a citation to appear at the Addison Criminal Division for Possession of Marijuana. The possession of alcohol was a civil violation.

Conscripting Vermont: The Civil War draft

Featuring Prom Gowns from: Mary’s ~ Faviana ~ Alyce ~ Mori Lee For the Wedding Party: Tuxedos • Gowns for the Bride, Bridesmaids, Mother, Flower Girl As well as Invitations, Veils, Jewelry Shoes & More

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com C A S T L E TO N — C a s t l e ton State College historian Dr. Andre Fleche has spent years studying the Civil War and its complex causes and outcomes.

At an April 7 lecture at the Vermont-New York Slate Valley Museum in Granville, he discussed how the military draft, starting in 1863, affected communities across the fourteenth state. Fleche is the author of the critically acclaimed book about the Civil War, titled “The Revolution of 1861”.

The Confederate States of America instituted a draft a year before the United States forced a draft.

Starting in 1862, the CSA government required men, ages 18 to 35, to serve for three years.

Later, as the South realized it was losing the war, men ages 17 to 50 were drafted. However, substitutions were permitted and many men of wealthy southern stock took advantage of the loophole.

In the North, the Militia Act of 1862 first gave President Lincoln the power to raise nearly a half a million men, for up to nine months service. But this quasi draft was conducted through state governments. Not until the Draft Act of 1863 was mass service compulsory in the North.

“In 1861, Lincoln responded to the shelling of Fort Sumter by calling for 75,000 state militiamen to come forward and suppress the rebellion. In issuing his request, the president sought to fight the ensuing Civil War by relying on

Unlike neighboring New Yorkers, Vermonters were compliant when it came to federal military draft. Draft Week violence in New York City resulted in 150 deaths.

America’s tradition of voluntarism and civilian service,” according to Fleche.

“Though he had a professional military at his disposal, the pre-war army was a tiny institution, consisting of a handful of undermanned regiments scattered about at forts and posts across the country.”

Fleche noted that antebellum Americans–North and South–disliked standing armies. The sentiment dated back to the Colonial era.

“For defense, they preferred to rely on their state militias, whose members assembled a few weekends per year to drill. In an emergency, it was believed, they would gladly leave their shops, offices, and farms, and pick up their muskets in defense of the republic.”

But that was not the case by 1862.

As casualties mounted after the bloody Battle of Shiloh in 1862, patriotic fervor seemed to vanish overnight; volunteers vanished.

According to Fleche, the Town of Castleton, like so many others across Vermont and elsewhere in the Union, complied with state and federal law.

“The selectmen kept a militia enrollment roster, which could be used in the event of a draft. They made yearly additions to the list as young men came of age and others moved into town.”

Fleche pointed out that selectman removed the names of all men who were no longer living in Castleton from the draft rolls.

“In late 1864, State Adjutant and Inspector General Peter T. Washburn issued General Order 2, in which he laid out specific instructions for keeping the rolls.

He commanded the selectmen to draw a red line through the names of residents who had turned 45 or who had died.”

Washburn also requested lists of men who had been drafted or who were exempt, such as Congressmen

and other individuals.

While Vermonters seemed resigned to obey the draft, New Yorkers were divided. In addition to New York City, other Northern cities, with their thousands of working- class families, were hotbeds of anti-draft unrest and violence.

The New York City draft riot, known as “Draft Week”, in July 1863 became the nation’s most violent civil unrest action, aside from the war. As many as 150 civilians were killed during the week of insurrection. And America wouldn’t again see such anti-draft sentiment until the Vietnam War in the 1960s.

The day I became a conservative

By Warren Cole Smith The Globe

I

t was the fall of 1981. The United States was coming out of a recession. Ronald Reagan had been president since January.

Among his first acts in the White House had been to dramatically cut spending for social programs.

And the woman sitting next to me on an airplane was not happy about it.

I was sitting on the aisle, and she had the window. She worked for an organization called Camp Fire Girls, now called Camp Fire USA, and she couldn’t stand Ronald Reagan. I wanted to know why. She described an after-school program she ran that served hundreds of poor children. I remember thinking then that it sounded like a worthwhile endeavor. The program had received about $100,000—almost its entire budget—from the federal government.

Reagan had eliminated that funding.

