SUPREME COURT LISTENS TO ACT 46 CASE IN MIDDLEBURY

Leaders worry about policies that hurt Vermonters

M I D D L E BU RY | T he outcome of a Vermont Supreme Court hearing, held at Middlebury College on Jan. 15, will likely decide the fate of controversial Act 46, the state’s school-merger law.

While the judges won’t rule on the case for weeks, possibly months, education officials, parents, high school students, and other stakeholders were in attendance at the public hearing held in the college’s McCullough Student Center.

After a public hearing held at Middlebury College Jan. 15, Vermont Supreme Court justices will decide the fate of Act 46 sometime in the new year.

High taxes, fuel costs still plague low income earners

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | Several Vermont lawmakers and community leaders are expressing concerns that harsh state policies, rules and regulations continue to negatively affect the lives and livelihoods of lower income Vermonters. The policies may also contribute to the demographic crisis mentioned by Gov. Phil Scott’s recent State of the State Address.

According to Rep. Pattie McCoy (R-Poultney), the State House minority leader, many Vermonters are struggling to make ends meet.

“High taxes, skyrocketing insurance premiums, escalating utility costs, and more, are keeping many stuck in a crisis of affordability,” McCoy said last week. “At the same time, small businesses that have been the bedrock of our towns and villages are struggling with excessive regulations, a labor force shortage, and intense competition from tax-friendly states like New Hampshire. It is no wonder so many Vermonters are leaving our state.”

McCoy thinks this downward spiral in Vermont can be reversed.

Educators, students, parents and other stakeholders in the Act 46 debate filled a Middlebury campus auditorium for a special Vermont Supreme Court hearing on the law.

Many in attendance were there to get their fi rst look at the state’s five-member supreme court bench. Others were there to better understand the issue as well as the arguments for and against it.

The public hearing focused on the case of Athens School District (and others) versus the Vermont Board of Education. The school district’s case against forced mergers was presented to the court by Vermont attorney David Kelley.

Assistant Attorney General David Boyd represented the Board of Education in defending the law’s constitutionality.

More than 30 school boards are represented in the “Athens” lawsuit.

Both attorneys argued vigorously, for and against, often citing arcane sections of the law including the history of the law as well as specific lawmakers involved in craft ing

Act 46 leading up to it being signed into law

by Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) in June 2015.

Visibly nervous in front of the bench and with the campus auditorium fi lled with over 200 attendees, Kelley never-the-less articulately argued the school district’s antimerger case along state constitutional lines.

He demonstrated that the civilian board created by the legislature to enforce Act 46 has extra-municipal powers that fall far outside what the Vermont Constitution describes. And because school districts are actually municipal governmental bodies, with their own elected officials, an unelected body deciding the fate of school merges is unconstitutional.

Boyd vigorously defended the constitutionality of the law; he stressed that the Act 46 board and the process are a democratic process. During the defense, he frequently consulted a large, three-ring binder volume

of the law and was able to cite, chapter and verse, why the Board of Education believes the law is constitutional.

“The state legislature decided there was a statewide problem that needed to be addressed,” Boyd said. “(In 2015, when the law went into effect) there was declining enrollment that was unevenly distributed around the state.”

In arguing against Act 46, Kelley told the judges that the school-merger law challenges the constitutional rights of local voters to decide on how to handle their local schools. A centralized, appointed authority making the decisions did not sound like “democracy” to Kelley. He was also puzzled about the intent of Act 46 and how it is being implemented statewide.

“The understanding was (as the law so states…that) if it’s not necessary to merge you, if you are indeed an affordable school with good outcomes, then this bill seeks to leave you alone,” he said. None of the justices found fault with Kelley’s reading of Act 46’s intent.

In reaction to Kelley and one justice’s comment about an appointed board deciding the mergers, Boyd reacted with confidence.

“This is fundamentally a democratic process,” he told the justices. “The state legislature decided there was a statewide problem it needed to address (and) that there was declining enrollment that was unevenly distributed around the state.”

After nearly 90 minutes, the gavel sounded and the justices left the stage. Their decision will be announced in the coming weeks. ■

MIDDLEBURY | First it was nuclear, then coal.

Now, wind power is on the chopping block in NIMBY Vermont.

Last week, officials of Dairy Air Wind, the last remaining wind energy project being developed in Vermont, announced the ending of all development activities surrounding the project.

