Staff reductions, Solar quality inspections looks coming to Vermont bright in schools By Bruce Parker Charlotte

Vermont Watchdog Report
By Gail Callahan CHARLOTTE — While some residents of New Haven and Hubbardton are resisting more solar-power projects in their community—complaining of permanent changes to their town’s rural landscape— Charlotte town officials are eager to utilize solar power, plugging in new state standards and revamping existing regulations. The state is seeking to use 90 percent renewable energy by 2050, Vermont is experiencing a solar boom with the help of taxpayerfunded incentives which are set to expire in 2016. The Vermont State Legislature has crafted and passed new energy regulations, but with that comes a new layer to take closer looks at projects. Locally, the Charlotte Planning Commission is discussing how the Town Plan can include regulations, enabling the town to have more say in the location of solar projects. The current document contains no such language. That goes hand-in-hand with a state-created committee, kicking off in three months, is tasked with studying how project locations are determined. Charlotte officials are considering a list of goals as a starting point for writing documents on how to look at proposed solar projects. At the same time, areas that are off limits to development, such as wildlife habitat, will also be included in the work. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
BRISTOL — In part two of an interview with State Rep. David Sharpe, D-Bristol, the House Education Committee chair told Vermont Watchdog reporter Bruce Parker he supports the recent Board of Education ruling that effectually ends school choice for tuitioning towns that merge with operating towns. In part two, Sharpe tells what Vermont is doing to address its costly student-teacher ratio— the heart of the state’s education financing crisis. He also says the Agency of Education plans to conduct unannounced quality inspections of schools. Bruce Parker: The cost of education boils down to the cost of paying teachers and staff. Is this the main issue driving Vermont’s education finance crisis? Rep. Sharpe: There was pretty broad recognition in our committee that that was the single biggest problem — the number of adults employed in our schools. The student-to-staff ratio was 1 to 4.67 — so one employed staff member to 4.67 students. That is off the charts compared to other schools CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Rutland leads lake wastewater dumps, group claims By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com
An Oct. 13 news release distributed by LCI singles out the City of Rutland for its highlevel of sewage that eventually ends up in the lake. Pictured is a representative overflowing sewage conduit. The photo was not taken in Rutland. USGS photo
MIDDLEBURY — Lake Champlain may be far away from most Vermont communities, but community wastewater—bearing everything from microorganisms to metal pollutants—ends up there just the same, according to the non-profit pollution watchdog group LCI, Lake Champlain International. Downstream pollution—or “upstream” in the case of the north-flowing Otter Creek—is a significant problem challenging ongoing efforts to reduce lake pollution. An Oct. 13 news release distributed by LCI singles out the City of Rutland for its high-level of sewage that eventually ends up in the lake. “Rutland pads it lead over Burlington with up to another 100,000 gallons of human excrement dumped at West Street,” according to the LCI statement released by Eric LaMontagne. “Twenty six dumps in four months will make it difficult for anyone else to catch up to Rutland this calendar year. Rutland further distinguishes itself by accounting fully for one-third of the 76 total dumps contributed by the other 15 Vermont communities during the last 16 weeks.” LCI reports that sewage contains far more pollutants than farm phosphorous. “That now brings the total to 76 sewage spills in the 16 different communities CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

alloween is a coming so don’t let your pet get spooked. Here are a few tips from the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) to make sure your pet stays safe and happy. Trick or Treaters showing up at the door may frighten all but the most sociable and easy going animals. If your pet doesn’t do well with surprises and commotion, keep her in a safe place during these hours. Chocolate can be harmful for pets so be sure to keep the candy bowl where Fido can’t reach it. If your dog ingests chocolate call your veterinarian for advice. Also to note, sugarless treats may contain Xylitol which is very toxic to pets. Costumes are fun and some pets love them and will ham it up. But many are stressed by being dressed up and stress can affect your pet’s health. If you do put a costume on your pet, make sure there aren’t items on it that can be chewed or torn off and swallowed. Finally, make sure your pet has I.D. Trick or Treaters and parties mean the door will be opening often, giving your pet a chance to make a run for it. If your pet goes missing call the shelter at 802-483-6700 any time and we’ll do what we can to get you reunited as quickly as possible. ICE 2 Year Old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair. White. Do not let my name scare you away; winter is not here quite yet, nor am I as cold as ice. I am actually a friendly, and sweet gal that has lived with cats, dogs and children. I am very easy going.

