RUTLAND | “Bill W.,” the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), who spent his formative years in Rutland, will be honored as the subject of the seventh statue along the Rutland Sculpture Trail. William G. Wilson, known as “Bill W.,” was born in Dorset and moved to Rutland as a youngster.
Wilson was born Nov. 26, 1895 behind the bar of a hotel in the midst of a snowstorm. His family moved to Rutland several years later, where he stayed until his parents divorced, and he returned to Dorset to live with his grandparents at age 11. » Bill W. Cont. on pg. 3 3

RUTLAND | Following a one-day trial, a Rutland jury convicted Eric Bryan, 39, of Rutland, of attempted burglary and unlawful mischief for his role in the Jan. 15, 2017, attempt to break into a Vermont Railways System’s building, located at the train yard off of Strongs Avenue in Rutland City. Bryan’s co-defendant Richard Bates previously pled guilty to attempted burglary. Rutland P.D. Officer Nathan Harvey and Detective Ryan Ashe went to the train yard after police received a report that two men were cutting through the fence to enter the train yard. During an inspection of the buildings in the train yard, the officers found a freshly cut fence. The officers continued their search for the intruders. When the officers rounded a corner, they came face-to-face with Bryan and Bates. Bryan and Bates were in the process of prying open the inner door to a Vermont Railways System’s building. They had already forced their way through the outer door. In the process of forcing through the outer door, they broke the latch to that door. When the police confronted Bates and Bryan, Bates attempted to flee. Officer Harvey pursued and was able to swiftly bring Bates into custody. Bryan was taken into custody without further incident. » Rutland jury Cont. on pg. 3

MIDDLEBURY | A new online report shows that Vermonters have a lot of reasons to sing the blues: they have one of the United States’ highest state tax loads to bear. The new report by WalletHub shows that Vermont has the fourth highest overall tax burden in the nation along with the second highest property tax burden compared among the 50 states. WalletHub, an online personal finance website, released its 2019 tax burden by state report earlier this month which
doesn’t show Vermont in a very good light, tax wise, when compared to neighboring states and the rest of the Union. Only New York, Hawaii and Maine come up as bigger overall tax-burden offenders compared to Vermont. According to WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez, who helped prepare the new report, “Vermont has the fourth highest overall tax burden, at 10.77 percent. Property taxes make up almost half of this percentage. At 5.12 percent, Vermont has the second highest property tax burden in the country. Sales taxes take up close to a third of the tax burden, while income taxes represent 2.31 percent of each resident’s personal income.”
According to WalletHub’s Gonzalez, a simple ratio known as the “tax burden” is easier for the public to understand compared to tax rates. Data used by WalletHub to create the ranking were collected from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, of Washington D.C.. According to the online report, with rankings showing “1” as the highest and “25” as the 50-state average, Vermont scored fourth in overall tax burden, second in property tax burden and 26th in the individual income and sales and excise tax burdens. » Vermont Cont. on pg. 3

A doctor’s statement, that alcoholism was an illness rather than a character flaw, was incorrectly believed at that time, lead Wilson to write some of the core tenets of AA and the 12 steps, which are credited with changing and saving millions of lives worldwide. AA was founded by Wilson and Dr. Robert Smith, a St. Johnsbury native, in 1937. Wilson, who gained sobriety in 1934, never drank again before his death in 1971. He was buried in the East Dorset Cemetery and in 1999 was listed by “Time” magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. He wrote “Alcoholics Anonymous,” also known as “The Big Book,” and dedicated

He led AA until 1955, when a board of trustees began to manage it, which by then, was helping people gain and maintain sobriety worldwide. Funding for the sculpture, to be carved from Danby white marble at the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center in West Rutland, was contributed anonymously.
“It’s incredible to think about the positive impact Bill W. had and continues to have around the globe,” project organizers said. “Everyone has friends, family members or colleagues who have benefited from AA. Alcoholism affects people from every walk of life worldwide, and AA has helped them regardless of race, creed, color, gender or social or economic standing.

