Special collaborative concert set at Mahaney Center for the Arts Persian trio, Senegalese performance slated Jan. 13 MIDDLEBURY — Persian music trio Constantinople will make its Middlebury debut in a special collaborative concert with Senegalese kora player Ablaye Cissoko Friday, Jan. 13 at the Mahaney Center for the Arts. The culture-spanning program, titled Itinerant Gardens, is a poetic encounter between strings, percussion, and voice, featuring music that ranges from the epics of the Mandingo Kingdom to the music of the Persian court. This concert is the sixth event of the Middlebury College Performing Arts Series’ 97th season.

Itinerant Gardens was inspired by the timeless tradition of the bard, the troubadour, and the griot. These wordsmiths, at once messengers and peacemakers, call upon forces of nature, the divine, and ancient memory to create their songs and stories. Constantinople describes this program as a “joint crossing of shared regions of the imagination, like a deep breath before the inexorable march of time and the world.”

About Constantinople Named for the ancient trailblazing city illuminating East and West, Constantinople was founded in 1998 in Montreal

by Iranian brothers Kiya and Ziya Tabassian. The ensemble explores a wide range of musical avenues, from medieval

manuscripts to contemporary aesthetics, and from Mediterranean Europe to the East and New World Baroque. The New York Times praised the trio’s “…intriguing East-meets-West quality suggested by the juxtaposition of the gamba and the Persian instruments.” For this tour, Kiya Tabassian will per-

form on setar and vocals, Pierre-Yves Martel will play the viola da gamba, and Patrick Graham will play percussion.

Constantinople has appeared in many of the world’s major international festivals and stages, including the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence (France), the World Sacred Music Festival of Fez (Morocco), the Festival d’Île de France (Paris), the Onassis Centre (Athens), the Festival de México en el Centro Histórico (Mexico), the Festival de Lanaudière (Quebec), and the MusicFest Vancouver (Canada). In addition to their touring work, Constantinople also presents an annual season at home in Montreal. They have eleven albums on the ATMA label, and has recently released Early Dreams on the Analekta label. The ensemble is supported by the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres of Quebec, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Conseil des Arts de Montréal.

About Ablaye Cissoko, Kora Kimintang Mahamadou (Ablaye) Cissoko was born in 1970 in Kolda, Senegal to a long line of griots, or storytelling musicians. He made his kora debut at the age of 12 before entering the conservatory of music in Dakar. In 1985, he joined the Saint-Louis (Senegal) Jazz Orchestra, composed of African and European musicians. In 2003, he recorded his first compositions on the album Diam, followed in 2005 by Le Griot Rouge. He has collaborated with New York-based, German trumpeter Volker Goetze; French pianist and drummer Simon Goubert; Moroccan multi-instrumentalist Majid Bekkas; and his Senegalese band Le Corda Ba. Cissoko is supported by BNP Paribas Foundation.

The concert by Constantinople will take place on Friday, January 13, 2017, at 8:00 P.M., in the Kevin P. Mahaney ’84 Center for the Arts’ Robison Hall. The Mahaney Center is located on the campus of Middlebury College, at 72 Porter Field Road, just off Route 30 south/S. Main Street. Free parking is available curbside on Route 30 or in the Center for the Arts parking lot, in rows marked faculty/staff/visitors. Tickets are $20 for the general public; $15 for Middlebury College faculty, staff, alumni, emeriti, and other ID card holders; and $6 for Middlebury College students. For more information, or to purchase tickets, call (802) 443-MIDD (6433) or go to http:// www.middlebury.edu/arts.

GMP claims software to reduce costs, emissions

RUTLAND — Officials of Virtual Peaker Inc. and Green Mountain Power announced a partnership they claim will help GMP customers save money, reduce carbon emissions, and use more renewables.

GMP, a Vermont utility, will use Virtual Peaker’s proprietary software to partner with customers to share access to Internetbased appliances and devices.

GMP can change those devices into energy-saving modes, which will reduce grid demand and lower costs for all customers.

GMP used the Virtual Peaker platform first as a pilot project over six months, and after great results the project has moved to the next phase. To demonstrate greater customer savings through innovation, GMP’s goal is to have more than 1,000 devices engaged over 18 months. “...GMP is focused on leveraging the latest in technology to lower costs for customers and make the system more reliable,” said Josh Castonguay, a GMP executive.”