Davis receives philanthropy VCF award MIDDLEBURY — Rick Davis, co-founder of the Permanent Fund for Vermont’s Children, was presented with the Middelbury-based Vermont Community Foundation’s 2015 Excellence in Philanthropy Award at the Foundation’s Annual Meeting. The award was established to honor a Community Foundation fundholder who has demonstrated a long-term
commitment to supporting local communities, collaborates with others to leverage their giving for greater impact, understands the value of operating support for nonprofit organizations, as well as the power of focused, strategic support, and helps shape the future of philanthropy through their legacy giving. In 2000, Davis and Carl Ferenbach founded the Permanent Fund, seeking to make a difference for Vermont children and families. The Permanent Fund places a priority on developing collaborative relationships and is focused on supporting early
care and education through their Let’s Grow Kids and Vermont Birth to Five initiatives. Their work will continue to have a positive impact on Vermont’s children for many years to come. “It takes a tremendous team effort in our quest to make Vermont the best place in the nation to raise children. We have far too many children born in Vermont with the cards stacked against them. We cannot afford to give up on any of our children,” Davis said. “They are our economic engine for the future, and we have an obligation to give these kids a chance to realize
their promise. With continued efforts and support, I know we will be successful.” ABOVE: Carl Ferenbach, cofounder of the Permanent Fund, Staige Davis, Community Foundation Board of Directors, Stuart Comstock-Gay, Community Foundation president & CEO, Professor Robert D.

Schools
Continued from page 1 around the country. So what we need to do is reduce the number of staff. It’s 75 percent to 80 percent of school costs. So if we’re going to control schools’ cost, we’re going to have to control the number of staff people employed. It’s that straightforward. Parker: What’s being done to change the state’s student-staff ratio? Sharpe: We looked at ways in which we might mandate that from the state level and didn’t find anything that was satisfactory. Our hope is with these larger unified school districts. We see it in Chittenden East —the one unified district we have right now — and the situation with Bolton. By moving students from surrounding communities to the Smilie school in Bolton, they were able to reduce one teacher position. So one here, one there — we need to get our number of teachers under control. It’s better if we do that through attrition than if we run around pinkslipping a lot of people. Parker: This year, state education leaders discussed reducing the workforce by closing positions after retirements. Do you have an estimate of how many teachers will be retiring? Sharpe: I think it’s like around 500 a year. We expected a bump … because, when the Great Recession hit, the pension fund was hurting — it still is hurting, as a matter of fact. In order to enhance revenues to the pension fund, we required teachers to contribute a larger portion of their salary to the pension fund. In return for that, the Legislature agreed to allow the spouses of teachers to enjoy a subsidy in their health care, but they had to work five more years to get that benefit. The five years is up, and I suspect there are numerous cases around the state where teachers are ready to retire now. Parker: How will superintendents and local communities know not to replace retired teachers and staff? Sharpe: Well, if they haven’t got the message yet they’re not listening very well. We’ve talked an awful lot about student-tostaff ratio, (and) we’ve talked about teachers retirements. And the Agency has talked about it. And in the Act 46 conversations that I’ve been involved in, we’ve talked about reducing the staff in the communities. I’ll speak for my district, the little town of Starksboro that I represent. The recommended budget reduced the teaching staff by two or three people. (But) they’re a community that votes on the floor, and on the floor they amended the budget and added back $135,000 to keep those positions in place. So I think superintendents are getting the message, (but) there are a bunch of voters that complain about high property taxes, (and) there’s also a bunch that strongly supports schools and are unwilling