Project partner, multi-millionaire David Blittersdorf of Hinesburg cited Vermont’s hostile to wind energy as the leading cause for the death of the project.

Dairy Air Wind was intended to be a single-turbine project sited in a cornfield on the Champney family’s 450-acre dairy farm in Holland, Vermont.

“In 2012, there were over a dozen wind projects in development. Now there are none. This is truly a sad state of affairs for Vermont,” said Blittersdorf.

“Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. We must combat the carbon emissions crisis and move to a renewable energy based future.

We simply can’t do this without wind energy as part of the mix. Anyone who tells you otherwise either doesn’t understand the science, or is lying.”

According to Vermont activist Annette Smith, “In no way did the PUC or Governor Scott do anything to disadvantage Blittersdorf’s case.

Blittersdorf chose not to meet the requirements that every other wind developer at the time was required to meet. If anyone is to blame for this project failing, it is David Blittersdorf.” ■

Vermont’s Dairy Air Wind project came to end last week. It was Vermont’s last, large-scale wind energy project. Statewide opposition has put an end to wind power in the state.

My favorite game is to chase balls, you toss and I will fetch. I have many of the terrier mix traits, chasing cats or small animals is one of them. I love to go for a walk but please make sure I have my harness on because I like to pull, my family just doesn’t seem to walk fast enough for me. If given the chance I will run off and not come back until I am ready. I am a high energy guy so get ready for lots of walks and play time. I arrived at the shelter on December 26 because my owner could no longer care for me. I was sad for a few days but I am ready to move onto my forever home.

I do sometimes still have accidents in the home and I am crate trained. I would suggest having me in a crate when I am left alone.

“By can provide tax relief, reverse our demographic trends, invest in workforce development, boost support for both early care and higher-education (including tech ed), modernize state government, ‘incentivize’ affordable housing investments, expand access to high-speed internet, and pursue reforms to tackle both health care and utility expenses.”

McCoy is concerned about things such as carbon taxes and other extreme environmental moves that make Vermont even less affordable than it is already.

The carbon tax,says McCoy, grows the economic divide between urban and rural Vermont, and adds to the cost of living and doing business.

McCoy quoted former Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas of Middlebury to sum up her concerns.

“Governor Douglas once said, ‘the choice we face today is not a choice between jobs or the environment. It is a choice between both or neither. I believe in a third way – the Vermont Way – that recognizes the codependence of our economy and our environment.’” Vermonters cannot afford a carbon tax.

Improvements coming to Mt. Philo State Park

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

CHARLOTTE | After nearly a decade of studies and work with considerable public input, the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation (FPR) has completed its long-range management plan (LRMP) for Mt. Philo State Park, located just east of U.S. Route 7, in Charlotte.

According to Elle O’Casey of the Agency of Natural Resources, “the new plan will guide the long-term management and stewardship of the area’s natural resources and human use.

Work on the Mt. Philo plan has been a lengthy process, during which several public input meetings were held and the plan underwent multiple revisions to incorporate public feedback.”

In a news release, O’Casey noted that “the design project... will likely include expanded parking at the entrance and enhanced wayfinding and accessibility near the summit in addition to other potential improvements. FPR expects to have potential designs ready to share and solicit public feedback about later this spring.”

Timber and Stone, LLC, from East Montpelier, was hired to develop

McCoy likes the idea of enacting a sales tax holiday on the purchase of hybrid vehicles and EVs. She also wants to modify the Vermont Employment Growth Incentive program to support businesses that are mission based or focused on clean water technology, among others. She thinks setting long-term steps to transition a greater percentage of the state’s vehicle fleet to EV and hybrid vehicles s a good idea. “(We also need to) reform the Act 250 process so that permit appeals that are not based on legitimate environmental concerns do not backlog the Environmental Court,” she added.

Former Lt. Gov. Don Turner has also gotten into the debate about policies versus affordability.

“Despite a strong economy at the national level, many Vermonters feel left behind,” Turner said. “...From burdensome taxes to sky-high insurance premiums, many individuals, families, and small businesses are stuck in a persistent economic cycle they didn’t create. Small towns and villages that have been the economic anchors for our regional centers are stagnant. And all of these challenges are compounded by a demographic crisis that threatens to

a design relating to the park’s trail system. The fi rm will be begin work this spring.

