Democrats approve of socialist agenda By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | The Democrats of New Hampshire have spoken and “Bernie 2020” is their resounding new mantra. On Feb. 11, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), a 2020 Democratic nominee for U.S. President, won the New Hampshire Primary, the first primary in the nation of the 2020 election year. The primary followed last week’s Democratic Iowa Caucus debacle in which Sanders appeared to have won as well. “Tonight New Hampshire sent a message that working people are ready for a political revolution in this country. This is what it will take to defeat Donald Trump,” said Sanders last Tuesday evening. “This victory isn’t about me; it’s about us. Tonight is about what our supporters, volunteers and grassroots donors built in New Hampshire.” In the weeks leading up to the primary, Sanders spoke to more than 40,000 Granite State residents at 70 campaign gatherings around the state’s 10 counties. “He garnered unprecedented grassroots support in New Hampshire, inspiring a broad coalition of volunteers that powered record-breaking organizing efforts,” according to Roya Hegdahl of Sanders’ campaign headquarters in Burlington. “On his path to victory, Senator Sanders mobilized 25,000 volunteers in New Hampshire, who put in over 100,000 hours and knocked 850,000 doors since the start of the campaign.” Volunteers from Vermont and elsewhere crossed the Connecticut River to get out the vote. Meanwhile, Sanders campaign is being generously funded by many small donations from loyal Bernie fans to new converts to the candidate’s socialist message. According to Hegdahl, “Looking ahead to the Feb. 22 Nevada caucuses, the ‘Bernie 2020’ campaign has built the largest operation of any presidential candidate on the ground, with more than 200 staffers and thousands of active volunteers.” Hegdahl noted that as the primary season battle now turns to Nevada, South Carolina and Super Tuesday. Sanders’ self-proclaimed multi-racial, working class coalition “is powered by the most diverse coalition of any candidate in the race, with polling consistently showing Sanders’ strong base of support with Black and Latino voters in Nevada, particularly among women of color.” A new Quinnipiac College poll indicates Sanders is in the Democratic lead nationally where his “Bernie 2020” ground strategy has already made a whopping $5.5 million in multimedia advertising buys. Hegdahl added that Sanders is already deploying new staff to “direct and mobilize a huge base of grassroots supporters.” ■
The lunch was hosted in recognition of the U.S. Vietnam War Commemoration which officially authorized in 2012. “The Seth Warner-Rhoda Farrand Chapter of the DAR became a commemorative partner in 2014 and we held our first lunch to thank and honor local Vietnam Veterans in 2015,” according the DAR member Joy Minns. “We committed to do two programs each year for three years, but have continued our affiliation with this committee after our initial promise was met. We’ve held ceremonies at Addison Baptist Church, Champlain Valley Christian School, the Vergennes American Legion Post, the
Park in Vergennes, according to Minns. Chapter members also added a bench in honor of Korean War veterans in 2018. At last week’s lunch, vets enjoyed the food pas well as a decorated cake donated by Shaw’s Supermarket in Vergennes. “Any veteran who served between November 1, 1955 and May 15, 1975 is eligible to receive a lapel pin,” Minns said. “If the veteran has passed away since 1975 his or her spouse can receive a deceased Vietnam veteran’s “surviving-spouse” lapel pin. There are also special pins for former, living American Military POWs, an “unaccounted for” pin and an “in memory of” pin
“The American Legion Post in Vergennes wanted to thank our group for holding these lunches and voted last fall to donate $1,000 to help defray our costs in future years,” she noted. “We hold a fundraiser at the Williston North rest area each fall to raise funds for this event and for the other donations we make to veterans’ causes (transitional housing and the Vermont Honor Flight, for example) but the extra money has eased our concerns about financing the lunch.” Minns added that most of the local DAR members who are healthy enough to help out, do so. “About a dozen of us participated this year,” she said. ■
What’s happening to solar in Vermont?