Vermont press, politicians caught up in Russia hack fake news story Vermont Watchdog Report

MIDDLEBURY — Last week, Vermont press outlets found themselves caught in the middle of an apparent fake news story first reported by the Washington Post.

It all started when the Post reported on Dec. 30 that Russian hackers infiltrated the Vermont electric grid after a malware code was discovered on a laptop at the Burlington Electric Department. The news was quickly picked up by VTDigger, VPR and the Burlington Free Press.

But the Post issued a correction the next day, saying that an “earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid.” The correction added: “Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid.” Politico also exposed the errors contained in the original story.

Nevertheless, the fake news left Vermont politicians hanging. U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., suggested the Russians were “trying to access utilities to potentially manipulate the grid and shut it down in the middle of winter.”

U.S. Rep. Peter Welch also issued a statement, saying, “We must remain vigilant, which is why I support President Obama’s sanctions against Russia and its attacks on our country and what it stands for.”

Outgoing Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin responded to the Post’s news story by calling Russia President Vladimir Putin “one of the world’s leading thugs.”

The malware was discovered a day after the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security alerted the electric utility to a hacking campaign dubbed “Grizzly Steppe,” which they allege is of Russian origin. Network administrators across the nation had received instructions to check their systems for security purposes.

Robert Lee, CEO and founder of cyber security company Dragos, which focuses on security of infrastructure, has indicated that the malware found on the Burlington Electric laptop is of a type that is generally available to the public, meaning it may have had no connection to the Russian government or a Russian cyber attack.

“The IOCs [Indicators of Compromise] contained commodity malware – can’t attribute based off that alone,” Lee wrote Dec. 31 on his his Twitter account, which includes ongoing comments on the matter.

Readers of VTDigger and other Vermont media have since been challenging editors to correct any implications in their reporting that Vermont was the victim of a Russian cyber attack. As recently as Monday, VTDigger Editor Anne Galloway was responding to the concern in the comments section of the publication’s story.

“All we can do is interview people, look at materials and go with information we have at the time and write as accurately as we can,” Galloway wrote in one of her responses to commenters. “We did not say Russian hackers had penetrated the grid. We said they penetrated a computer.”

A reader of a similar Russian hack narra-

tive reported by VPR expressed disappointment about the misleading news: “By now you can easily find that the malware in question is an old version of commercially available Ukrainian software. i cant see why VPR would continue to run a story filled with falsehoods ..unless its for Dis-Information purposes to serve a political agenda.”

This allegation comes amid claims by the CIA

accusing Russia of hacking into emails of the Democratic National Committee, which were later released to the public through WikiLeaks.

So far, no solid evidence has been presented to the public to back these assertions.

FAKE NEWS: Vladimir Putin and Russia were blamed for another hacking scandal this past week, the only problem is there is no evidence that hacking took place.

tomato and onion in between a BIG BULKY ROLL!?!

Okay, we can just erase that one off the list too.

What’s next... I’ve got it! Are you sitting for this one? I am going to watch less TV. Hahaha, that is a good one right there. Who am I kidding? I can’t go a day without watching the Ellen show. She is the funniest person I know. Not only is she entertaining to watch but she is kind hearted. You may be surprised to learn that my New Years Resolution came from the Ellen show. No, I am not going to give our readers a new car or a $500 gift card to Best Buy. I know you were all hoping for one of the 64-inch televisions she always gives away.

I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. My New Years Resolution is to help ... SPREAD KINDNESS! I want everyone to think about how they can be kind to one another. Do you know how much the elderly, or anyone really, appreciate the door being opened for them – you may not know, so give it a try. Their smile will make your day. Try shoveling your neighbor’s porch or check in on them while it is bitterly cold or if they are sick. Bring old blankets to the humane society so they can use them in the kennels of animals who need homes. The smallest gesture can turn someone else’s day into something great and just maybe they will repay with kindness to the next person they see.

Well that is it. My New Years Resolution is very important to me and I hope you all can share it with me.

Every act of kindness brings us all together as a closer community – even if it is just a smile to someone who is sporting a frown. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

LETTERS

Letter of appreciation To the Editor: On behalf of the Addison Central School District (ACSD) community, we would like to formally thank the volunteer members of the Middlebury Lions Club for sponsoring the 2016-2017 vision program.

The Lions Club commitment to eye health has been strong since their founding in 1917.

Since then members have been actively involved in projects worldwide that strive to prevent blindness, and improve sight.