“Through the LRMP development process, a number of issues came to light that clearly require yet more planning, design and input,” Parks Regional Manager Reuben Allen said.

“Ongoing communication and collaboration with our community partners and park users is critical to our success at Mt. Philo and elsewhere, and just because the plan is complete doesn’t mean the process of designing needed improvements to the park is going to stop. As we move forward, we welcome feedback and ideas for us to continue to improve our ability to serve those who enjoy our unmatched park system.”

State data sources show that during the 2019 season, Mt. Philo had 68,638 visitors between Memorial Day weekend and Oct. 20; this represents a 30% increase from 2018. And just a decade ago, the park’s attendance had already nearly doubled from the 1990s.

The park is the oldest unit in Ver mont ’s state pa rk s y stem.

Geologically, Mt. Philo is a remnant island of prehistoric Lake Vermont.

During the 1930s, state geologists discovered an outcrop of fossil beach sand near the highway. ■

further shrink our working-age population.”

Turner said there doesn’t have to be a choice between an affordable state or a clean environment.

“I believe we can enact solutions that recognize the codependence of our environment on our economy,”he said. “We can achieve both goals if we adopt a carrots-not-sticks mentality that emphasizes incentives and common-sense approaches, as opposed to excessive taxes or unrealistic mandates.”

Turner cited a few examples.

“We can and should fund the proposed VHIP program to combine affordable housing incentives with weatherization upgrades, in order to make blighted properties livable and energy-efficient,”he said. “We can and should modify our state’s incentive programs to support Vermont businesses and entrepreneurs that focus on solutions to environmental problems. We can also demand policymakers do something about the millions of gallons of wastewater released by towns and cities into our waterways each year.

Ultimately, both McCoy and Turner agree that the Vermont environment must be protected.

“But we also can’t afford policies that, in an effort to strengthen our environment, wind up weakening our economy,” Turner added. “We must work together and put aside party labels to adopt policies that are both environmentally and economically sustainable.” ■

first approval for VEDA’s Broadband Expansion Loan Program, and an exciting new business accelerator project in the often neglected Northeast Kingdom area of the state.

“We had a strong quarter with continued demand for small business financing and projects like the Yellow Barn Business Accelerator in Hardwick,” said Cassie Polhemus, chief executive officer at VEDA. “The year ahead looks bright with a new loan program for the Northeast

Kingdom and the continued strong support from our lending and economic development partners around the state, all working hard to increase Vermont’s economic prosperity.”

Included in these VEDA approved loans is financing for Mending Wall, LLC, at Middlebury Family Health (MFH) in Addison County.

MFH is an independent primary care physician practice on South Street in Middlebury, across from UVM Porter Medical Center, you may

be familiar with.

Mending Wall purchased a new office space for future occupation through an affiliate real-estate holding company. This acquisition allows MFH to continue growing its independent, patient-focused practice.

VEDA partially financed this purchase along with National Bank of Middlebury.

What’s good for VEDA is good for the future of business in Vermont.

Thoughts from behind the pressline

Impeachment: Innocent or guilty?

By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER

Impeachment phase II has now begun.

While many believe they know beyond a shadow of a doubt which way the upcoming trial will turn out, the simple truth is with the wacky way partisan politics seems to be going these days, the real answer is, only time will tell.

We continue to witness the ratcheting up of hardball politics, with each move on the chess table. Both sides are forced to circle the wagons while moving farther left and right to protect the power they now enjoy.

As a kid growing up in the 1960s, I’m reminded of the conflict in Northern Ireland with the feud between the Catholics, who were Nationalists (right), and the Protestants Loyal Unionists (left).

The Protestants wanted the province to remain a part of the United Kingdom while the Catholics wanted the province to become part of the Republic of Ireland.

Caught in the middle, as peacekeepers, were the British Army and the Royal Ulster Constabulary viewing the escalating conflict as terrorism, while the IRA Irish Republican Army viewed the conflict as guerrilla warfare for national independence.

Those battles raged on, from 1968 to 1998, and ultimately ended, leading to a power-sharing arrangement in the Northern Ireland Assembly.

It seems odd today to think that two Christian sects, each embracing the core belief of “turning the other check”, could not get along, but it is not unlike what we are experiencing in a prosperous America today.