Decline in solar projects blamed, in part, on policy changes By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | A Vermont Solar Pathways updated report shows that solar progress in Vermont has declined steadily since 2016. The report indicates a marked decline in Vermont’s solar capacity which seems hard to reverse in time for Montpelier’s magical “20%” year of 2025. The study indicates that, based on the current slowdown in annual installation rates, the state will likely not meet its “20% by 2025” renewable energy target. “The update (report) sends a mixed message,” said the study’s lead author, David Hill, PhD in a recent news release. “On one hand the growth rates required to meet the target are attainable, and have been demonstrated in the period from 2014 to 2019 in both Vermont and national markets. During the last three years Vermont’s solar market has seen declines that if not corrected will fall well short of the solar pathway potential.”
Solar proponents like Hill continue to claim that solar can provide 20% of Vermont’s electricity by 2025 and can do so with costs that are less than 1 percent of total annual energy expenditures. Despite solar advocates like Hill, which tend dominate the conversation in Montpelier, the limitations of solar power are known but rarely discussed—namely, costs of hardware, space needs, and “intermittency of energy generation.” According to Columbia University’s Earth Institute, the Institute for Energy Research claims that “an increasing share of solar power will harm the electricity grid’s reliability and impose additional costs on the system. It also argues that tax subsidies for wind power should end, since the cost of that energy is now competitive with natural gas.” Regardless, key findings from the Vermont report demonstrate that there is still a future for solar in Vermont although the year 2025 goal of 20% seems tough to achieve: Vermont’s electric grid can handle 20% solar. Generating 20% of the projected electricity consumption in Vermont by 2025 will require an estimated 1,000 MW (1 gigawatt) of installed solar capacity. Smart grid optimization and planning will help lower costs. Vermont has enough land and sunlight across the state, however, it would require approximately 0.1% of Vermont’s land area to meet the 2025 goal (an area approximately the size of the city of Montpelier). “Policy changes detrimentally slowed solar progress over the last three years, resulting in lost opportunity for our climate, economy, and all Vermonters,” said Olivia Campbell Andersen, Renewable Energy Vermont’s executive director. “The legislature has the opportunity now to create a more renewable and climate resilient Vermont by enacting a 100% Renewable Electricity Standard (S.267).” The full report is available online at www.veic.org/vermontsolar-pathways. ■

NOOKIE | Four-year-old neutered male jack russell mix brown/white. MEET LOKA —
Loka is a large gal with a friendly, playful disposition and a side of spunk. This six-year-old feline is surprisingly quick catching any dangled toy, which she attacks with kitten-like energy. Loka is capable of many yoga poses as she cleans her lovely coat and she seems to get along with her roommates. She tolerates being brushed, but loves ear rubs. Loka is a fun cat that would do well in most households. Come check her out soon. ■
Sweet, loyal, independent and a snuggler. Yes, these describe me to the letter. I would love a lap to snuggle on while we watch a little TV and I like to take over the bed if possible. I will do my best to go under the covers where it is nice and warm. I am however, a Jack Russel mix so with that comes the personality of a Jack Russel.

BOO | Four-month-old neutered male domestic short hair black and white.
I have lived with another dog and did nicely with the companionship.
Oh, did I get your attention. I have a bad habit of reaching my paws out and grabbing people. I am a high energy and playful kitten. I am ready to have my own home to explore in. I enjoy playing with string toys. However, after I get all my energy out, I can be found taking long cat naps. I curl up into a ball and just relax. I would love to get to play with you. Come visit me at RCHS and we can play in the cat room.
HERBIE | Five-year-old neutered male catahoula mix red merle w/white.