www.addision-eagle.com to reduce staff. Parker: Are you saying there’s nothing in Act 46 to require superintendents to close positions after people retire? Sharpe: You’re right. We talked about it in committee. We didn’t come to a point where we felt mandating such a move from Montpelier would be acceptable. Could we get the votes on the floor? And even if we did, what would the outrage be in the community if we mandated this? If we see no changes in the next couple years, and we continue to see property taxes go up and continue to see no change in ratios, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Legislature takes further action. Parker: There’s been a lot of talk about state quality standards. Should schools expect to face sanctions in the coming year for failing to meet those standards? Sharpe: I have heard rumors that might be possible. Parker: What would that entail? Sharpe: I know the Agency of Education has decided that what they’re going to attempt to do is look at a third of the schools each year. And we did take testimony on the kinds of things they’re going to do. It’s going to be somewhat similar to the NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) process. (In the) New England certification process, you have a year to document what good things you’re doing, and you know ahead of time when the team is going to come, so you can pretty things up so it looks pretty good to the evaluators. (But) I think the state is going to do a short process and go into the schools unannounced and take a look and see what’s going on in those schools. So they are going to do some things different than the New England process. Parker: Can the Agency of Education close schools that aren’t meeting state quality standards? Sharpe: You’re wading into an area I really don’t know a whole lot about, since it’s not part of Act 46. This is preexisting law. I believe receiving Vermont tax dollars is part of it. I don’t think they can close a school unless it’s a public school. But an independent school I don’t think they can close. What they can do is remove their approval status. There are private schools that are completely independent of the state system and tax dollars, such as the Red Cedar School in my district, a school that goes up to the eighth grade. I don’t think there are any tax dollars at that school. Parents pay the entire freight. I don’t know what sanctions the state Agency has over those schools. Which is a question that needs to be asked, because the constitution says it’s our responsibility to educate every child in the state. So if we have children in the state who
The Vermont Eagle • October 24, 2015 | 5 are not getting an adequate education, then that’s really our responsibility. It’s the Legislature’s and the Agency of Education and the state Board’s responsibility. Parker: Can you give an example of a school failing to meet quality standards? Sharpe: I (had) a conversation with the president of University of Vermont, Mr. Sullivan, and UVM offers a fantastic program where the valedictorian from any school can go free to UVM — that’s a big deal. One of the valedictorians in the state didn’t apply to UVM, and (Sullivan) was investigating why that was the case. It turned out this valedictorian did not have the courses to qualify to be admitted into our own state university. That’s a tragedy. We have two significant problems in education we have to address going forward: one is the education of children from low-income homes, and the other is inspiring students to aspire to education beyond high school, whether it’s being an electrician’s apprentice or going to the University of Vermont. If we’re graduating students that can’t even have that option, I think that’s a real problem. Parker: Statewide consolidation is a big project and a large undertaking for districts. Sharpe: It is. We left as much local control in as we felt was possible. It will be interesting to see how local communities deal with these problems. There’s the tension between higher taxes and educational opportunities, and that’s always been there. If you look at the history of education in the state, this is not new, and it’s a difficult conversation in some communities. My hat is off to local school board members. I think it’s the most difficult public service in the state, and we gave them a difficult task. Contact Bruce Parker at bparker@watchdog.org

From the Editor
When homeowners push back C
ommercial “solar farms” have been popping up everywhere in Vermont, being most visible, locally, along the U.S. Route 7 corridor. While developers may add a few grazing sheep or faux sugar shacks among the arrays to dress up a solar site, they’re hardly “farms” in any traditional sense. While more than a few homeowners—and concerned members of various town select boards without a P.C. energy agenda to push—have protested the fact that many of these operations are being erected on residential and agricultural, not commercial, zoned land; their concerns seem to have fallen on deaf ears in Montpelier. When it comes to “green” energy, state law is running roughshod over our local zoning laws. With a package of federal subsidies for solar projects about to sunset next year, there’s been a rush to push through “solar farms” with a public-be-damned attitude from the power-plant developers as well as many town officials. Regardless of the sunny spin developers may put on this issue, you can’t deny facts: solar energy is a costly enterprise without government subsidies (ironically, it’s exactly what solar folks used to use to accuse the commercial nuclear power industry about). “Solar energy remains prohibitively expensive, often three times more than electricity produced from natural gas and other sources,” according to a report by the Taxpayers Protection Alliance. “We’re shining a bright spotlight on the darker side of solar power,” said TPA president David Williams in a CNS interview. “Taxpayer-backed loans to the solar industry, bailouts, and publicly funded grants cost Americans more than $39 billion annually. Despite these massive costs, taxpayers aren’t even benefitting with lower electricity prices.” In the case of one local “solar farm” eruption, fighting back gets results. A recent homeowner protest against “solar farming” in Rutland County seems to have delayed development of a “solar farm” near the historic Hubbardton Battlefield. Waterbury-based SunCommon announced plans in June to build a solar array, on a cow pasture on the Galvin property—on Saint John Road—and sited it along Howland Road, a stone’s throw from the Vermont’s only Revolutionary War battlefield. Neighbors were clearly not happy after receiving printed letters from the company announcing its plans during the early summer. In fact, SunCommon surveyors were already flagging the site before the letter ink was dry. At a public hearing following the letter, town officials—and a SunCommon P.R. specialist—got an earful. After the meeting, Hubbardton residents signed a petition, sent it to the PSB and SunCommon, stating that they do not want commercial solar arrays in their neighborhoods. Hubbardton officials also weighed in: “Most towns in Vermont are not up to date with regulations regarding energy producing facilities..,” according to a letter written by Hubbardton Select Board Chairman Robert Gibbs and Planning Commission head Shawn DuBois to the Public Service Board. “Development of renewable energy sources should be developed to avoid negative impact on the rural character of our community and complement our plan for land use. We, as a town, prefer in all cases that big and non-single use homeowner solar projects be located in designated commercially zoned areas and are opposed to this(Sun Common) proposed solar array (on the Galvin property).” In the case of Hubbardton’s push back, while one victory in a cow pasture does not win a war, it’s a start in the uphill battle against returning sanity to Vermont’s residential and agricultural zoning laws.