In 1981 I was a young man whose thinking was in a state of transition. In 1976 I had voted for Jimmy Carter, but in 1980 I pulled the lever for Reagan, in part because I thought Carter had shown general incompetency regarding economic matters. I had graduated from college in 1980, in the midst of the Carter Recession. I then spent more than a year in a series of part-time and temporary jobs, all the while looking for full-time employment. I had voted for Reagan not so much because I was a conscious part of the “Reagan Revolution,” but because—like many who voted for Barack Obama in 2008—I was hoping for change.

So when this Camp Fire Girl leader started railing against Reagan, I offered no defense. “That’s terrible,” I said. “Sorry that program got eliminated. What do you do now?”

“Oh,” she said. “I still run the program.”

I was confused. “I thought you said Reagan eliminated the program,” I said.

“We weren’t going to give him the satisfaction,” she said defiantly. “So we started raising money.”

She described how local corporations pitched in. Plus, lots of individuals. They held fund-raisers. They even asked the parents whose daughters participated in the program to pay a little, to give them a stake in what was being accomplished. As she told this story, I could hear the excitement and pride rising in her voice. She said the after-school program now had a budget of almost $250,000, more twice what the federal government had cut. It was serving more girls than ever. In fact, she said she was on her way to speak at a conference to discuss the program’s success.

“Well,” I said, emboldened by her story to make a feeble See SMITH, page 5

Wednesday, 9:45 a.m.: East of Cumbies, the Lamoille Senior Center and Meals on Wheels dispatch. I pick up 19 meals, one quart of milk and two boxes of groceries.

Odometer reading 31,249.

9:52, Stop 1: yellow trailer, guessing 70 year-old man. Son’s visiting, talking on the phone. Older man offers a “thank you,” with cigarette smoker voice of a carnival barker with strep throat. He harkens the great acting teacher William Hickey in the film “Prizzi’s Honor.” Trailer is dark, packed with stuff; many family photos dress the walls. Son’s using a battery operated wall phone.

9:55, Stop 2: Yellow trailer, nobody home. A nice man lives there, 62 or so. He’s a talker, put you behind schedule, careful. Daughter’s 30ish, in a wheelchair, and their black lab who always brings me his toy. I leave 2 meals in fridge. Stuffed calico cat lying on video machine wears large pink bunny ears headdress.

10:03, Stop 3: An 80-year-old man I’ve known since I was ten. He started receiving meals while recuperating from heart surgery. I pass him working with his tractor and chain lifting something out of the bed of his pickup. He waves. Small apartment is messy but clean, runs on an outdoor wood burning central boiler he cuts and splits all the wood for. His heart is healed.

10:10, Stop 4: A 97 year-old farmer has lived in the house for 95 years. He sits to the left of the entry door and always greets me with a subtle but hearty, “Well there he is.”

How’s he doing?

“Too damn old. Go from chair to chair.”

He sleep in a bed?

“Sometimes.”

His face is round, he’s short if he stands, his skin and bone structure remind me of my dad’s; two vibrant nonagenarians. I heard from someone in town that he has a glass eye. When he looks at you straight on, which he does when you speak, not when he does, through his coke bottle lenses, it’s hard to tell for sure, but something does seem a bit askew regarding the commonality of his eyes. This cute man, sitting in his chair in his house of 95 years, is barefooted.

He still drive a tractor?

“Probably not safe.” He shakes his head side to side.

He could, eh?

“Yes.” He shakes his head up and down.

Well, hope the meal is good. See you next week.

“Have fun,” he says, as I bring the front door closed.

10:19, Stop 5: Short steep driveway has little turnaround room. Artist lady isn’t home. I leave meal in fridge that is stocked like Costco. As per rules (never leave food out, it could go bad when eaten and could make the client sick), I’ll bring her quart of skim milk back to Meals headquarters because there is no room in the fridge.

20940

10:22, Stop 6: Cannot explain how messy house is. Folks live this way, in squalor basically, and that’s fine, I’m sure.

Looking curious among and in the middle of the mess is a 35-pound bag of grain. I shove meal atop many uneaten meals in sketchy fridge 10:25: I stop and buy a sandwich and eat as I drive. I don’t drive and text. I don’t text, period.