Michelle Fay Band headlines Brandon Music By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
BRANDON | I fi rst heard Michelle Fay two years ago in Lincoln. Her band’s sound is pure Americana; you can hear

our Appalachian highlands in her songs. Ms. Fay has a truly beautiful voice and I can listen to it for hours. Perhaps that’s why it’s so easy to fall in love with her approach to folk. Now if you haven’t been entertained by the Fay Band, here’s your chance: The local quartet will perform at Brandon Music on Saturday Feb. 29, at 7:30 p.m. “There is something so reassuring about this kind of music… these tunes are Grand Ole Opry worthy. They make me think of the kind of songs country folks would love to dance to on a saw-dusted wooden floor,” Kimmy Sophia Brown of the NoiseBoston.com wrote recently about Fay and company. According to Edna Sutton of Brandon’s Compass Music and Arts Center, Fay’s band’s is finally getting the local attention it so richly deserves. “The band’s growing musicianship is increasingly being well received throughout the region as it continues to gather its well-deserved recognition,” she said.
“Fay’s band musicians are a perfect match for her talent as a singer-songwriter, and they add to the charm and sincerity of these songs without detracting from their earnest messages,” Sutton added. “Kalev Freeman, on fiddle, brings forth a light-hearted, lilting sound. Michael Santosusso, on upright bass, adds dynamic beat and perfectly matched harmonies and Fay’s husband, Tim Price, contributes accomplished, melodic instrumentals on mandolin and guitar.” Someone once said that if music is a place then Jazz is the city, Rock is the road, Classical is a temple, and Folk is the wilderness. Being rural Vermonters, it’s only natural that we’re lured by the call of the wild and the sound of Michelle Fay and company. This month’s Brandon concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $20. A pre-concert dinner is available for $25. Reservations are a must and the venue at Brandon Music is always BYOB. Call 802-247-4295 for more details. Brandon Music is located at 62 Country Club Rd. in Brandon. ■

Addison County agriculture: The next generation Passing down skills, knowledge to young people. By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Vermont agriculture is one of the last working environments left where sons and daughters work side-by-side with their mothers and fathers, and even their grandparents. “For decades, families... have passed down skills and knowledge from one generation to the next,” according to next-generation farming advocate Jerry Moran. “In this way, long-standing agriculture traditions are preserved and values are shared. Unfortunately, it has increasingly become less of the norm for young people to take up the family business and continue in their parents’ line of work. “ According to USDA data, the number of new farmers decreased by 20 percent since 2017.
But for t hose young Vermonters whose dream is to run a farm just like their family did, advocates are turning to educating state legislators as a way to empower them to preserve this essential, traditional lifestyle. Locally, two Addison County family run agricultural operations have been doing their best to assure that their “next generation” takes over the reins successfully. At award-w inning Monument Farms Dairy in Weybridge, third- and fourth-generation Rooney family members are already working in the business and filling new management roles. “Each of them bring certain strengths and knowledge bases with them,” said dairy operator Jon Rooney. “The third generation, of which I am one of three, has not totally turned over the
reins, yet, but are certainly working towards that.“ According to Rooney, the Weybridge dairy operation covers a number of different fields: growing crops, caring for and raising animals, processing and distributing milk, repairing equipment, and more. “There is ample room to accommodate various strengths and interests,” he told the Eagle. “This wide variety of needs, as well as pride in having grown our business into a very unique position in Vermont, plays a big part in being able to attract family members to make this life choice. We have spent a great deal of time in planning for smooth successions as these members move into management roles.” Rooney is realistic about the future. He said there will be both fi nancial and
manpower challenges down the road. “Nothing in those two areas ever gets easier,” he added. “New methods will need to be adopted, certainly, and completely different products might be an option. We do have a plan in place for succession of ownership which should provide for a smoothish transition. Due to the increasing difficulty in finding manpower, the next generation will need to find efficiencies through technology to meet shortfalls.” In Bridport, the Audet family’s Blue Spruce Farm is also paving the way for that family’s next generation. “As we, the second generation, grew older, we had dreams of building a barn focused on the cows’ comfort. Tapping into modern dairy information and technology that we’d gained over the years, the fi rst of three

emphasis was put on keeping the barn comfortable despite what Mother Nature throws at us.” Farming kids across the state represent the future of agriculture; by enabling them to succeed means we all succeed, says Jerry Moran. “The ideals we want our kids to learn – hard work, work, perseverance perseverance and and cooperation cooperation with with others others – exemplified in - are are exemplified in American American children children growing growing up up on on farms farms across y,” across the the countr country," said said Moran.