We’re Broke!
struggled listening to the first Democrat Presidential Debate last week. Knowing the national debt now stands at $18.4 Trillion dollars and growing, it’s hard to imagine how they could continue to discuss expanding free give away programs. What’s even harder to understand is why audience was clapping when they proposed them. It seems that too many of the candidates from both of the parties are racing to the extreme edges of their political beliefs in order to earn the nomination. Conventional wisdom in the past dictates they move back to the middle to win the election. I think that process is just one of the reasons why the electorate is so disgusted with politics today. If they really want their candidates to be far left or far right then it’s understandable why they are so disappointed when their candidate fails to deliver once elected. The reality we must come to grips with is this nation can’t survive if it’s all far left or far right. The politicians recognize this once they are in office, but why do we as a people allow these foolish promises to swing public opinion so wildly, creating expectations when we know these promises are not always realistic? Growing up it was my understanding that this nation was made up of self made, self motivated, free spirited people. It’s what made us unique and the envy of the world that we enjoyed the freedom to be anything we wanted to be. So with a people who know what they want and are willing to go out and earn it on their own, why do we need the government to give us things that only serve to diminish our own personal drive? Let’s take college for example. All the candidates on stage last week pushed the notion that free tuition for public college should be provided by the government. I know many people who are skilled with their hands and are very happy with the lives they have made for themselves without the college degree. There are many important trades that provide a valuable need in society but the sense of achievement from building a successful career and finding purpose in ones life can’t be purchased nor supplied by another. In my own case, higher education wasn’t my first thought when I was growing up. I really didn’t know what I wanted from life, but my father made it clear I was going to go to college; End of discussion. My father would co-sign with me for a college tuition loan, but there was also no doubt, I would be the one who would pay back that loan, education earned or not. After two years it was clear, that
college wasn’t for me. I wanted to join the workforce and was confident in my abilities to succeed. He was very upset, but a year later after I had risen in the ranks, he proudly gave Dan Alexander me his approvThoughts from al. Behind the Pressline I, like many others, believe we are living the American Dream. That’s a feeling no one can provide to another regardless how well meaning their intentions may be. It must be earned through hard work, personal sacrifice and drive to achieve whatever your version of the American Dream may be. Our government leaders need to have faith in our people who have always risen to the challenge. Easy isn’t what built this country. America has been crafted one life at a time and one size does not fit all. Dan Alexander is associate publisher of New Market Press. He may be reached at dan@newmarketpressvt.com

Go bats in Ferrisburgh!