This year, at schools throughout ACSD, local Lions Club members provided students in grades pre-K through 12, no-cost vision screenings using a photo

Publisher’s Column

What is your New Years Resolution? hat does that mean... New Years Resolution? Well, it is the simple choice to modify something in your life that may need changing. Not everyone makes one and if they do – odds are, they don’t stick to it. This year my resolution is to stick to my resolution. How complicated could that be, right?

Resting my rear end on the oversized cushions of my couch dressed in my favorite pajamas, I pondered the thought of what my resolution should be this year. With pen in hand and notebook in lap, I wrote down a few thoughts.

Thought one ... exercise?

“Ha!” I blurted out to myself. Been there, done that. After the first 5 minutes on my treadmill I am bored out of my mind counting down the minutes until I hit that one mile mark.

Maybe I could take an intense workout class? That could be fun ... or not! Sure sounds like a lot of sweat would be involved. Who likes to sweat anyway? I mean I like sweatpants, but real sweat? I think I will pass!

I could try yoga — that seems low key, but then again, a foot behind my head trying to balance on one leg? Seems a little farfetched for me! We’ll just go ahead and scratch that one off the list.

Moving on ... if exercise is out of the question maybe I should just eat healthier. We’ve all said it before.

I will stop eating bread, pasta, chips — yup, I said chips. I will add more fruits and veggies to the mix.

That doesn’t sound so bad, right? I love sweet potato fries even more then regular fries. I wish I was eating them right now with my dad’s homemade honey mustard sauce. Yum. Actually... you know what goes really good with sweet potato fries? Cheeseburgers!

You know, the kind where they are juicy with lettuce,

digital device called a SPOT. Formerly, nurses spent many hours screening students’ vision using charts.

This method proved time consuming and left room for error. With the SPOT screener, volunteers were able to efficiently and accurately screen over 1,200 students at schools in Middlebury, Weybridge, Cornwall, Ripton, Salisbury, Shoreham and Bridport and produce a hard-coPY of the students’ detailed results.

This information was easily shared with the families and/or physicians of the students needing further evaluation.

e’ve heard it before but it continues to be relevant today, “A house divided against itself can not stand”.

That quote used by President Lincoln in the heat of our nation’s civil war has roots as far back as biblical times. The simple truth is when we’ve had enough fighting, death, destruction and tearing ourselves apart what we are left with is the same place we have today only far worse off.

Dan Alexander The solution to our differences will nevThoughts from er be accomplished by a fight to the death, Behind the Pressline nor complete polarization, nor protests in the streets to bringing the country to a stand still.

It starts and ends right back at our very beginning with the United States Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our elected form of democracy.

Those are the only tools that will raise our country up to a better version of itself and unite her people behind the truth and morale conduct we all agree to accept as the norm.

We’ve all heard about the horrific crime committed last week in Chicago by four young Americans who kidnapped an eighteen year old with diminished mental capacity. He was beaten, tortured and humiliated on live video with racial and political overtones.

What was gained by anyone, anywhere for anything as a result of this crime?

Other than destroying five lives, nothing was accomplished. Thankfully no one was killed but none of those individuals may ever be able to undo what occurred.

I fear it’s only the tip of the iceberg if we keep going down this divisive road and it won’t stop until we’ve driven the nation to the point of destruction.

Even during the Cold War with the Soviet Union we understood the policy of Detente, a French word meaning release from tension, where both counties understood the basic reality that for the world to survive they had to find solutions to improve their relations and coexist. Doubts and fear kept us pitted against each other, but in the end both sides understood there was a line not to be crossed.

Sooner or later we will put political antics aside and discover a better find ways to govern with fairness and equity for all or this nation as we know it will not survive.

So why wait? Inauguration day is on Friday next week and instead of protest rallies and civil disobedience events, let’s try solving our differences now before more lives and greater damage is inflicted in an already tumultuous environment.

Let’s give unity and the new administration a chance. If not now when?

Four years or eight years from now? The anger, gridlock, economy and world stability will only get far worse if we don’t take corrective steps…. NOW! — Dan Alexander is associate publisher of New Market Press. He may be reached at dan@newmarketpressvt.com

ARC evening a resounding success Letter to the Editor: On Sunday, Dec. 13, ARC Rutland Area and the Elks Club co-sponsored an afternoon of dining and dancing for almost 130 members, families and friends of ARC-Rutland Area.