Is it too late for the nuclear option? From the editor Peaceful nuclear energy plays an essential role in our country’s clean energy future. The generation of electricity from atomics contributes no carbon dioxide or air pollution and is among the country’s largest sources of clean energy. Reducing nuclear’s role in our energy portfolio could have devastating environmental impacts to our country and make it nearly impossible for us to meet our clean energy or carbon reduction goals. Nuclear energy produces more clean electricity than all other sources combined, and is the only source that can produce large amounts of electricity around the clock, 365 days a year. Overall, nuclear accounted for more than 55 percent of America’s clean
energy generation in 2018. The carbon-free benefits of nuclear are immense. Every year, nuclear-generated electricity saves our atmosphere from more than 528 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions that would otherwise come from fossil fuels. That’s the same as taking 112 million passenger vehicles off the road, which is more than every passenger vehicle currently on the road in the United States. Additionally, the energy provided by nuclear avoids over 500 million tons of carbon and 650,000 tons of nitrogen oxide emissions each year. The combined social cost of these emissions is valued at $33.4 billion annually. Advanced nuclear technology, like thorium and other inherently safe reactors, has the potential to prevent even more greenhouse gas
emissions. Also, the issue of nuclear waste while important is overblown. The amount of waste generated by nuclear plants worldwide is actually small, and manageable, providing there’s a will to handle it. Fossil fuels are currently the only energy source capable of reaching high enough temperatures to power industrial furnaces, which emit 1.4 trillion tons of greenhouse gasses annually. While renewable energy sources and current nuclear reactors cannot reach temperatures needed for industrial furnaces, some advanced reactors have the potential to replace fossil fuels for this and other purposes. We have seen attempts to phase out nuclear energy create devastating environmental impacts internationally and in states throughout the U.S. In Germany, the phase-out of nuclear
Rough days ahead for an industry on the ropes By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER
Stealing a line from Gordon Lightfoot’s song “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”: “The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy.” The last several months have been really hard on the newspaper Industry, and while our local endeavor here at the Sun isn’t in the big league as are the industry titans, yet the waves they are stirring up, do have an effect even in our tiny corner of the world. Margaret Sullivan published a great piece last week in the Washington Post titled, “The future of local newspapers just got bleaker: Here’s why we can’t let them die”. https:// www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/media/ the-future-of-local-newspapers-just-got-bleakerheres-why-we-cant-let-them-die/2020/02/14/

Thanks to one of our loyal supporters, Lance Clark, for sending us the link. With that article as a backdrop, I can tell you that news like this has the same effect on all newspapers large and small, in the same fashion as the coronavirus outbreak on a cruise ship. It shakes people’s confidence and results in others abandoning the ship before they understand all the facts. Yes, the coronavirus is scary stuff and there are 15 cases here in the U.S. of as last weekend. No cases here in the North Country, yet the CDC reports there will likely be 14,000 to 36,000 flu deaths in the 2019-20 flue season here in the United States. In comparison, the flu which is here holds a more imminent threat than the coronavirus. So what do the flu and coronavirus have to do with newspapers? The major problem facing many newspapers is the lack of local support over the last 20 years. It isn’t the internet, but rather the hedge funds and

plants is estimated to have caused a 25 million ton increase in carbon emissions. In the U.S., states,such as Vermont that have closed nuclear plants have seen significant increases in carbon emissions. In California, closing the San Onofre plant in 2012 contributed to a 35 percent increase in carbon emissions, and Vermont witnessed an increase of 650,000 tons of carbon in just the two months following the closure of the Vermont Yankee plant. The detrimental impact of phasing out nuclear energy is clear: In the fight against climate change, supporting nuclear plants and investing in advanced nuclear technology could be a difference maker.