10:32, Stop 7: A 60 year-old guy I’ve known for years. He’s had serious back problems that led him to use strong pills. He seems mostly better now. Lives with his ma, but neither are home, unless they’re in their bedrooms. I leave 2 warm, and 4 frozen meals in fridge. Good-sized kitchen counter is littered with packages of food and some fruit. Also on the counter?

A shopping list; eggs, butter, milk, oranges, pork chops, and more.

10:40, Stop 8: Farm couple, been married more than 70 years, no kidding. House is clean as an ICU. The farm wife is sitting at the kitchen table as I walk in after my knock and announcement “Meals on Wheels.”

I’m greeted with a smile and hello as I place the meals on her spit-shined table.

I note: “Meal looks good. This covered cellophane cup is a desert, but I don’t know what it is.”

She beams. “I do, it’s on the menu.” Farmers are subtle, and sharp.

10:45, Stop 9: I walk in. “Meals on Wheels!” Place meal under sign that says “Meals on Wheels, here.”

Don’t worry about the fridge rule; someone retrieves the meal right away. Just as I’m opening the door to exit, a dog barks twice, then a pause, then as I exit, from the far end of the house I hear the ladies son“thank-you.” It’s exactly the same, every time.

10:50, Stop 11: Skipped writing about tenth stop, running out of space. “The Alamo”, a HUD apartment building. Folks pay percentage of their income. I have three deliveries here. Two ladies after I knock say, “Just a minute.” Then each opens their door a tiny bit, and once they see me they open it all the way and take the meal. The third lady is more secure. She and one of the others get the boxes of food. I think all three have ladies have cats.

11:20 a.m.: Arrive back at Meals H.Q., Odometer reads 31,230.

Meals on Wheels provide nourishment, security, and connection. I like doing it. Alot. Perhaps a route fits into your schedule?

Trouble ahead for Brandon Plaza

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com BRANDON — The controversial 17.6-acre Brandon Plaza shopping center project was dealt a blow by an environmental judge this week.

Judge Thomas G. Walsh of the Vermont Environmental Court ruled that the Brandon Development Review Board wasn’t presented with all the “facts” when it initially approved the go ahead of developer William McCabe’s Hannaford shopping plaza project in 2010.

At the time, DRB found no problems with the plaza meeting the stern requirements of Act 250.

The shopping center, to be located off U.S. Route 7 and Nickerson Road, adjacent to the recently reengineered portion of the highway, includes a large, anchor Hannaford Supermarket as well as retail spaces and a large parking lot.

Two planned entrances to the plaza permit access from Route 7 and Nickerson Road.

Two years ago, the DRB initially ok’ed the grocery store with some size changes to McCabe’s original plan.

However, a group of residents appealed the decision triggering the legal fight.

VEC’s Walsh ruled that the shopping center doesn’t meet several local and state land requirements.

While not stated directly in Walsh’s ruling, the plan is now expected to be returned to the DRB for review to decide upon a conditional use permit based on the VEC ruling.

The original, planned autumn 2012 opening of the plaza is now unlikely.

Smith from page 1 defense, “it sounds like Ronald Reagan was the best thing that ever happened to that program.”

She became indignant, pointing out how many more students they could be serving with the government money plus all this new money.

“Yes, but would you have gone after the new money if you didn’t have to?” I asked. “Didn’t those cuts provide the motivation?”

“We were planning to start raising money anyway,” she affirmed. “Those cuts had nothing to do with it.”

I was unconvinced. I was raised in the South, where rural wisdom teaches that “fixin’ to do something” and actually doing it are two different things. In fact, there’s an old riddle that goes like this: Q: There’s five frogs on a log and one of them decides to jump. How many frogs are left?

A: Five. Because deciding to jump ain’t the same as actually jumping.

Today I am more convinced than ever that Reagan’s cuts likely had everything to do with that woman and her colleagues finding the motivation to go out and find the money. But more than that, those cuts—and what happened next—gave all involved in the process a sense of dignity, empowerment, and self-determination.

I could clearly hear it in this woman’s story and in the very tone of her voice, though ironically she could not.