The weather played a factor in keeping some folks away from a great event; 165 had RSVP’d. ARC Rutland Area works with individuals with developmental disabilities and their families to be regarded as valued citizens with the same entitlements as non-disabled individuals. We all enjoyed a tasty and filling pasta dinner, cake for dessert, plenty of beverages, dancing, gifts and great Christmas music, from DJ Penguin Productions, as well as a visit from Santa. Yes, Santa reigned the hall with bells a-sounding, and hugs abounding. What can replace a smile and a hug from an old friend? Another one!

The day was filled with many smiles and hugs from party goers as we greeted each other with the excitement of Christmas worn on our faces.

Special thanks must go to the General Electric Employees Community Concerns Fund (GEECCF) and the folks at the Elks Lodge: Carolyn Ravenna – Lodge Trustee; Brian Gaura – Lodge Secretary; Pat Farley – Club Manager; Dave Sears – Kitchen Chairman; Sherry Beaudreau, Patty Carbine, Chris Kiefer Cioffi – Elks Kitchen Crew; Terry Stevens and Bobby Paquette – drink servers and Peter Kelada, John Dunlap, Jackie Gauthier – helped serve dinner. A lot of time, energy and care were given to provide our community with this event.

The dinner dance is our largest in terms of people attending.

Our thanks also go out to our other Christmas contributors: GEECCF, Rotary Club of Rutland, and Moose Lodge #1122; who generously donated to form this event into a seasonal success! What a wonderful and giving community the Rutland Area is and what a pleasure it is to be able to extend that level of spirit to so many people in one room.

Your kind acts created an enormous amount of joy this holiday season. Our impact survey show how lives are better off; 100 percent survey takers answered yes to three of the questions: 1) I feel like I am part of a community when at a dance, 2) Mixing with others improves my social skills, and 3) I am happy to have something fun to do.

We need to be sure that people know that ARC Rutland Area serves citizens with developmental disabilities and needs to continue receiving funding to do so. It is with much joy, that we say thank you to our Christmas Dinner Dance sponsors and to let the public know that we are here for folks with developmental disabilities and their families. We offer not only dances, but also a Representative Payee program, a Self Advocacy group, an Aktion Club, and the Rutland Family Support Network. Help us share the value of the work we do in the betterment of people’s lives; on the survey people also checked off: “more active lifestyle”, “gained knowledge about services available” and “having fun”.

Civil Rights Activist Penny Patch to speak JOHNSON — Penny Patch, who was active in the 1960s with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), a civil rights group, will be the keynote speaker at Johnson State College’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day observance Jan. 16.

The event, which will include remarks by JSC President Elaine Collins and a performance by the JSC Chorale, will begin at 11 a.m. at the Dibden Center for the Arts. It’s free and open to the public.

Patch, a longtime nurse midwife, became the first white woman to work on a SNCC project in the South in 1962, while

she was a student at Swarthmore College.

The MLK day event reinforces the campus commitment to diversity and inclusion, social justice and community service.

President Collins was among the state education and business leaders who signed a statement to affirm Vermont’s commitment to equity, diversity and inclusiveness.

Related initiatives this academic year include the college’s 1% Challenge, which encourages JSC community members to commit to donating 1 percent of their average work time – about 10 hours a semester – to community service.

POLICE NOTES

And last semester, flags were installed on campus in support of several social justice causes.

“Understanding diversity is important because our community — on campus, in Johnson, in Vermont, in America — is made up of many histories and perspectives which deserve equal consideration,” JSC Director of Residence Life Jeff Bickford said.

He co-chairs the campus Diversity Task Force, which is coordinating the King day event with the support of JSC’s Office of First-Year Experience.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Something extraordinary

O

n Jan. 8, 1946 — 71 years ago last Sunday — a woman named Gladys Presley bought a $6.95 guitar at a hardware store in Tupelo, Mississippi.

She gave it to her beloved son — an 11 year old named Elvis Presley.

This seemingly mundane act would later become a notable event in history.

Here’s the thing: when Gladys Presley bought that guitar for her son, she had no idea that it would kickstart what would later become a lifelong career for her son — much less the “birth” of rock and roll.

Every little thing — from buying your child a guitar, to speaking up when someone does wrong, to stepping on stage at an open mic night, to penning an impassioned blog post — contributes to the story of humanity in a minute, oftentimes insignificant way.

Sometimes, it’s the beginning of something extraordinary.