equity outfits that have plundered and wreaked havoc on the news industry. They are slashing workforces, degrading quality, increasing prices, selling off assets while maximizing profits to shareholders, all while nobly claiming to protect local journalism and communities. The Sun is one of many locally-owned community newspapers around the country trying to keep the remnants of a traditional newspaper alive while attempting to weather the “gales of November”, as lyricist Lightfoot said. Only when local support for what we produce each week wains, will our efforts be short-circuited. When the bean counters have worn out there welcome and moved on to some new capital venture, our local communities will still require a trusted communication asset that is still (by far) the most significant journalism producers in their local communities, to quote Margaret Sullivan and the Nieman Labs study last fall. To that end, we thank all of you who have recently contributed to help us stay the course, as we strive to “put 15 more miles behind er’.” ■

Guest column
Without civility, our system doesn’t work By Dr. Lee Hamilton GUEST COLUMNIST
As a young teenage schoolboy, George Washington copied out 110 “Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior.” Many of these had to do with simple manners. “Cleanse not your teeth with the tablecloth, napkin, fork or knife,” reads Rule 100. Good advice at any time. But the first rule the future president wrote down and followed for the rest of his life was especially notable: “Every action done in company, ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present.” There are times when I find myself wishing that
all of us would adopt the civil behavior of that particular teenager. Our politics today too often is strident and polarized. We live in a polity that seems to reward in-yourface rhetoric and confrontational behavior. Yet civility — respecting the rights and dignity of others — uplifts our common life. It makes engaging in politics more pleasant, more appealing, and ultimately, more fruitful. There’s no question that incivility has consequences. It makes the work of democracy more difficult: building consensus, reconciling competing views, enticing ordinary Americans to give up some of their private lives to devote themselves to
the public good. It makes key institutions like Congress less effective. Stressing respect for one’s opponents does not mean we need to agree with one another. Far from it. Treating one another civilly is how people who don’t agree still manage to weigh issues carefully and find common ground. This is not always easy. Civility takes discipline and patience. Especially when faced with incivility, the temptation is to lash right back. But aside from some kind of momentary satisfaction, it’s hard to see how this is an effective tactic if our purpose is to get things done. Because in a democracy like
ours, the key challenge is to foster a debate that respects all voices, even those of dissent and protest, and create an environment that enables the agreements we need to advance the common good. The reassuring thing is that bringing this country closer to the political behavior that George Washington had in mind is not a matter of enacting laws or passing new regulations. It’s simply a matter of encouraging respectful behavior, one person at a time. If we can do that and reverse the course we’ve embarked on in recent years, then we can still show that a government of, for, and by the people works. ■

Game scores for food shelves, community

Epaphrus Miller’s house and tavern
Pictured here sometime during the Civil War-era, Epaphrus Miller’s circa-1811 brick house and old English-style tavern stood on the site of today’s Town Hall Theater in downtown Middlebury. There isn’t much history about Miller’s fourchimney establishment, but we do know that his tavern was a popular watering hole for local men as well as travelers through Addison County’s shire town. According to historian Dr. Daniel Thorp, “Taverns (like Miller’s) absorbed leisure hours and games were provided... When politics was in season, or the county court was meeting, political talk filled the tavern.”