Could our conflict escalate similarly here at home? Well, think no further than the leftleaning, militant anti-fascists Antifa movement that materialized during the last election and will likely reemerge soon as our national election

The last fruitcake

My wife Sharon and I were married in June 1970 and in early December of that same year the first fruitcake arrived at our Grant Avenue Rutland, Vermont, apartment.

There hadn’t been any prior warning of a surprise or gift being sent our way. It just showed up one day standing between the screen and inside doors. Return address?

There was none, except upon inspection, one could see that the point of origin was Texas. Never been to Texas, didn’t know anyone who lived there and wasn’t aware that, apparently, Texas is the fruitcake center of the universe.

What do you do with a fruitcake?

What to do was the easy part. It came in a durable box and landed between our doors without so much as a dent so we used it as a door stopper.

Whenever company came we had a ready made conversation piece to greet them. We discovered that not only was it a good door-stopper and conversation piece but we could use it as a bolster seat in emergencies.

The saga of my “Last Fruitcake” begins at the Hotel Putnam in Bennington almost 40 years ago with the normal comings and goings of hotel guests. However, there were a handful of regular guests, mostly salesmen, with whom the hotel staff,myself included, became quite

kicks into high gear. While on the far right, we find groups like the neo-Nazis and the KKK always looking to stir up trouble.

In many ways, our political discontent has been brewing since the impeachment of President Clinton in 1999.

Cooler heads on either side have yet to appear, and anger seems to grow worse daily, ginned up by television talking heads and national media organizations.

When looking back in history, ours, as well as other political conflicts, unless something changes soon to unite the nation’s majority, our evenly divided nation is unfortunately headed for even darker days ahead.

Only time will tell where the guilt and innocence is found and how this period in our nation’s history will be looked upon by future generations when our history will be but a chapter in the past. ■ — Dan Alexander is the publisher of The Sun newspapers in New York and the Vermont Eagle.

familiar. Mr. Muscatello was a short round man whose smiling face was quite often hidden in a cloud of cigar smoke, always friendly. Frank Sigale, another salesman from the Rutland area, always with a joke or two. Other regulars at the hotel were drivers for St. Johnsbury Trucking or Gays’ Express. But of all the guests, there was one particular regular quest,a lawyer from New York City, whose name was R.W. Owens of Poultney and he, as circumstances would later reveal, was the mysterious benefactor.

I met Mr. Owens while working the night shift at the hotel. He was short in stature, always well groomed and in a business suit.

He called the hotel one day from the LSW Offices of Owens and Bentley on Exchange Street, in New York City, while I was working the front desk; he said that he stayed in his regular room the previous evening and lost a ring and although it was not terribly expensive “ it did have great sentimental value.” I told him that I would check his room and if I found his ring I would hold it for his next visit. Shortly, after that conversation I inspected his room and discovered his ring lodged in the sink drain.

Returning to the front desk, I put the ring in the rear of the cash drawer and never gave it a thought until Mr. Owens showed up a few weeks later.

I spotted Mr. Owens climbing the front steps to the hotel and I

went directly to the cash drawer and was holding it in a closed fist when he approached the desk.

When I opened my hand it was his eyes not the jewels that sparkled. I didn’t realize it then but I had literally made a friend for life.

It wasn’t long after I returned Mr. Owens’ ring that we exchanged addresses and I was off to college.

The initial surprise came at the beginning of my first semester in the form of a check from Mr. Owens, followed by similar checks arriving at the beginning of every semester for the next four years and bonus checks for making deans list.

During the spring of 1987, while filling-in as principal at the Orwell Village School I happened to pick up a copy of a local newspaper and glanced at the headlines, completely skipping the obituary section by habit. However, as I replaced the paper on the office desk I remembered the words of a friend who told me that: “It’s our duty to read the obituaries.” So I did and when R.W. Owens’ name

met my vision, I nearly fell down.

His funeral was that very evening.

The ride to Poultney was a quiet one; I was remembering Mr. Owens from the hotel of so many years ago, thinking of my friend’s advice, and recognizing: had I not performed my “duty” I would not have been able to pay last respects to this man who has helped me for years. That would have been terrible.

At the funeral, I learned that Mr. Owens, having retired from the bench and while working part-time at Bentley and Owens, was struck down by a truck while crossing a New York City street. He passed away a week later from the injuries. My benefactor was in his early 90s at the time of his passing.

It was at the funeral that I also discovered it was, indeed, Mr. Owens who was the mysterious fruitcake sender.