lou@addison-eagle.com Ferrisburgh — If folks appear to be just a little batty at the Rokeby Museum in Ferrisburgh, don’t worry. They’re just trying to awareness about the tiny winged mammals that are important to Vermont’s ecology. You can help kick off National Bat Week at the Rokeby Museum in Ferrisburgh on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 3 p.m. Vermont wildlife biologist Alyssa Bennett will deliver a “state of the bat” address and answer questions about the furry critter. ”Vermont’s bats have been under siege by disease, and losing ground, for years,” according to a news statement by Jane Williamson of the Rokeby Museum. “Five of the state’s nine bat species are listed as either threatened or endangered. A fungus, the mysterious ‘white nose syndrome’ attacked bats and decimated their numbers around the state.” Bennett’s visit to Rokeby will include some new information about ongoing bat research. The biologist believes there’s “a glimmer of hope for the future” regarding the lifecycle of bats in Vermont. ”The critters’ fortunes may be turning around or at least not getting worse,” according to the Rokeby statement. Bennett has studied brown bats in the state. She has tagged groups of bats and tracked their flying and social habits for years. The special National Bat Week educational program will be only $2, If you choose to tour Rokeby on the same day of the presentation, admission to the bat talk will be free with a paid museum admission. The Rokeby Museum is located at 4334 U.S. Route 7 in Ferrisburgh..
High-tech freezer keep local produce fresh in Middlebury By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY — “Mr. Freeze”, one of the evil supervillains appearing in the Batman comics and film series, had to spend his days living inside a cryogenic suit. While Batman’s frosty nemesis used his cryo technology for ill, a local “Mr. Freeze” unit is doing good things for the citizens of Gotham City—er—Addison County. The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets just transferred its own multi-wheeled version of “Mr. Freeze”—a high-tech mobile flash freeze unit—to the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury. This benign Mr. Freeze unit is under a long-term lease agreement with the Addison County vocational-technical school. “This acquisition by the Hannaford Career Center supports a broad effort among Addison County partners to strengthen their local food system,” said Vermont Secretary of Agriculture Chuck Ross. “This important asset will not only be used to preserve farm fresh produce at the peak of harvest but will also increase undeserved communities’ access to locally grown food.” Ross said that this innovative food processing unit is being used to flash-freeze locally grown fruits and vegetables for longterm storage. In turn, the Hannaford Center is partnering with HOPE, Helping Overcome Poverty’s Effects and the Addison
Common Core misconception To the editor: The number of articles being written concerning the Common Core for Mathematics is just about at an epidemic level. I learned of a man in Ohio writing a check to his child’s school in a manner, he says, is what the common core in math is telling his child to do. A Mrs. Lamoreaux of Arkansas indicates she represents 1,100 parents and educators who have serious reservations concerning the Common Core for Mathematics. (This appears in a public video news clip online.) She gave the school committee, which approved the common core as the set of standards for her children’s school, this problem: A teacher has 18 students in his class. If the class starts counting (I bet the question really meant, a reciting of numbers and finished at 90, what number was the first number’s name? A member of the school committee indicated it must be five (5). When asked to indicate how they did it, the person indicated they divided 90, by 18 and found 5 to be the answer. She then said, ‘yes,’ this is true; it took about 2 seconds. Next, Mrs. Lamoreaux proceeded to tell the school committee about the following: “This, however, is what the Common Core Standards expect our fourth graders to do. If they solve it in those two steps they get it marked wrong. They are expected to draw 18 circles with 90 hash marks solving this problem in exactly 108 steps. Board members, this is not rigorous. This is not college ready. This is not preparing our children to compete in a global economy”. She is so right and I am glad to see that some parents still care for their children. Her only problem, and it is the same problem indicated by the man who wrote the check, is that the Common Core for Mathematics never indicated any of these activities. So, who did? Not only did that particular school committee not read the core, but neither Mrs. Lamoreaux nor the check writer took the time to determine if these activities were actually a part of any Common Core standard. The core has never said things such as this, but it does make some really poor statements in its standards. I remember, not too long ago, that an educator from our area indicated that she endorsed each and every Common Core stan-
County Food Shelf. The Food Shelf will distribute the local veggies being kept on ice. According to Kristina Sweet of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets, “Mr. Freeze” is valued at approximately $40,000. “The versatile freezer sits inside an 8 feet by 18 feet trailer and is designed to quickly freeze fresh or processed produce—including berries, tomatoes, beans, and squash, as well as value-added
products such as salsa and pesto,” according to Sweet. “As an example of its capabilities, the unit can freeze up to 600 pounds of berries per hour and includes storage space for up to 800 pounds of frozen berries,” she noted. “USDA Rural Development, the Vermont Department of Tourism & Marketing, and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture funded the unit’s construction in 2008.” Jeanne Montross, executive director of HOPE in Middlebury, believes supporting and distributing local produce is good for the local economy and health of all residents. “We are immensely pleased that this transfer has taken place,” Montross said. “The Hannaford Career Center has been a valuable core partner in a group that has been meeting regularly in an effort to create a local food system that is accessible to everyone, regardless of income. This acquisition will strengthen the partnerships that have been developing and will help us to make it possible to process large quantities of food use in the winter months.” Local farmers may be interested to learn how they can take advantage of the mobile flash freeze unit, too; they may contact Lynn Coale at the Center, at 802-382-1002 for details. ABOVE: “Mr. Freeze”: The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets completed the transfer of its mobile quick freeze unit to the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center of Middlebury this month.
Letters dard for mathematics. For the life of me, I cannot understand how she could. In Middlebury, we’re in the same fix. We’re blaming the Common Core, when it’s actually the mathematics program adopted by your administrators and school committee (and provided by publishing firms, such as “Bridges”), which develops these types of classroom programs. Much like the gentleman who wrote the check, and Mrs. Lamoreaux, I am wondering when we will wake up? I was—for a short while—a member of my local school board. It was clear to me that the chairperson of the school board was not going to let this topic come up; the rest of the board members were not willing to question these educational activities and to institute a discussion with the superintendent and assistant superintendent. This program was producing, and still does produce, dismal results. Have you seen the results of the Common Core testing given at the end of the past school year? Neither have I. I am being told that the results are not being made public. I wonder why? The children of this community are extremely important. I was a principal of the Mary Hogan School in Middlebury, so, please help me hold those responsible for the decisions they have made regarding the Bridges Program to prove—to parents and voters—that this program is good for our children and my grandchildren.