To the Editor: “I had my doubts when you invited us, but that was incredible,” a friend from Burlington said minutes after watching Rutland’s “Newly”wed Game, which benefited the Rutland Community Cupboard, BROC’s Community Food Shelf, and the Salvation Army. The fourth-annual event, presented by WJJR (radio) and Green Mountain Power and hosted by The Paramount Theatre last Saturday, struck a chord with our friend, who gushed about the sense of community and camaraderie on stage and in the audience. “It was really fun,” he said, “and hilarious.” The show is modeled after the old TV show, and pits couples against each other to answer revealing and sometimes ridiculous questions about their relationships. It was hosted by Ed Kelly, and featured couples Chrispin and Renee White, Drew and Kelsey Smith, Rich and Christina Sweet, John Wallace and Rose Kennedy, Will and Allison Gormly, Philip and Marlene Allen, Lisa Boerner and Lisa FrankelBoerner, and Mark and Becky Stockton. The Stocktons won the game and a year’s supply of maple syrup from Baird Farm and a three-night stay at the Best Western Inn and Suites in Mendon. The couples, whether they got every question right or only matched answers a couple of times, demonstrated their love for each other and the community, along with grace, compassion and concern for friends and neighbors. We can’t thank them enough for leaving their comfort zones and putting
themselves out there. Sponsors Heritage Family Credit Union, Jane Costello, Rutland General Electric Employees Activity Association, Rutland Regional Medical Center Heart Center, and Same Sun of Vermont were also critical to the event’s success, along with The Rutland Herald, The Mountain Times, Baird Farm and Best Western. Host Ed Kelly channeled Bob Eubanks to great effect, and Eric Mallette, Terry Jaye and I had a blast working behind the scenes on the script, promotion, and logistics. The audience was incredibly fun and supportive! Most important, the event raised thousands of dollars to help feed people in need, and was like a booster shot of love for the community. On behalf of co-organizers Terry Jaye, Eric Mallette and myself, the food shelves, and all who will benefit, a huge thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success, and once again demonstrated Rutland’s ability to create energy, love and kindness through the most improbable methods. — Steve Costello, Rutland Town ■
Loki the police dog
To the Editor: Thanks for your interesting story about “Loki” the new Vermont State Police dog. We adopted an older Plott hound a few years ago. Our “Charlie” is intelligent, very loyal and wonderful being around people. The State Police made a wise choice in training “Loki” for detective work. Plotts are super sniffers; we’re sure “Loki” will be perfect when it comes to finding missing persons and helping to solve criminal cases. — Connie & Bob Solt, Lake Dunmore Salisbury ■

LOCAL FOREST BUSINESSES GET A LIFELINE By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Last year, Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) and U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D) first announced that Vermont communities struggling to overcome the decline in the forestry industry were able to consider accessing a $7 million taxpayer-funded grant program to kickstart new economic opportunities. “As a competitive global market has put pressure on our forest-based businesses, Vermonters are doing great work to reinvent the forest economy. This includes investing in outdoor recreation, developing new forest-based products, like wood pellets for modern wood heat, and looking for ways to bring broadband and other modern infrastructure to rural communities,” Scott said. According to Leahy , “For generations, many communities across Vermont, northern New York and New England relied heavily on the economic benefits of the forest economy. But recent downturns in wood markets have taken a toll.
We need new solutions, new markets and sustained federal investment to ensure our rural communities can capitalize on new opportunities and retain their vibrancy. This new initiative will allow for demonstration for new wood products, such as mass timber construction, while also looking to help communities with critical needs such as closing the digital divide.” Leahy directed the NBRC to support local forest-based economies and to set aside a collective $7 million in taxpayer funds. “The Farm Bill expands the Northern Border Regional Commission territory to include every county in Vermont. This new program will be the first NBRC grant round open to communities across the entire state of Vermont,” according to Scott’s office. ■ Vermont communities are struggling to overcome the decline in the forestry industry.