Today, Mr. Owens continues to be a part of my memories of youth. ■ — Writer Tom Pinsonneault lives in Orwell, Vermont.

The iceman cometh

Vermonters Peter Grace and Grace Brigham will share the art, history, and lore of North Country ice cutting on Sunday, Jan. 26, at the Russellville Schoolhouse in Shrewsbury from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The program is free, with donations to support the story sharing Root Words project. Learn and try you hand at ice cutting. Refreshments will be served at the schoolhouse, located at 18 Crown Point Rd. in Shrewsbury.

Starting in the early 19th century, Vermont’s natural resource of winter pond and lake ice spawned an international ice business before the invention of refrigeration.

Ice made by nature was shipped abroad to places like India and Europe during the 1800s, after being cut from cold country lakes in Vermont, Quebec and Ontario.

Some older people today remember heft y ice blocks being lugged with tongs to the doors of homes and apartments and placed in ice boxes by burly deliverymen.

LNA students graduate in Middlebury Hannford Career Center

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | Officials of the Patricia A Hannaford Career Center Adult Education Program in Middlebury announced that several students recently completed the Licensed Nurse Assistant certificate program during 2019 and were licensed by the Vermont State Board of Nursing.

Kayla McCoy, Dakota Odell, Marie Jones, Sabra Edwards, Lashelle Merker, and Kayla Hoffman.

Students who completed their LNA training in December will be testing in the next few weeks.

According to Len Schmidt, head of Adult Technical Education and Coop Coordinator, “Successful participants in this program learn the basics of assisting patients, body mechanics, ethics, medical scope of practice, and communication in the medical setting.

“Completion requires that students demonstrate proficiency in recognizing several life-threatening emergencies, administering CPR and using an AED, performing essential patient care procedures, and pass written and practical exams to demonstrate their knowledge and ability,“ Schmidt noted.

Schmidt noted that the Hannford Career Center will be offering LNA trainings for interested students starting Jan. 21 and again on March 16. ■

LINCOLN | On Dec. 28, 2019, Vermont State Police (VSP) Bureau of Criminal Investigations detective troopers were notified of a complaint in the town of Lincoln involving lewd or lascivious conduct with a child and luring.

As a result of the subsequent investigative actions, including multiple interviews, probable cause was found to believe that actions by Walter Hutton, 35, of Pinellas County, Florida, with a child were lewd or lascivious and that he attempted to lure the same child. At the time of the initial report, Hutton was found to have returned to Florida. Due to this fact, and seriousness of the allegations, an arrest warrant was sought and granted by the Vermont Superior Court. Extradition from anywhere in the United States back to Vermont was also granted by request.

On Jan. 13, Hutton was located and taken into custody by members of the Pinellas County Florida Sheriff’s Office without incident. The extradition process will begin at a time to be determined. ■

Welcome to the 2020 Vermont Farm Show

Three days of exhibitors, demonstrations, ag education, “Cook Off”.

By Steve Mease SPECIAL TO THE EAGLE

The annual Vermont Farm Show returns to the Champlain Valley Exposition in Chittenden County on Jan. 28-30.

The annual statewide gathering celebrates Vermont’s agriculture, farms, products, and organizations.

The three-day trade show also features exhibits of new equipment, farm supplies, food producers and agriculture education opportunities.

The event is free and open to the public, according to Jackie Folsom, manager of the Vermont Farm Show. “This is a great time to preview products and machinery and network with Vermont’s farming community. Plus it is a great place for families to learn about agriculture and job-seekers to make connections,” she added.

The Vermont Farm Show’s hours are: Tuesday, Jan. 28 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Wednesday, Jan. 29 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Thursday, Jan. 30 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Association meetings play a big part in the Vermont Farm Show. This year’s participating associations include the VT/ NH Christmas Tree, Vermont Beekeepers, the Future Farmers of America, and the Vermont Dairy Industry.

Handspun fibers, jellies, silage, pies, and many other agricultural products will be judged and on display as part of the annual product competitions. For a full list of product competitions and entry rules, visit http://www.vtfarmshow.com/2020-product-contests.html.There will also be some great animals on display, including, a Morgan horse, sheep, and birds.