Pack The Paramount revamped to increase impact on hunger “Newly”wed Game promises laughs and surprises

RUTLAND — With an eye toward significantly increasing its impact on donations and public awareness of hunger issues, organizers of one of Rutland County’s largest annual food drives are completely revamping the signature event.

Pack The Paramount, which has annually collected tons of food to fill seats at The Paramount Theatre and ultimately the Rutland Community Cupboard, BROC Food Shelf and Salvation Army, is changing names and focus: It will now be known as Pack The Paramount – The “Newly”wed Game Rutland.

“Instead of bags of food, we will aim to fill The Paramount with people for a fun, entertaining evening of laughs,” said GMP Vice President Steve Costello, one of the organizers.

“With the Vermont Food Bank now in Rutland, we’re turning our attention to raising funds so the food shelves can buy exactly what they want – at prices well below retail.”

Carpenter and Costin and The Vermont Country Store join GMP, The Paramount and Mix 98.1-WJJR as presenting sponsors for Pack The Paramount – The “Newly”wed Game Rutland. Special thanks for their significant contributions, along with all sponsors and supporters: O’Brien Shortle Reynolds and Sabotka PC, Rutland Regional Medical Center, Diamonds

and More, Peg and Joe Kraus, Heritage Family Credit Union, Lyz Tomsuden Design, Asplundh Tree Experts, Dave and Lyn Wolk, Steve and Jane Costello, the Giancola Family of Businesses, Park Place Florist, LaFlamme’s Furniture Mall, and Best Western Inn & Suites.

“Building a strong community is a key focus of our business,” said Carpenter & Costin co-owner Russ Marsan. “We jumped at the opportunity to become a lead presenter of this event, and look forward to helping build it into an annual highlight of the community calendar, with a significantly larger impact over time.”

“For over 70 years, The Vermont Country Store has demonstrated that neighbor-helping-neighbor creates lasting improvement in our communities,” said Eliot Orton, who is a third-generation proprietor of the family business. “We’ve supported Pack the Paramount with donations of food since it began, and we applaud the organizers for working together and trying a new approach to keep the local issue of hunger at the forefront.”

Terry Jaye, program manager at Catamount Radio, WJJR’s owner, said the change represented a natural progression for Pack The Paramount after more than a decade. “This event, like the Gift-of-Life Marathon and Walk A Mile, is focused equally on raising awareness of issues and addressing them,” Jaye said. “We think the new model will have people talking more than ever about the event, which will bring a lot more attention to the issue of hunger in Rutland County.”

The annual event, which will be held on the Saturday closest to Valentine’s Day, Feb. 11 at 7:30 p.m., will feature eight couples from all walks of life competing on stage in a local version of the popular television game show. They range from true newlyweds to one couple celebrating more than 55 years of marriage. Comedian and magician Tom Joyce will host.

The couples include Gwen and Joel Flewelling, Tom and Tricia Huebner, Ed and Fran Kelly, Peg and Joe Kraus, Brent and Amanda Godnick, Ryan and Rebecca Buonadonna, Rich and Jess Cowden, and Angelo and Bessie Centini. Four couples each will square off in two rounds, with the top two couples from each group competing in the finals.

Attendees can renew their vows at the event, and have a chance to win prizes, including a pair of Diamond earrings from Diamonds and More. Children may attend, but parents are reminded that the night’s content may not be suitable for all ages.

“This is going to be an incredibly fun event, with a lot of laughs, tenderness and surprises,” said Paramount Programming Director Eric Mallette. “Like the original TV show, the only thing that will be predictable will be that it is unpredictable – and that people will be talking about it for weeks afterward.”

Tickets are available now at The Paramount Theatre Box Office, by calling 775-0903, or at www.paramountvt.org. All proceeds will be divided between the three food shelves to help local residents in times of need.

Queen City icon turns 200

By Cassandra Loucy office@addison-eagle.com

BURLINGTON — A well-known Burlington icon celebrates its 200th birthday this year. The Unitarian Church, originally known as “The Brick Meeting House” stands tall at the top of Church Street in downtown Burlington. Meeting this two century milestone makes it the oldest remaining place of worship left in Burlington.

In 1814, members of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Burlington — then known as the First Congregational Society of Burlington — purchased a five acre lot of land for $1,000 on which to

build a meeting house. Construction began in May, 1816 after plans were developed by architects — unusual as most churches were built independently without having an architect formally involved.

The building was finished in late December and a dedication service took place Jan. 9, 1817.