A response to Kaufman column To the editor: I am appreciative of Ms. Kaufman’s School Board Watch column in The Eagle. Democracy would not function without citizens and the media taking the time to participate and speak out. I thank The Eagle for allowing me an opportunity to respond to Ms. Kaufman’s comments. The Addison Northwest Supervisory Union school board (SU) is aware that there is room for improvement in our schools annual reporting and during its May 2015 meeting the SU board created an audit committee to address among other things the financial reporting format and information included in the annual reports distributed to our communities. The committee began
meeting in May and has met monthly since and will continue to address the need for transparent, simple, comparable information reporting of our schools and administration to our communities. At our September 14, 2015 meeting we reviewed and discussed ACSU’s financial reporting as one of the models for review and consideration for our 2015-2016 annual reports. The committee has its public meetings at 4:30 pm the second Monday of each month at the Addison Northwest Supervisory Union (ANwSU) offices in the Kennedy Brothers Building in Vergennes. The next meeting is October 12, 2015. All are welcome to attend. In The Eagle’s Sept. 15, 2015 on-line posting of School Board Watch column Ms. Kaufman stated that, “The 2014 fund balance deficit was not reported, Hannaford Technical Center Tuition was not reported, and interest income was not reported.” This is incorrect. The 2014 fund balance deficit and the Hannaford Technical Center Tuition were reported on page 35 and interest can be found on page 32 of the 2014-2015 VUHS Annual Report. All ANwSU schools annual reports are available on line at anwsu.org. In The Eagle’s Oct. 3, 2015 School Board Watch column Ms. Kaufman states there is a “million dollar question needing answered. If the VUHS school board violated 16 V.S.A. 567, are the ANwSU taxpayers entitled to an insurance claim?” The answer to that question is no. Previous surpluses were treated in accordance to law and the taxpayers received the benefit of that surplus. All deficits have also been treated in accordance to the law. All completed audit reports can be found at anwsu.org and all property tax calculations have been completed by the state of Vermont in accordance with law and all appropriate surpluses and deficits have been included in those calculations in accordance with the law. There has been a lot to deal in the ANwSU over the last 5 years. We have had a great improvement in the last year and we will continue on that track. All the school boards in ANwSU are committed to our fiduciary responsibilities to the taxpayers and the students. We have great schools and great communities and we intend to continue on this path. Please feel free to contact your school board representative for any questions. Laurie Childers Addison Representative Vergennes Union High School Board Chair

VERMONT HORSES— A woman tends to her horses in a frosty morning pasture along Texas Hill Road in Hinesburg earlier this month. The popularity of stabling horses by rural landowners in the state has increased rapidly since the 1980s. The numbers of horses in the state, while nowhere near the numbers in the late 1800s, are probably the highest since World War II. The Justin Morgan horse—linked to Vermont breeder Justin Morgan—evolved into the singular name of the famous breed. Photo by Lou Varricchio

Humble hero By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — Before he heads to Washington, DC on Saturday, Thomas Buckley just has one question: “Why is my opinion important?” Buckley says his stint in World War II was nothing more than a vacation — a way for a self-described hick like himself to spend a week in Switzerland before heading off to Italy. The honor and accolades — a police escort to Plattsburgh, parade and day spent taking in capital memorials — is unwarranted, he said. Buckley, 89, first heard about Pearl Harbor as a teenager cruising back from his uncle’s place on Silver Lake. But the Plattsburgh native was too young to be drafted. That had to wait until July 1945, just before Japan quit. After making his way through a series of stateside camps for training — Shanks, Jackson — the 19-year-old found himself headed to Italy on the SS Blue Ridge Victory. Buckley arrived in a destroyed train station in Naples. The windows and roof were blown out and survivors took refuge in the remnants. From there, he took a troop train to Cividale, a mountain town on the border with Yugoslavia. “It was pretty bleak,” Buckley recalled. “The railroad tracks were shot to hell and there wasn’t too much left of them.” His assignment was to drive a truck hauling materials used for reconstructive efforts, bridges and roads. Buckley would watch food rations come into Trieste, the northeastern seaport. Gift to the People of Yugoslavia from the People of the United States, read the stamps on the crates. “We were feeding them during the day so they would shoot at us at night,” said Buckley. “I’ve seen it happen.” One of the biggest supply bases was in Livorno on the west coast. Every two months, troops had to reposition boxes of explosives stored at the munitions depot. If all of the materiel was allowed to gather at one end, the explosives would become unstable and dangerous, said Buckley. Relations with locals were largely cordial. “Some of them had a rough going,” said Buckley. “You’d see women coming out of the woods carrying baskets of twigs and small pieces of lumber to sell in the square.” Buckley never saw combat. The only time he heard rifle fire was when a soldier accidentally discharged his weapon during a changing of the guard. One year later, Buckley found himself on a boat back to the United States. He made a career at the New York Phone Company, got married and had six kids. “I never had any hobbies because my main hobby was working,” said Buckley. “When you have six kids and a wife, and they all want their own shoes, you have to listen.” Buckley will head to DC on Saturday with three other veterans: John McAlevey, of Jay, Maurice Guerrette and Arthur Niederbuhl, both of Bloomingdale. “I can’t see why I did anything out of the ordinary,” said Buckley. “I don’t think it’s deserved.”