A sentencing hearing for » Vermont Cont. from pg. 1 Vermont Commissioner of Taxes Kay Samsom was aware of the WalletHub report; he didn’t take exception to its stark findings. According to Samsom’s reckoning, the Republican Scott administration is working hard with the majority Democratic legislature in Montpelier to reverse the state’s dismal tax-burden ranking. “This year the governor introduced the repeal of the Vermont Land Gains Tax and an increase in the Estate Tax exemption, both proposals are aimed at lowering the overall tax burden and removing taxes that seem counterproductive to affordability and economic growth,” Samsom said.

these convictions is set for May 29 at 9 a.m. Chief Deputy State’s Attorney Ian Sullivan tried the case for the Rutland County State’s Attorney’s Office. Hayward was represented at trial by Attorney Lamar Enzor. Following the jury’s verdict, State Attorney Rose Kennedy said, “Burglaries are serious criminal acts. A burglary disrupts the peace to which all Vermonters and Vermont Businesses are entitled. Thanks to the swift and diligent actions of the Rutland City Police, two would-be burglars were caught in the act. I’m thankful my office was able to bring these two individuals to justice.” ■ According to Dr. Andrew Felo, associate professor of accounting at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, how a state measures up in the “tax burden” category is an indicator of a state’s economic and labor vitality. Felo reported that states with a broad-based tax system are better at weathering economic storms compared to those, like Vermont, with a narrow-based system. “A broad-based system is one where the total tax liability is spread over a larger number of taxpayers while a narrow-based system is one where the total tax liability is spread over fewer taxpayers,” he noted. “New York Gov.

From the editor
Green Up Day starts with us Most Vermonters know about Green Up Day. Green Up Day is designated as the first Saturday in May. Since the 1970s, it has become a special day here in Vermont when many volunteers get involved in the back-breaking community wide spring clean up of roadside litter. And need we really point out that there’s a heck of a lot of roadside litter to clean up around here? From our vantage point, there are two main culprits you can blame for Vermont’s enduring and growing roadside litter problem: the litter bug scofflaws who toss trash out of their motor vehicles and the owners of the property where this unwanted trash happens to land. Regarding the pernicious litter bugs around us: it’s obvious that these selfish folks don’t care much for the places where they travel. For whatever psychological reasons, they choose to toss-out trash along our roadsides, in front of our homes, businesses, and natural areas. We understand the superficial aspects of the
littering phenomena: maybe it’s just easier to toss out a McDonald’s hamburger wrapper or an empty Jiff y Mart beverage cup instead of taking it home to trash it. But on a deeper level, maybe there’s a passive-aggressive (unconscious or not), personal statement being made? Perhaps a visible statement of being personally estranged from the local community? If that’s the case, then the litter bug’s problem needs professional help. But our problem is then cleaning up the selfish messes resulting along our roadsides. Now, regarding the responsibilities of landowners where this trash ends up: How difficult is it to get off of the living room recliner and pick up the litter fouling your own property line? Do we miss something announced in the news recently? Perhaps there’s a widespread outbreak of adynamia? So, why let someone else’s unwanted litter pile up along your property? Maybe it’s a sense that since the trash which falls along that portion of road frontage owned by town or state, why bother?
Regardless of such lazy excuses to do nothing to help reduce roadside trash, when you can’t even stoop to pick up trash where you live, you are a serious part of the problem and spoiler of your own nest. While we applaud the more than 22,500 volunteers expected to take part in this year’s Green Up Day in Vermont, we can’t help “boo” all of Vermont’s selfish (and often drunken) litter bugs plus all the lazy folks and neighbors who see trash along their property lines and choose to ignore it. “Let some community volunteer pick it up for me because I have better thinks to do like watch TV or fiddle on the Internet.” If we all overcame our post-modern adynamic tendencies and regularly policed the roadsides for litter right here where we live, the need for Green Up Day might vanish. Imagine Green Up Day as just a quaint memory of a past time when no one really gave a damn about the environment and where they lived. — The editor ■
Guest viewpoint
What’s the big idea? Taxing heating fuels By John McClaughry
Publisher Ed Coats ed@addison-eagle.com
www.addison-eagle.com
GUEST COLUMNIST
Recently, the Vermont House passed a bill that raised taxes on the wrong people to support a worthy cause for, in large measure, the wrong reasons. Back in the 1970s Vermont’s community action agencies, created to wage the war against poverty, hit upon the idea of weatherizing drafty homes of low income families. This didn’t defeat poverty, but it improved living conditions. It produced, hopefully, energy savings, that the weatherized families could spend on other things. It also allowed the community action agencies to offer low-skill jobs and thus incomes to mostly marginally employed young men with time on their hands. In 1990 federal anti-poverty funds for weatherization were declining, and Gov. Madeleine Kunin (D) wanted to find some new money to keep the program alive. The result was an act that laid a gross receipts tax on all heating fuel. When the Senate debated this bill, the advocates said that free weatherization would lower the fuel bills of the poor, and the money they saved would end up in their pockets. The critics observed that
a decade of savings (recently estimated at 30 percent of annual fuel costs) could easily finance the weatherization, without imposing higher fuel costs on other households and businesses. The advocates prevailed 18-12. The critics back then presciently observed that tapping a new tax base would inevitably invite partisans of the program to push to increase rates whenever their program felt it needed more money. Of course they were right. In 2016 the tax on heating oil and propane was switched to two cents per gallon; the gross receipts base was retained for natural gas (.75 percent) and coal (1.0 percent.) Now, after three years, the House wants to double the two cents per gallon tax rate for heating oil and propane to four cents per gallon, bringing in an additional $4.6 million. That would, the program manager says, enable weatherizing 400 more homes, and make the LIHEAP heating assistance funds go further. Let’s agree that weatherizing drafty homes is a sensible thing to do. After a raggedy beginning in the 1970s, the local agencies have considerably improved the quality of their services. The question is, who should pay for it? All taxpayers? All heating fuel users? Or the people who benefit, paying
over time out of their ongoing fuel savings? The economically sensible solution is to finance weatherization at least in part out of the savings it produces. The V.A., FHA and commercial lenders offer Energy Efficient Mortgages that allow homebuyers or refinancers to pay for weatherization out of the resulting energy savings. But the fuel tax advocates want to tax all homeowners and businesses to pay for other people’s energy savings, and let those other people pocket the dollars saved. The businesses that use lots of natural gas — like OMYA in Florence — rightly see the fuel tax as making them less competitive. Many legislators opposed the fuel tax increase because it’s regressive. Gov. Phil Scott (R) said “It hurts the people we’re trying to help.” Speaker Johnson, though, sidetracked Rep. Cynthia Browning’s (D-Arlington) amendment to put the burden on high income earners — not a good solution, but at least not regressive. The House approved the fuel tax bill 81-60, suggesting that a Scott veto could be sustained. Lurking behind the fuel tax bill is the compulsion of many legislators to show the world that Vermonters are bravely taxing carbon fuels to combat climate change. Rep John
Bartholomew (D-Hartford) told the House that “this is an important bill that begins to address the challenges presented by climate change... The time to find easy and inexpensive solutions to climate change passed long ago.” Perhaps the most pungent analysis came from Montpelier journalist Guy Page: “Many climateminded legislators seem fixed on remedies that most impact older, rural and low-income Vermonters: fossil fuel divestment of the state’s already challenged pension funds; direct carbon taxation that would fall most heavily on poorer rural Vermonters; subsidizing solar power and electric vehicle infrastructure favored by the wealthier; and now, doubling what fuel dealer Shane Cota calls ‘the warmth tax.’” Instead of doubling the fuel tax on heating oil and propane and increasing by a third the tax on natural gas, legislators should shelve the fuel tax, leave the menace of climate change at the door, go back to drawing board, and work out something economically sensible that asks the beneficiaries to pay at least part of the cost, and is not a regressive tax on everybody else. ■ - John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute (ethanallen. org), a free-market think tankbased in Montpelier.