Over the years I have often thought about this chance encounter on an airplane, and today I consider that meeting as the day I became a fiscal conservative. It’s the day I discovered that economics is not just about math; it’s about motivation. Debits, credits, ledgers, and spreadsheets matter, but so do determination and leadership. Sound, moral economic policy must take the foibles and folly of a fallen human nature into account, and must have human dignity—an understanding that we are all made in the image of God—as its goal. It took me years to be able to describe that lesson in this way, but I am convinced that it was on that day in 1981 that I first learned it.

All these years later, I have no idea where that Camp Fire Girl is, but if I did I might ask her to sit around the campfire with me and eat a s’more (if they still do that sort of thing) so I could shake her hand and say “thank you.”

Local librarian on TV MIDDLEBURY — Sarah Lawton of the Ilsley Public Library in Middlebury shared favorite book titles on WCAX channel 3 TV’s Across the Fence April 9, the first day of National Library Week.

“National Library Week is a great chance to talk about the books we love and to highlight the services that public libraries provide to Vermont communities,” Lawton said. “In addition to helping readers find great books, public libraries are the best place to learn about technology, download free eBooks and get connected with community programs.”

She was joined by Amy Howlett of the Vermont Department of Libraries.

The books discussed are on display in the library at 75 Main St. in Middlebury.

NEW BUSINESS — The new Edward Jones office in downtown Vergennes held an open house and grand opening celebration. It was well attended by many of Aaron Robertson's new and prospective clients. Edward Jones was founded by Edward D. Jones in Missouri in 1922.

Jones’ son Ted Jones was responsible for the business’s current individual branch network which has spread across the U.S. and Canada.

Guest Viewpoint

Life is good As each year passes that I live in Addison County, I appreciate, more and more, what a truly wonderful, unique community we live in.

I have lived here, as a full-time resident, for 28 years and have been a parttime resident for all of my 55 years.

On March 19, the first of our incredible stretch of 79-plus degree days, I took my bike out for the first ride of the season. I was in mid-summer attire as I rode down to my favorite Lake Dunmore loop at around 3:40 in the afternoon. I had enough time for three loops and home before the Sun would set. The lake looked like late March, except the ice was already gone, and the air felt like June.

My classic route takes me down route 53 until I get to the Fernville, then Fern Lake road cutoff that takes me around Fern lake and down to Leceister Four Corners and Route 7.

I was just getting set to turn right on route 7 to travel back to the beginning of Route 53, and my second loop. With about 35 yards to go, before the intersection, I checked over my left shoulder for traffic behind me.

I saw none and turned my attention quickly back to the turn ahead.

In a flash there was pain and shock as I was struck from behind by an automobile. I never saw the vehicle that hit me and sent me crashing to the pavement.

I've been sideswiped by vehicles com-

ing way to close before and I've gone down before. This time was different. I didn't have the split-second chance to make the slight adjustment, which is crucial in minimizing the injury from the impending fall.

I landed hard on my left, fracturing that hip and smashing my left elbow into many displaced pieces.

I lay in stunned agony but, the people of this fine community were about to give me the aid and support that will forever leave me feeling nothing but, love and gratitude.

The operator of the vehicle stopped immediately and jumped out to come to my assistance. He tried to move me off the road but, even though I was less than two feet from the right edge, I couldn't move.

Within minutes, the Brandon Rescue Squad arrived. They didn't even have to lift or roll me, which would have been very painful. They used their expertise in using their split stretcher to gather me from both sides.

Once on that solid surface they were able to put me on the rolling platform and gently place me in the ambulance.

From there chief Andy Jackson stood by me, doing all the necessary checks, until we arrived at Porter Hospital. Andy and his crew were nothing but, the best.

At Porter Hospital I got to see, first hand, how fantastic that hospital is for a town of any size. These incredible professionals are our neighbors.

Immediately the emergency room head of operations, Dr. Fred Kniffin, saw me. Quickly it was off to X-ray.

Fred called in orthopedic surgeon Ben

Rosenberg, who was attending, a meeting for youth Lacrosse, after working a full day. He evaluated my broken left side and said he could do surgery on both my arm and leg that night.

It was a three plus hour operation.

Meaning Dr. Rosenberg and probably his team put in something like a 20 hour day. Ending with the most difficult task of piecing my elbow back together.

By 1:15 a.m. I was in recovery.