Tremont reigns in season finale at Devil’s Bowl Speedway By Justin St. Louis
WEST HAVEN – Kenny Tremont Jr. added yet another line on his Modified stock car racing résumé at the Dirt Track at Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Oct. 4, as he won the “King of the Clay 100” season finale. In doing so, the legendary West Sand Lake, N.Y., racer vaulted from third place in the point standings to clinch the seventh championship of his career at Devil’s Bowl, taking down the Liberty Street Discount Beverage & Deli Sportsman Modified title. Tremont was the dominant force in the second half of the 100-lap race, but not before impressive rides up front by several other drivers. Polesitter Codie Aubin led the first five circuits before Jackie Brown Jr., who entered the event as the point leader. took over. Vince Quenneville Jr. got past Brown after a restart on lap 13 and held the point for 21 laps before Tim Hartman Jr. appeared up front. Hartman was strong in his first appearance of the year, but Tremont – from the 14th starting position – jumped ahead at lap 60 and ran away. A final caution flag at lap 89 erased a half-track lead that Tremont had built, bringing Hartman back alongside him for the restart. Tremont bobbled at the drop of the green flag and Hartman nosed ahead to lead lap 90, but Tremont gathered his car back up to retake the top spot and drive off with the win – the 70th victory of his career at Devil’s Bowl and his third on the new 3/10-mile infield dirt track. Hartman, of Niskayuna, N.Y., finished second, just in front of teammate Derrick McGrew of Ballston Spa, N.Y. McGrew had an eventful race, spinning through the infield early and then losing his power steering just before the halfway point of the race. Adam Pierson finished fourth after making a pit stop in the middle stages of the race. Bobby Hackel finished fifth, followed by Quenneville, Justin Comes, championship runner-up Tim Hodge, Allan Hammond, and Derek Graham. Brown finished 14th and fell to third place in the final standings. Bill Duprey of Hydeville made it three consecutive wins in the Renegade division with another dominant score. Duprey made his way past Aaron Fachini for the lead early in the race and ran away for the victory. Josh Coonradt snuck into the runner-up position with Fachini settling for third place. Lou Gancarz finished fourth, while Darrell Older of Ballston Spa crossed the finish line in fifth place to wrap up the Renegade division championship over Matt Mosher. Todd Goldstein of Ballston Lake grabbed the biggest payday of the year for the Mini Stock division, racing to a $500 top prize posted by Portland Glass of Rutland. Goldstein started last on the 23-car field but needed only 11 laps to get to the front. He took the lead from Justin Severance and held Severance off in the final nine laps for the win. Mike Ryan, Chris LaVair, and Tim Martin rounded out the top five. Brian Bishop of Bridport finished eighth, which was enough to lock up the Mini Stock championship over Severance. The MFT Sauce & Rub Co. Enduro Series ran a pair of events to wrap up their championship season. The opening 25-lap race was contested on Devil’s Bowl Speedway’s half-mile asphalt
track and saw a first-time winner in Shawn Moquin of Milton. Moquin topped Jeff Murray, Zach Wood, Chris Mattos, and Brandon Gray for the win. The nightcap Enduro was a 50-lap race held on the dirt track, and East Thetford driver Gray went to victory lane after taking the lead with six laps remaining. Brett Wood of Georgia finished second and clinched his first Enduro Series championship ahead of Murray and his son, Zach Wood. Jason Porter, P.J. Bleau, and Tyler Quenneville completed the top five finishers in the dirt race. With the 2015 racing season complete, Devil’s Bowl Speedway begins planning for its 50th season of competition in 2016. The annual Banquet of Champions will be held on Saturday, Jan. 30 with details to be announced soon.

Website kicks Castleton’s Wells named NAC Rookie of the Week off for MUHS By Jeff Weld Tiger fans MIDDLEBURY— Just in time for back to school, a new MUHS Tiger athletics website is off and running—middleburytigers.com. The new site features latest news and information for Tigers fans, including news, scores, schedules, community directory, photos, videos, livestreams, as well as archival content such as yearbook images. middleburytigers.com also features a team store with latest gear and apparel. “From our ongoing communication with members of the community, we know that there is tremendous interest in the idea of a community site for Tigers fans,” said Jack Londgren, website manager. “The middleburytigers.com site offers exciting ways for community members to stay informed and interact. Last but not least, it is an ideal tool for fundraising, particularly for smaller teams and clubs that do not have the benefit of dedicated booster clubs.“
CASTLETON — Castleton University player Sarah Wells of Chester, Vt., was named North Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Week following a week in which she scored a game-winning goal in overtime against conference opponent New England College. Wells played a big role in Castleton’s two wins on the week, scoring one goal and tallying one assist. Wells buried the game-winning goal in overtime on the road against conference foe New England College, while also assisting on the Spartans’ first goal in the NEC game. Wells also recorded two shots, putting one of them on goal, against No. 14 Williams on Tuesday. In a game last week against St. Joseph’s (Maine), Wells drew a foul in the shooting circle that would lead to the game-winning goal on a penalty stroke by Rachel Holland.