Lake’s life takes on many forms By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Lake Champlain is smaller than the Great Lakes, but Vermont politicians (jockeying to get taxpayer funds for a variety of special projects) have tried to reclassify it as the fifth Great Lake; there was scant support from beyond the region. Ultimately, does it really matter that our “great lake” isn’t as great as its cousins to the northwest? Lake Champlain is still considered to be a “great lake” of sorts being 490 square feet in size. Named after French explorer Samuel de Champlain, Lake Champlain is a 107-mile-long finger lake that could easily be called an inland sea of fresh water. Wildlife abounds in this, Vermont’s great lake which borders our state, New York and Quebec. Over thousands of years, the lake’s large basin has hosted a prehistoric lake, called Lake Vermont, as well as an incursion of cold, Atlantic Ocean salt water more than 10,000 years ago, called the Champlain Sea.
The Champlain Sea phase of the Champlain basin was created when the surrounding land had been depressed well below sea level by the weight of the immense Ice Age Laurentide glacier. Fossil evidence, such as Vermont’s world-famous fossil “Charlotte the Whale,” indicates that whales, as well as other ocean-going critters, once swam in the now vanished Champlain Sea. As the land eventually rebounded, it shed the ocean water and eventually formed the fresh-water lake we know, and love, today. The lake is deep, being approximately 400 feet at its greatest depth with a “crushing” pressure, at least for unprotected humans, of 173.4 pounds per square inch. Today, the modern lake varies seasonally from about 95 to 100 feet above sea level. A rich variety of life exists in Lake Champlain ranging from the microscopic to the megascopic. Plankton, fish, turtles, snake, birds and mammals abound although their long-term survival will depend on water quality and human stewardship of this, Vermont’s greatest freshwater resource. Continued.