My stay at Porter lasted until Friday due to the complications of not having the use of either arm or leg. One by itself would have been much easier. During those three plus days I missed the record warm weather, but I was blessed with the fantastic warmth and caring of the Porter professionals.

From the nurses: Molly, Robin, Karen, Pat, Jamie, Brenda and more, to the crack Physical Therapy team of Director Dayton Contros, Joe, Craig and Tracy I say a heartfelt thank you so much for taking such incredible care of me.

After feeling sure I was ready to embark on the road to recovery Dr. Ben and Dr. Trina gave me the ok to go home.

I ask all my good fellow citizens to pay close attention when driving.

Please, give cyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians the same wide berth, when passing, that they would give to another human in another auto.

I'll be OK. Life is good in Addison County.

Farm Bill would increase cost of milk From Staff & News Reports

M O N T P E L I E R — Ve r mont’s congressional delegation — U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) and Rep. Peter Welch (D) — has introduced legislation to extend a U.S. taxpayer-funded safety net that helps dairy farmers ride out downturns in milk prices.

Without action, the legislative trio claim, dairy farmers could face a severe drop in support from the MILC safety net by Sept 1.

The MILC Continuation

Act of 2012 would extend for one year the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program at current support levels, which helps dairy farmers when the price of milk falls below $16.94 per hundredweight. Once triggered, farmers receive 45 percent of the difference between that price and the current price of milk, which also takes into account feed costs as a factor in triggering program payments.

The Farm Bill, which authorizes many programs under the purview of the U.S. Department of Agriculture,

including the dairy safety net, is set to expire Oct. 1.

For the last month of the Farm Bill, after Aug. 31, the MILC program support levels for dairy farmers drop significantly. That would leave dairy farmers exposed without a sufficient safety net.

Although the delegation is committed to passing a Farm Bill with dairy reforms this year, with prospects for that bill uncertain, this legislation would ensure there is no lapse in the safety net for dairy farmers.

Welch, a member of the

U.S. House Agriculture Committee, said, “Vermont’s dairy farmers are hard-working and resilient.

They have endured bad weather, high energy prices and low milk prices. What they cannot endure is the loss of this vital safety net.

However Congress proceeds, it has to ensure dairy farmers are not left stranded.”

When milk prices plunged in 2009, the MILC program was a critical lifeline for many Vermont dairy farmers.

Rutland Southwest schools remain closed Strike began April 4

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com POULTNEY — Schools in the Rutland Southwest Supervisory Union will remain closed for at least the week and possibly longer, according to Vermont-NEA officials.

Teachers and supporters went on strike April 4 from schools in Poultney, Middletown Springs, Tinmouth, and Wells.

The two sides involved in the dispute agreed on a 10.5 percent average pay increase and that there would be no increase in teacher health care contributions for the first two years of the contract, However, both sides could not agree on work rules.

Vermont-NEA officials told reporters that work rules that the supervisory union was advocating outdated by three decades. Teachers want preparation time for class to be during the teaching day, not after students leave the schools for home. They prefer to have students nearby during prep time.

The supervisory union released a public statement April 4 which said, “school boards want to give the administrators the flexibility to set teacher work schedules and assign them duties in a manner that will best meet the needs of students.”

Approximately 65 teachers are involved in the strike.

Philanthropist from page 1 bracelets from women who had worked as vendors on the street where she had lived in Istanbul.

“The grant will allow me to significantly expand and enhance the IJF through a distribution pilot program,” she said.

Jihad Hajjouji, a Middlebury sophomore, and Hafsa Anouar, a first-year student at Tufts, will work together to start “The National Entrepreneurial Camp,” a 10-day summer camp in Bouznika, Morocco, that will introduce the concept of entrepreneurship to students aged 16 to 19. According to Hajjouji, the unemployment rate in Morocco is nine percent and the country’s major employer the Moroccan government does not create enough jobs to keep up with demand.

“Our goal is to develop a generation of job creators, not job seekers,” said Hajjouji. In three to five years, they plan to set up similar training camps in various regions around the county. “Within 10-20 years, we want to have a network of young camp alumni who have started their own ventures,” she added.