Bill to give free hunting, fishing licenses to Abenaki Taxpayers would shoulder the costs From News Reports OFFICE OF THE VERMONT ATTORNEY GENER AL
MONTPELIER | Vermont Attorney General T.J. Donovan (D) called upon the Legislature and Gov. Phil Scott (R) to pass a bill that would provide free hunting and fishing licenses to citizens of Vermont’s state-recognized Native American Indian tribes. The bill, H.716, will add citizens of Vermont’s tribes to the list of people eligible for a free permanent license from Vermont’s
Fish and Wildlife Department. “The Abenaki have hunted and fished these lands for centuries,” said Donovan last week. “Their claim on these resources is both powerful and centuries old. Recognition of their claim is just and overdue.” Donovan has been pleased to work in partnership with Chief Don Stevens from the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation. Passage of the bill may result in a modest decrease in revenue from licenses—a burden Donovan believes the state (taxpayers) should readily shoulder. Donovan has submitted a letter to chairs and legislators of the committees of jurisdiction calling on the Legislature to act. ■

Upon arrival it was learned the accused, Christopher Littlefield, had assaulted and caused pain to the victim, Trevor Matton. Prior to the arrival of State Police, Littlefield had fled the area. On Jan. 1, Littlefield was located and upon further investigation, probable cause was found for the related criminal charge. Littlefield was issued a citation to appear before the Addison Superior Court to answer the charge of simple assault, a violation of Title 13 VSA 1023. ■
Assault alleged in North Ferrisburgh NORTH FERRISBURGH | On Dec. 31, 2019, the Vermont State Police responded to an altercation at a residence on Vaughn Court in the town of North Ferrisburgh.

Middlebury women’s hockey edges Trinity, 1-0 From Campus News Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE
MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury scored a late goal in the second period and goalie Anna Goldstein stopped all 15 shots she faced, as the Panthers skated to a 1-0 triumph on Sunday over Trinity. Middlebury (15-2-3, 10-11) returns to NESCAC play at home on Friday against Williams, while the Bantams (5-11-2, 0-10-2) are at Bowdoin. The teams skated through a fast-moving first period with the hosts holding an 8-4 edge in shots. Middlebury’s best scoring chance came with 6:46 on the clock, as Mollie Dalbey gained possession of the puck on the right boards and fed Sidney Portner in the slot, with her bid being stopped by Trinity goalie Kai-Lilly Karpman. In the second stanza, Trinity had a pair of scoring opportunities off the stick of Angelica Mushenko that Goldstein denied. The Panthers had a very active shift just past the midway point of the frame, as Madie Leidt
fired four shots on goal and Katie Hargrave another. That pair assisted on a late goal for the hosts when Jenna Letterie backhanded a rebound into the net with 26.6 seconds left before the intermission for a 1-0 lead. The Panthers looked to double their lead just over five minutes into the fi nal frame with a power play. Letterie hit the left post, while Claudia Vira had two near misses on shots that went just wide. Trinity’s Olive Scull had a shot from the left point travel through several sets of legs that Goldstein turned aside with less than six minutes remaining. Middlebury was whistled for a penalty with 1:49 left and the Bantams pulled Karpman for an extra skater. Ethel Wilhemsson and Mushenko each had shots on goal during the 6x4 advantage, but were unable to get the equalizer as the hosts ran out the clock. The shutout was Goldstein’s fourth of the season, while Karpman stopped 37-38 Panther shots she faced. Middlebury came up empty on six power
plays, while Trinity went scoreless in three opportunities. The Panthers remained perfect
on the penalty kill against conference opponents this season, going 38-38. ■
Middlebury’s Jenna Letterie scores the game-winning goal against Trinity last Sunday.