The timbers for the roof of the structure came from Brown’s River Valley, the bricks were locally made, and all the nails were hammered by hand.

The decision was made to build the church out of brick versus the more traditional wood of churches in New England at the time. This choice contributed in part to the longevity of the building, as many wooden churches can begin to decay over time.

The grand total for the construction of the church was $22,185.34.

The church is considered the most photographed landmark in the Queen City, according to those who have studied the history of the church, and is a popular location for people to snap a “selfie.”

Along with the Masonic Temple and the Richardson Building, the church is part of the “Head of Church Street” historic district. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 15, 1974.

Members of the church, which is part of the Unitarian Universalist Association, celebrated this historic milestone Sunday with a special rededication service to honor the 200 years.

More phone scams reported From News & Staff Reports office@addison-eagle.com

RUTLAND — Vermont’s utilities follow clear state rules when working with customers about paying past due bills and do not demand credit card information or alternate payment mechanisms from a customer for any purpose.

That’s why Vermont’s three largest utilities are joining together to alert customers that scammers regularly make calls threatening disconnection if payment is not made immediately, and those calls have increased recently.

One customer ran into GMP’s office in Rutland after receiving such a call, alarmed that his restaurant might be

disconnected while serving lunch.

“We would never make a call threatening immediate disconnection if credit card information is not given immediately,” said Dorothy Schnure, spokesperson for Green Mountain Power. “We work with customers who are having difficulty paying a bill. If a customer has any doubt about the legitimacy of a call, we encourage them to hang up and call our listed number for any questions about their account status.”

If customers receive any call with such a demand they should follow these steps: • Do not provide payment or any other personal information; • Do not engage with the caller;

Chani I. Biser

• Immediately hang up; • Do not call back the number; and • Call your utility’s customer service number (GMP 888-835-4672, BED 802-865-7300, VEC 802-635-2331) to report the occurrence and to share any information you are able to provide, including name of the caller, caller’s phone number, and substance of the call.

Further, customers receiving such a call are encouraged to report this scam by contacting the Vermont Attorney General’s Office Consumer Assistance Program at 800.649.2424 (in-state only) or 802.656.3183 (from out of state numbers) or by visiting www.uvm.edu/consumer.

House catches fire in Waltham ... twice WALTHAM — On Dec. 29 the Vergennes Fire Department responded to a 911 call from 1643 Green Street in Waltham.

Mirabai Verner-Lust called to report her house was filled with smoke and on fire. Upon arrival the fire department found a 2-foot by 2-foot area of carpet had been burned in the living room. The fire was quickly extinguished and the smoke alarms were equipped with new batteries to alarm the occupants of a fire. It is unknown, according to the occupant, how this fire may have started.

On Dec. 30, at approximately 2 p.m. the Vergennes Fire Department returned to the same residence when a passing motorist noticed fire coming from the front porch area of the house.

Fire Investigators from the Vermont State Police and the Division of Fire Safety responded to determine the origin and cause of the fire. The fire was determined to have started on

the outside porch area of the home, near the front entrance.

Verner-Lust was sleeping when the fire was noticed and called in to 911. Verner-Lust was transported to Porter Hospital in Middlebury for minor injuries she sustained while escaping from the home. Damage estimates to the house are not available at this time, but smoke, soot and water damage to the interior are extensive and the house cannot be safely occupied at this time.

Anyone having any information regarding this fire is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Todd Ambroz of the Vermont State Police at 878-7111 or any member of the Vergennes Police Department.

The Vermont Arson Tip Award Program (VATAP) also offers an award of up to $5,000 for information which leads to the arrest of the person(s) who are involved in an arson fire – 1-800-322-7766.

Radio station plays controversial Christmas carol

By Gail Callahan Special to the Eagle

RUTLAND — A Christmas carol that’s on the playlist of a Rutland radio station is causing waves.

The station, 105.3 Cat Country Radio, is playing “Foreigners,” a song on a satirical album, Twisted Christmas.

It’s an overhaul of the Christian hymn, Gloria in Excelsis Deo, Latin for “Glory to God in the highest.”

The song’s lyrics note: “We want to be Americans, but we’re illegal aliens.…”

Cat Country Radio Station General Manager Glenda Hawley didn’t return a phone call, requesting comment.

The timing of the station’s decision to play the song troubles some Rutland- area residents. The city is slated

to welcome early next month refugees from war-torn Syria and Iraq.