Vergennes was 1800s boat-building center By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
Today’s Vergennes basin, a broad area of the Otter Creek located below the Little City’s spectacular plunge of waterfalls, is a popular recreation site. During the early 1800s, it was the scene of commercial and military boat-building activities. Photo by Lou Varricchio
VERGENNES | Vergennes’ picturesque boat basin is located below the falls in the downtown section of Vermont’s Little City. Today, the spot is popular with locals and visitors and during the summer months, it’s not unusual to see Canadian visitors mooring their powerboats at the basin and trekking into town for a bite to eat. However, at the start of the 19th century, the Vergennes basin was a busy commercial and military boat-building yard. During the War of 1812, work on U.S. Navy Captain Thomas Macdonough’s 700-ton flagship USS Saratoga got underway in the Vergennes yard on March 7, 1814. Named after the two 1777 Revolutionary battles in New York, the USS Saratoga was 146 feet long, with a beam of over 36 feet, and a draft of just 12 feet, good for the shallow water of Otter Creek and along the shore of Lake Champlain.
Shipbuilders Adam and Noah Brown of New York City were summoned by the fledgling U.S. government to build several large lake-going warships on Lake Erie and in 1814, the brothers were called to travel to Vermont. There, they were to rapidly construct a squadron of warships for Macdonough below the last of the Otter Creek’s fall lines, at the spectacular 40-feet-high drop of the Vergennes falls. A small yard was already established there and soundings of the creek showed it was a good place to launch ships on Lake Champlain. Macdonough laid out plans to build up the fleet with a corvette flagship, named the USS Saratoga, a new USS Eagle (II) and — in a strange reversal of maritime engineering — create a military sailing vessel from one of America’s fi rst commercial steamships, Ticonderoga. Of course, the rest is history, known by all local school children, with the United States achieving a spectacular victory on land and lake against Great Britain in the Battle of Plattsburgh. ■

ACTR Riders: Bertha the poet she admits the luxury car does have some “issues” but it was her husbands car and he had a couple issues, too, so it’s all right. “An antique driving an antique,” she said.
Editor’s note: Need a lift? Ride along with a retired Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR) volunteer bus driver and By Tom Pinsonneault • GUEST COLUMNIST • discover who you will meet this week, and your destination, in another episode of “ACTR Riders” about Bertha.
“I write poetry,” Bertha said at one point during our ride. “You do?” I responded with amazed enthusiasm. She continued: “I have an entire collection of my poems right here.” She proudly waved a notebook before my eyes.
It’s not what you think. I know what you are thinking when you hear the name Bertha. There are certain names that are attached to stereotypical images and Bertha happens to be one of those names: You know “Big Bertha,” the name made infamous as a World War I German siege howitzer. And that 1914 weapon apparently inspired the Allies by their own stereotypical Berthas: overbearing, overweight with an extremely demonstrative female personality. But let’s see if now we can destroy this stereotype. The Bertha I know has the gift of gab. Be prepared to listen more that usual as you will be lucky to get a word in edgewise, at least that how it appears in the beginning. Bertha is a petite, Addison County woman, well dressed and her fingernails nicely manicured and decorated. It’s easy to see that this lady enjoys being well groomed with rings and pins and broaches to accent her outfits. ”I’m senile,” she remarked as she offered her comment with a sly smile and a devil-may-care giggle. When I asked her to show me her fingernails, upon close in-
“My psychologist has really encouraged me to write and write often.” “What is your poetry about? Is there a particular theme that you write about?” She mused: “People may think that there is a method to my madness but it’s mostly about my life and love of it and how I am content at this stage in my life.” “May I read some of your poetry?, ”Yes you may.” Need a lift?

spection, I discovered that they were not only smoothly polished, with a velvety red gloss, but also showcased designs of hearts befitting the Valentine season of this past February. ”I am 88 years old, but I am able to do everything myself and I’m pretty fit too,” she explained with an unmistakable glint of pride in her eyes. I held the bus door for her as she casually slid into
shotgun position, and we were ready to roll on one of the several trips we would take together. Bertha lost her husband (they were high school sweethearts, I was told) when he was only 60 years old. “The day he died is the day I learned how to drive,” she said. When she shared with me that she still drives a ’68 Caddy I almost drooled in envy;
As she slipped from the front seat to meet her appointment she turned to say: ”Let me know what you think on our ride home today.” And that is the way it was for us, for the last few drives; always praising her work. “Yes, my counselor says my poetry is very nice, but I rely on your opinions, which seem to flow from the heart.” “Wow,” I said, but not a sound made it passed my lips. And thus departed my ACTR poetess. May we ever meet, act and part, with warm words from the heart. ■