Middlebury’s Peter Wolter has been named the EISA Nordic Skier of the Week. The junior placed fourth in last week’s 20k classic and battled for the win in the 10k free, finishing as the runner up for his fifth podium of the season. Wolter’s efforts paced the Middlebury men to a third-place finish by week’s end, while contributing to the Panthers overall carnival win, their first of the season. He and his teammates will be back on the course at the Williams Carnival. Photo by Lou Varricchio
MIDDLEBURY | If you’re an avid reader, you ‘re probably familiar with Middlebury’s favorite Main Street destination, the Vermont Book Shop. This award-winning bookstore has been a downtown fixture since the 1970s. And over the years, many authors (some famous, some not), have visited the shop for book signings and promotional events. The shop is also a good place to meet up and coming authors and this month is no exception. On Thursday, Feb. 27, at 7 p.m., you can meet Maria Padian, a freelance writer, essayist, and author of celebrated young adult novels. Padian lives in Maine but she has a deep Middlebury connection; that’s why her newest book for teens, “How to Build a Heart”, is a book teens and parents will want to check out and read. Padian’s newest novel focuses on
16-year-old Izzy Crawford a girl who wants to feel like she really belongs somewhere. In the story, Izzy’s family has been selected by Habitat for Humanity for a new house and the rest evolves from there. As the plot of “How to Build a Heart” unfolds, the reader follows Izzy’s special journey to find her place in the sun. Through Izzy’s eyes, we learn what the meaning of family, friends and community really means. The book is well written and offers a terrific lesson about understanding for young readers. Padian is a Middlebury College graduate and that’s where she cut her teeth on creative writing. Today, she joins the roster of celebrated Middlebury-Bread Loaf writers. Her young adult novels, which include “Brett McCarthy...” and “Jersey Tomatoes are the Best” (among other titles), made their mark on the literary scene as being sensitive, wise and deeply worthwhile. “I was born in New York City but moved with my family when I was five to the country,” Padian writes. “Back in those days (the 1960s) that meant New Jersey. We moved to a blue house on an acre of land in a little town called Allendale, and to a city kid like me it felt wild. At night, instead of car horns
Maria Padian on Middlebury: “There was... a lot of snow in winter, and spring didn’t really ever arrive. It just became something called mud season, and right around when you thought it might actually get warm you had to pack up and head home for the summer.” Photo by Greta Rybus
and sirens, all you could hear were crickets. Deer often wandered through our yard, and when I saw my first earthworm I was absolutely convinced it was a snake. There was a huge woods behind our house, and my brother and I were allowed to wander there, for hours, and build forts. It was a great place to be a kid.” Middlebury left a lasting impression on the author, too. “Looking out my dorm room window, I saw cows,” she adds. “Not on campus, of course, but right next door. There was also a lot of snow in winter, and spring didn’t really ever arrive. It just became something called mud season, and right around when you thought it might actually get warm you had to pack up and head home for the summer. I absolutely loved it... Middlebury opened many doors for me.” ■

A snowy February bringing ice, snow, outages Two winter storms over two weeks hit Vermont By Lou Varricchio STAFF WRITER
February has been a snowy month, so far, and Green Mountain Power crews are standing by for my wintry storm events. Pictured: A GMP crew at work in the aftermath of a winter storm in Bristol. Photo provided
MIDDLEBURY | So far, a snowy February has produced stormy events that have disrupted commuter travel, school operations, and electric power. The most recent snow storm, last week, included about 9,550 homes in Vermont with outages. Damage due to icing two weeks ago was greater than forecasted. In some places, damage rivaled the infamous 1997 ice storm. WCAX-TV was predicting an Arctic high pressure moving in on Feb. 14. A ir temperat u res were
expected to bottom out in the single digits and teens below zero during the past weekend. Dangerous road conditions made travel slow during the most recent wintry events, according to Mike Burke, who leads Field Operations for GMP. “Damage unfortunately from ice and snow loading was greater than forecasted, and crews were working through the night to help customers,” he said, last week. The Middlebury area had an excess of 8 inches of snow as of Feb. 7. Additional snow fell on Feb. 11 and Feb. 13. This month, GMP has extra crews available. During any storm, report downed lines and trees to GM P and stay away f rom them because they may be energized. Customers can call 888-835-4672 to report outages and should call 911 for a medical emergency. ■