The office of Middlebury College President Ron Liebowitz will fund an additional project, “Build a Library to Secure a Future.” Middlebury seniors Mutothori Mugo, Otis Pitney and Charlie Wemyss-Dunn, along with first-year student Maya Neria, will organize the construction of a library in Kenya in the central Huruma slums on the outskirts of Nairobi.

The library will supplement the academics and vocation-

al training offered by New Dawn, a school in the same location co-founded in 2006 by Mugo, who served as a teacher and coach there before his arrival at Middlebury.

“Education is fundamental for helping to break the perpetual poverty cycle in the Huruma and neighboring Githogoro slums,” said Mugo, who is from Nairobi. The total budget for the building is $20,000 but the students have already raised the initial $10,000 via Middstart, a micro-philanthropy website that supports Middlebury student-based projects.

“I want to use my birthday to once again help young people launch some initiatives that will bring new energy and ideas to the prospects of peace in the world,” said Davis.

“My many years have taught me that there will always be conflict. It’s part of human nature. But love, kindness and support are also part of human nature, and my challenge to these young people is to bring about a mindset of preparing for peace instead of preparing for war.”

American Series program has more than a dozen rookies registered to date, with several more expected to enter by the season opening Spring Green event on Sunday, May 6.

The headline Bond Auto Parts Modified class has freshman racers Joey Roberts, Andy Smith, and Jeff Haskins, each with vastly different racing backgrounds. After success in Sportsman and Renegade cars, Roberts, of Georgia, will make his openwheel debut in the No. 50x Bicknell chassis sponsored by Vermont Life Safety.

South Glens Falls, N.Y., driver Smith was a frequent winner on both the clay and asphalt Devil’s Bowl surfaces in the former Duke Stock class, and will pilot the no. 91 EZ Marine and Storage/Weller ’s Auto Parts Bicknell.

Jeff Haskins, of Wells, ran the first five stock car races of his career last season and earned an impressive seventh-place finish at Devil’s Bowl in his Dirt Wheels-built no. 95 Fuller Sand and Gravel/Concrete Professionals, Inc. car.

Seven rookies populate the Late Model driver roster.

East Montpelier teen and fourth-generation racer Joey Laquerre made a big splash while testing the waters in four Devil’s Bowl starts last year.

Rutland driver Jesse Carris has purchased the former Jacob McGrath car and will begin his racing career, and Danny Sullivan of Morrisonville, N.Y., comes to the Late Models after a solid Sportsman career at Airborne Speedway.

NYPD police officer and former openwheel Formula 2000 and Sprint Car standout Tad Uzzle of Wappingers Falls, N.Y., makes his full-fender debut, as does New Hampshire native and former Granite State Mini Sprint champion dirt tracker Johnny Chesnut, now living in Elizabethtown, N.Y. Rookies planning part-time schedules include multi-time Allison Legacy Series winner Emily Packard of East Montpelier and former Canaan Fair Speedway and Twin State Speedway standout Kyle Davis of Pittsford.

The entry-level four-cylinder Bomber division has seen growth in the off-season and claims Vermont-based rookies Jacob Doran of Benson, Kyle Watrous of Bomoseen, and Bristol’s Josh Masterson, a former Enduro winner at Devil’s Bowl.

The Devil’s Bowl Speedway season begins on Sunday, May 6, with the Spring Green event, and weekly Friday night racing returns to Devil’s Bowl beginning May 25 with the People’s United Bank Memorial Day Special.

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 description for the business development director in May, and starting the search for the Director in June. If the director search goes smoothly, the director would begin work in mid-fall, following the preliminary timeline. The schedule includes regular, monthly meetings of the Business Development Advisory Group and frequent reports to the Select Board.

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.

Award of Engineering Contract An award for the design of a grit drying bed for the Middlebury Wastewater Treatment Facility was made to Otter Creek Engineering, the low bidder.

Working Session Chairman Dean George reported on the Working Session held on March 26.

Committee Appointments George announced appointments to the Select Board's committees and Recreation Advisory Board.

Draft of the Revised Town Plan After nearly three years of work, the Planning Commission has posted the draft Town Plan on the town's website.

The Planning Commission and the Select Board will hold informational meetings and warned public hearings on the proposed plan later this spring.

Graffiti on the Cross Street Bridge.