The decision to accept the refugees caused controversy in the city, and some are concerned about timing.

The law firm, Meub Gallivan & Larson, decided to pull its advertising from the radio station. Attorney Chris Larson made that decision. He

RUTLAND — On Nov. 16, troopers from the Vermont State Police Rutland Barracks stopped a vehicle on East Street in Rutland City for a motor vehicle violation.

The operator was identified as Chani I. Biser, 22, of Rutland.

Hippo

Continued from page 1 on Church Street. As the son of business owners, Martin has grown up seeing what is necessary to run a successful small business. Keeping local economies strong is very important to him, so when the Paisley Hippo came up for sale, he jumped at the opportunity to own a business he has known for years.

When asked if he has any immediate plans to change the Paisley Hippo as the new owner, Martin responded with a “definitely not.” He plans to keep everything as consistent as possible, since the small sandwich shop already has such a strong following. Both the employees and menu will remain the same.

He does however have some ideas for the future to make this great shop even better. In the short time since he has taken ownership, Martin has already begun visiting other local businesses to introduce himself, and offer the option of business lunch deliveries.

Drawing inspiration from Michelle Obama’s desire to get healthy foods into schools, Martin would also like to work with local schools and student athletes in particular to make fresh, healthy, and fill-

www.addision-eagle.com

ing lunches accessible. Martin is a former South Burlington high school athlete, and he also occasionally helps his father, who is the varsity soccer coach there. He feels that often student athletes are not getting the right foods or the proper amount of calories needed to realize their full potential on the field. He would like to partner with the local schools to remedy this.

Although it can be difficult to utilize locally grown ingredients year-round in Vermont, the Paisley Hippo does use several local suppliers for some of its ingredients. The shop’s turkey, ham, and roast beef come from Vermont company McKenzie Country Classics, and its cheeses are supplied by Cabot. They also source some of their products from Kimball Brook Farm in Ferrisburgh. While obtaining local produce is often tricky in a state like Vermont, the shop does use tomatoes and other veggies from local farmers whenever available. Often local farmers will bring in what is in season--whether it’s butternut squash or cauliflower--and the Paisley Hippo will use it to make soups or other dishes to take advantage of the fresh ingredients.

Currently the Paisley Hippo is closed Sundays and Mondays, and is open 11-8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Martin would like to eventually open six or seven

days a week, and expressed interest in opening later on Fridays and Saturdays to capitalize on some weekend dinner traffic as well.

Although as Martin mentions, “you need to walk before you can run,” he would love to expand and open other locations someday. He feels a sandwich shop like this with high quality ingredients at reasonable prices would do great in locations like South Burlington.

Martin expressed a great deal of gratitude toward John and Karen, the former owners of Paisley Hippo. He said he’s grateful that they have provided him with this opportunity to follow his dream of becoming a business owner, and said he also appreciates and acknowledges the hard work that they have put into building such a strong business from scratch. Martin said that John taught him a lot about the busieness, and said he knows this insight will be valuable as he embarks on the journey as owner.

With exuberantly named sandwiches like “The Pastraminator” and “Tina Tuner” on the menu, the bright orange walls, and the tie-dye clad employees, the Paisley Hippo — located in the Commerce Street Plaza in Hinesburg — is a unique and delicious place to grab lunch.

Grants available through the McClure Foundation MIDDLEBURY — The J. Warren & Lois McClure Foundation has announced available funding for the 2017-18 school year to support projects that create systemic improvement in the access all Vermonters have to postsecondary and career education. A supporting organization of the Vermont Community Foundation, the McClure Foundation envisions a Vermont where no promising job goes unfilled for lack of a qualified applicant.

The McClure Foundation’s primary interest is in funding projects with statewide impact that are aligned with multisector postsecondary attainment or workforce development efforts. Grant awards range from $10,000 to $60,000. For the 2017-18 school year, McClure Foundation funding will prioritize projects that accomplish one or more of the following: encourage equal access to career and technical education programs that articulate pathways to further education and training; promote postsecondary attainment for low-income students, first-generation college students, adult learners and/ or veterans—particularly those enrolled in the Vermont State Colleges; further the equitable implementation of recent state legislation including the Flexible Pathways Initiative; and build partnerships between employers and academic institutions.

Nonprofits and municipal entities interested in applying for funding can submit a Letter of Interest (LOI) by 5 p.m. Feb. 6, 2017. Additional information about the grant round is available at www.mcclurevt.org.