The always popular Consumer Night is Wednesday, Jan. 30, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Vermont Farm Show. Food enthusiasts will enjoy the Buy Local Market, which will showcase

The “Capital Cook-off,” an Iron Chef-type competition featuring the Vermont House of Representatives, Senate, and Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets, is another highlight. Teams will have 90 minutes to create a dish using Vermont products bought at the adjacent Buy Local Market.

Visitors will have time to taste and purchase Vermont products from the exhibitors while waiting for the Cook-off winners to be announced.

Farmers receive sustainability funds MIDDLEBURY | This year’s annual Vermont Farm Show brings lots of news and happenings for the local agricultural community.

Recently, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets announced the availability of up to $90,000 of funding to assist eligible local farmers and food businesses to make upgrades to their operations and improve the sustainability of their businesses.

Awards range from $2,000 to $5,000.

“These important dollars are targeted at making food safer while making farming more affordable. There is a major federal change underway in the produce safety world and the Agency wants Vermont farmers to be equipped and prepared for that change.

These grants will help our farmers,“ said Secretary Anson Tebbetts.

Funding provided through the USDA

Come Join Us at the

2020 Vermont Farm Show

Specialty Crop Block Grant Program and the Castanea Foundation, LLC, has been available previously.

Funding is available to assist Vermont farmers, businesses, and value-chain facilitators for projects that address challenges and risks associated with scaling up to meet new market demands.

To qualify for funding consideration, applicants must either be a Vermont producer in pursuit of institutional or direct retail market development, or a value-chain facilitator that will directly support Vermont producers’ access to institutional and wholesale market expansion.

Questions about grants should be directed to 802-505-1661 or Alissa.Matthews@ vermont.gov. ■

of being used for farming. Large farms may sometimes have a tax burden that is too difficult for the farmer to pay. Much of our food is now shipped in from the west and south where it can be produced more cheaply.

Also there is an increase in the percentage of farmers who work at jobs off the farm to help supply themselves. This means an increase in the number of part-time farms.

Today, Vermonters are trying to find ways to preserve open farmland and some of the rural characteristics of the state.

As you’ll see at the 2020 Vermont Farm Show, our farmers are trying to become more diversified. In addition to dairying, some other leading agricultural products now include beef cattle and calves, pigs and hogs, turkeys, eggs, apples, honey, and maple syrup.

Sheep farming: The era of sheep farming is an interesting part of Vermont’s agricultural history. William Jarvis of Weathersfield was instrumental in starting the sheep boom in Vermont.He was able to convince neighbors that the thick wooled Merino was a worthy investment.

The price of wool was high during the War of 1812 and Vermonters earned good profits from their sheep. The price dropped after the war, but soon increased until the peak of sheep farming in Vermont during the 1840s.

By 1840 Addison County was the leading wool producing area of the United States.

Many of the mills are closed today and wool is not as important in Vermont. Raising sheep and lambs for wool and for food is coming back on some Vermont farms today.

Vermont farming, 1770-2018 MIDDLEBURY | The annual Vermont Farm Show is a great place to learn about agriculture in the Green Mountain State.

You can learn about all things, past and present when it comes to farming in the Green Mountains.

Farming has always played a major part in the lives of Vermonters.

For example, in 1770, most Vermonters lived on self-sufficient farms, which meant they consumed most of the food they produced. Sheep were introduced to Vermont in 1811 and soon they became a major source of income for farmers. The rough hillsides and climate of the state were especially suited for sheep raising. By the 1840’s competition from other areas and economic conditions led to a decrease in sheep farming.

In the years before the Civil War, Vermont began to move towards dairy farming. Just after the late 1840s, before there was refrigeration, the milk was made into cheese and butter and shipped by railroad to out of state markets. After the refrigerated railroad car was invented in 1910, fluid milk was shipped in large quantities to cities like Boston and New York.

In 1983, 79 percent of the money made on farms was from dairy products and in 1995 it was 69.9 percent, but as it has in the past, farming in Vermont is changing. There are fewer farms and less of the land in the state is used for agriculture. Only the prime farmland remains in agriculture; 21.5 percent of Vermont land was used for the purpose of farming in 1997. One reason for this is an increase in population and the resulting demand for good land. Land is expensive and may sometimes bring large amounts of money when it is sold for housing instead

Panthers in double figures in win over Albertus Magnus

NORWICH HOLDS OFF MIDDLEBURY 3-1

From Campus News Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

MIDDLEBURY | Fourth-ranked Norwich (13-2-1) scored a pair of goals in 59 seconds in the middle period, on the way to a 3-1 victory over visiting Middlebury last Tuesday. Up next for the Panthers (7-6-0) is the final non-conference game of the season against Plattsburgh State.