The Middlebury Collge women’s volleyball team increased its winning streak to nine-straight matches with a 3-0 home victory (25-17, 26-24, 25-13) over visiting Skidmorelast week. In the opening set, Middlebury jumped out to a quick 8-2 lead on a kill by Gabi Rosenfeld. The Thoroughbreds slowly cut the deficit to four at 12-8 on a service ace from Allie Dillon, but the hosts recorded the next four points and eventually took the first set. The second set played out much like the first with the Panthers grabbing the early 6-0 advantage.

CSJ, College of St. Joseph
The College of St. Joseph men’s soccer team played in a hard fought match against Maine – Presque Isle on Oct. 3, which ended in a 2-2 tie. The Saints were undermanned due to injury, but they worked through the fatigue and were able to keep the talented Owls from scoring in overtime. CSJ got off to a strong start, scoring their first goal in just five minutes of play. The goal came off a penalty kick from Helder Andrade. He took full advantage and put the ball in the back of the net, right past the diving goalkeeper. The Saints scored their second goal just minutes before the end of the first half. It was a messy play in which the ball was loose, bouncing around, and the Owls managed to get an own goal much to their dismay. The Saints went into halftime with a comfortable 2-0 lead. It did not take long for the Owls to come striking back. They scored their first goal at 53 minutes off a nice header from Cody Blair. They continued to put the pressure on the Saints defense and goalkeeper, and eventually scored what would be the final goal of the match in the 78th minute. The Saints were able to hold the Owls from scoring in overtime, in big part due to the play of fill-in goalkeeper Kyle Milligan. He made big saves down the stretch, including a few where he needed to dive in order to keep the ball out of the net. CSJ survived and was able to keep the game a tie, which gives them their first tied game of the season. From CSJ news reports
After a week in which they led their team to a fifth place finish at the Vermont State Meet, Elizabeth Bassette and Haley Kennedy earned North Atlantic Conference Runner and Rookie of the Week honors, respectively. Bassette once again paced the Spartans, taking first on her team and seventh overall in the meet. Bassette was the top finisher from a school other than Middlebury, finishing with a time of 21:36 to set a new season-best time. last week, Kennedy placed second on her team for the second consecutive race after running a time of 22:57. Kennedy placed 17th overall in the meet, stretching her streak of top-two finishes on her team to five consecutive races to begin her career. It was the second consecutive week that Bassette and Kennedy have earned their respective rewards. This is the fourth time this season that Kennedy has been named Rookie of the Week.

Firefighters to spearhead 5-town food drive Oct. 24 By Lou Varricchio
LINCOLN —The Lincoln Volunteer Fire Department—in conjunction with the Bristol, Monkton, New Haven and Starksboro Fire Departments— will begin its five-town-wide food drive on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 a.m. to noon. The theme of this year’s community drive is “Help Us Fill the Firehouses”. This year’s food drive will mark the second year which includes all five towns served by the Have-A-Heart Food Shelf. Bristol, Monkton, New Haven and Starksboro firefighters will join Lincoln first responders to open their station doors from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 24. Residents of Lincoln are asked to drop off their donations at the Lincoln Fire Station. Residents of the other town may drop off items at their respective station. During the most recent three-month period, the HaveA-Heart Food Shelf served 60 households or approximately 150 individuals. Forty two percent of the
families served were from Bristol, 14 percent from Lincoln, 10 percent from Monkton, 12 percent from New Haven and 22 percent of the families were from Starksboro. Traditionally, the number of families served increases during the winter months, especially around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays when the Have-A-Heart Food Shelf will serve over 100 families. Last year. firefighters of the five towns collectively donated over 2,500 pounds of nonperishable items to the food shelf. Suggested items include; peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, cereal, soup, tuna, rice, beans, laundry soap, shampoo, toothpaste and brushes and bar soap. Holiday items include pumpkin, cranberries, stuffing mix, pie crust, and evaporated milk and with a new freezer available, frozen turkeys are also welcomed. This food drive is the Bristol Fire Department’s eighth year collecting non-perishable items for the local food shelf and the second year the members of the Lincoln Volunteer Fire Department have participated.