With more graffiti appearing on the Cross Street Bridge in the wake of the town having incurred a $7,000 expense to remove the first graffiti on the bridge last fall, the Select Board unanimously voted to offer a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the apprehension of those responsible for the vandalism.

Please report non-functioning streetlights to the Town Manager's Office, 388-8100 ext. 202.

Meeting highlights are courtesy of Kathleen Ramsay, Middlebury Assistant Town Manager, and are published as a public service to our readers.

Business, labor groups: Town of Middlebury has budget surplus

By Lou Varricchio ‘No/ to Vt. Yankee tax newmarketpress@denpubs.com

From Staff & News Reports MONTPELIER — At a news conference April 6 at the Vermont State House, business and labor groups called upon the Vermont Senate to reject a new tax increase recently passed by the Vermont House on Vermont Yankee.

“This is not the time and this is not the economy in which to increase taxes on businesses, especially solely targeting one Vermont employer,” said William Driscoll, Vice President of Associated Industries of Vermont.

“Vermont’s economy and business reputation are struggling in many ways. This tax sets a bad precedent, one that other businesses will have a very watchful eye on,” said Driscoll.

Recently, the Vermont House approved a 120 percent annual tax increase on Vermont Yankee, from approximately $5 million to $11 million. The roughly $6 million annual increase to Vermont Yankee’s taxes is intended to assist Windham County to deal with post-Vermont Yankee issues, continue the Clean Energy Development Fund, and supplement the statewide education fund.

“This proposed tax increase is ill-advised for several reasons,” said Guy Page, communications director of the Vermont Energy Partnership. “It is an arbitrary tax increase. It may even be punitive in nature. It was passed with too-little debate or discussion and violates the letter and spirit of long-standing tax accords.

This sends out a very troubling signal about doing business in Vermont,” said Page.

George Clain of the IBEW Local 300 said, “A 2010 analysis by the Joint Fiscal Office showed that Vermont will benefit most, from a fiscal, jobs, and economic standpoint, if Vermont Yankee continues to operate. This job preservation and job creating course is the path the legislature should be supporting instead and immediately.”

MIDDLEBURY — The Town of Middlebury is in enviable financial position compared to other Vermont municipalities.

The Addison County seat has a $1.5 million budget surplus. How did the shire town enjoy its new largesse? Thanks to several 2011 construction projects that came in below budget, the Select Board

learned in January that the general fund was flush.

The Select Board approved a $8.4 million budget prior to Town Meeting.

Earlier this year, former Middlebury Select Board Chairman John Tenny had stated that the budget surplus would mean no increase to the town tax rate, but some voters expressed skepticism.

“It’s gotten much more expensive to live in Middlebury now,” said

Mitch Markham, 71, a life-long resident and voter. “residents keep approving increases in everything. A surplus is great, but not if we spend it all.”

Markham attended Town Meeting Day last month but came away from the proceeding unhappy.

“I’d like to see this town reduce taxes with the budget surplus its sitting on. We didn’t need to spend millions on renovating two fire stations,” he said.

Vt. House supports Working Lands Bill MONTPELIER – The Vermont House of Representatives gave initial approval for the Working Lands Enterprise Investment bill (H.496) March 29 with a 131-5 vote.

The bill includes a little more than a $2 million appropriation for a new fund to be directed toward economic development investment in agricultural and forest products enterprises. The bill will be considered for final passage in the House on Friday, and then will move on to the Senate for consideration.

The bill had non-partisan support, with an 11-0 vote in the Agriculture Committee, and several members speaking for the bill on the floor. Rep. Duncan Kilmartin (R-Newport) said he thought the bill was “one of the best bills I’ve seen” during his years as a House Representative.

Rep. Paul Ralston (D-Middlebury) said the bill will support “an economy only Vermont can have.” Ralston was thanked by Rep. Carolyn Partridge (D-Windham) for sitting in on Agriculture Committee discussion “on loan” from his usual committee, Commerce and Economic Development.

Rep. Tess Taylor (D-Barre) noted that the bill strengthening the working lands economy is a way to help keep Vermonters here, and Vermont’s “land is an asset for resiliency.”

The bill was reported on the floor by Rep. Will Stevens (I-Shoreham), who celebrated a birthday on Thursday. He told his colleagues, “This is a bill you can take home.”