Middlebury goalie Jake Horoho made a couple of big saves just over a minute into the game, denying both Jordan Hall and Brett Ouderkirk from the top of the blue paint. The Panthers had a good chance to open the scoring midway through the frame when Alex Heinritz had a bid from point-blank range that Cadet goalie Tom Aubrun turned aside.

Norwich had another opportunity in the fi nal two minutes when Philip Elgstam was stopped from inside the right circle, while Cody Downs whistled the rebound wide of the left post.

The visitors pressed early in the second stanza, nearly scoring off a scramble in front of the Cadet net. Matt Danner and Heinritz each had shots from close range that Aubrun stopped.

The hosts later struck for a pair of goals 59 seconds apart to claim a 2-0 lead.

Taeron Lewis flipped in a shot from the

left side of the crease over Horoho’s right pad to open the scoring, while with 11:34 expired Elgstam redirected in a pass from the high slot by Gabriel Chicoine.

The Panthers cut the margin at half with 4:50 on the clock, as Owen Powers skated in from the right side, had initial bid denied by Aubrun, but tucked in the rebound to make it a 2-1 contest. Horoho made that score hold through the end of the period, making a pad save on a breakaway by Scott Swanson in the fi nal minute.

Norwich had a chance to push the difference to two goals in the third frame, when Carter Cowlthorp slid a pass to Braedyn Aubin on the left side, but Horoho made a tremendous save sliding to his right to keep it a one-goal game with 8:28 on the scoreboard. Following a chance by Middlebury’s Michael Fahie with just over four minutes remaining, Norwich added an insurance goal by Ryan Boucher with 2:55 on the clock.

The Panthers pulled Horoho for an extra skater for the final 1:43 with the hosts keeping the final margin at 3-1.

Horoho finished with 26 stops for the Panthers, while Aubrun had 31 with the visitors holding a 32-29 edge in shots.

Each team had three power plays, with the Cadets scoring the only goal while on the advantage. ■

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

MIDDLEBURY | Fift h-ranked Middlebury snapped no. 18 Albertus Magnus’ 11-game winning streak, as the Panthers (15-1) picked up an 84-76 win over the Falcons (11-2) last week in Pepin Gym. The Falcons led 14-8 on a hoop from Tyreek Perkins with 15:28 on the clock. The Panthers took their first advantage of the game on a three from Ryan Cahill at the 11:15 mark, making it a 20-18 contest. Trailing by one (30-29) with 3:57 remaining, the Panthers closed the first half on a 13-4 run to lead 42-34 at the break.

The margin increased to 15 (51-36) 1:27 into the second session on a three-pointer

by Jack Farrell. Middlebury led by 10 (6050) at the 14:07 mark, before an 11-0 run put them up 71-50 with 11:23 left to play. Max Bosco sparked the run with seven points.

The Falcons scored the next seven points and slowly chipped away, making it a sevenpoint game at the 3:22 mark after a pair of free throws from Justice Washington. A clutch three from the corner by Matt Folger put the hosts up 79-68 with 2:07 on the clock as the Panthers went on to the 84-76 win.

Bosco led all scorers with 23 points, including a perfect 9-9 from the free-throw line. Folger earned his sixth double-double of the season with 12 points and 10 boards, to go along with five blocked shots. Tommy Eastman finished with 15 points, Cahill

MIDDLEBURY |The Middlebury men’s alpine team returns a solid core of veterans, while the women’s squad will have some holes to fill for the 2020 carnival season.

Last season, the Panthers won their own carnival, while placing third in each of the other five competitions.

The alpine squad qualified a full team for the NCAA Championships, placing 10th overall.

Juniors Justin Alkier and

Erik Arvidsson, along with sophomore Tim Gavett were top finishers throughout the 2019 season.

Senior Pate Campbell competed nearly every weekend, while sophomore Michel Macedo missed the final two carnivals of the season.

Arvidsson is a two-time AllEast selection, who earned All-American honors in 2018.

The former EISA Rookie of the Year swept the Middlebury Carnival a year ago, while placing in the top three on six different occasions. He finished the regular season ranked third overall in the East. ■