Pinwheel reminders of child abuse From News Reports THE EAGLE
CASTLETON | Pinwheel gardens, like the one at Community Health Centers of the Rutland Region (CHCRR), are popping up around Vermont as a symbol of Child Abuse Prevention Month. Vermont Gov. Phil Scott has officially proclaimed April Child Abuse Prevention month in Vermont. “We are planting pinwheels at CHCRR Pediatric to raise awareness of child abuse,” said Anne St. Clair, CHCRR pediatrics project leader. “They are a reminder that children deserve to be healthy, happy and safe at home and in the community. Children are the future and we at CHCRR provide the tools, care and support needed to help prevent child abuse,” she said. On Thursday, April 25 at 11:30 a.m., CHCRR staff and providers will be planting about 100 pinwheels at CHCRR Pediatrics, which is located at 1 General Wing Road in Rutland. The pinwheel garden demonstrates CHCRR’s support for the national, state and local efforts to proactively identify and eliminate child abuse and neglect through programs that educate, equip and alert anyone and everyone who has contact with children. “Sadly, child abuse and neglect affects each and every community,” said CHCRR Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Amy Pfenning. “We here at CHCRR Pediatrics are doing our part to bring awareness to these issues
and are working together to create an understanding of how people can help children who are in an unsafe situation or environment. It should never hurt to be a kid,” Pfenning said. Prevention does work, according to Prevent Child Abuse Vermont, a nonprofit that has served families and children in Vermont for 43 years. The group says that from 1990 to 2017, all forms of child abuse in Vermont have dropped by 34 percent. The group sponsors programs and support groups for parents about parenting, child neglect, shaken baby syndrome, head trauma, safe sleeping as well as the social and emotional wellbeing of children and families. Pinwheels have become a national symbol for childhood innocence, and the freedom and energy of great childhoods that all children deserve. Businesses, community groups and healthcare providers have shown support by planting a pinwheel garden during the month of April and letting the iconic blue wind-driven toy draw attention to and raise awareness of child abuse. Each April, the Children’s Bureau, within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, funds the National Child Abuse Prevention Month initiative. For more information, see the Child Welfare Information Gateway website. CHCRR is central Vermont’s largest network of primary care, pediatric and dental services with offices in Rutland, Brandon, Castleton, West Pawlet and Shoreham. Community dental offices are located in Rutland and Shoreham. ■

Middlebury women extend winning streak From Campus News Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE
MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury women extended their winning streak to double figures, as the third-ranked Panthers coasted past visiting Plymouth State University (PSU) 19-4 on last Wednesday for their 10th-straight victory. The hosts opened the scoring with 1:27 expired, as Emma McDonagh cut to the net and fired a shot past PSU goalie Emilee Wargo. Plymouth State tied the contest just over a minute later when Veronyca Daniels scored from the right side of the cage, after taking a feed from behind the net from Kimberly Zuccaro. Middlebury took control of the contest, scoring the next 11 goals for a 12-1 edge. McDonagh had four goals during that run and chipped in with a nice assist, setting up Kirsten Murphy for a tally off a freeposition attempt. Daniels got PSU back on the scoreboard with 7:50 on the clock on a move to the net, while Middlebury had the
final goal of the frame on a pretty bounce shot by Kate Zecca into the top-left corner of the net. The hosts held a 13-2 advantage at the half. In the opening 10 minutes of the second half, Middlebury increased the lead to 16-2, as McDonagh, Emily Barnard and Jane Earley each tallied. PSU netted back-to-back goals with Sydney Dubois getting the first and Daniels converting a free-position attempt while a player down, making it a 16-4 contest with 14:45 on the clock. Zecca got Middlebury’s offense going again in the final 10 minutes, cashing in on a feed from Lily Riseberg, while Henley Hall went straight to the net after her team won a draw control. Riseberg capped the scoring with 2:10 remaining, tucking in a shot from the right side, after receiving a pass from Madeline Riordan. McDonagh tied career highs with six goals and eight points, while Barnard had three goals and two assists and Zecca scored three times. Earley chipped in with two goals and five draw controls, while Addy Mitchell had six caused turnovers, which tied a career best.
Jane Earley recorded two goals and five draw controls in last week’s victory. Photo provided by Middlebury College

Goulet leads in win over Plymouth State From Campus News Reports CASTLETON UNI V ERSIT Y
CASTLETON | Behind a strong starting pitching performance from Cameron Goulet, the Castleton University baseball team defeated the Plymouth State Panthers 7-5 last Wednesday evening at Pappas Field on the campus of Franklin Pierce University. The Spartans improve to 11-11 overall and 3-3 in Little East action, while Plymouth State falls to 9-12 and 2-4 in conference play. Castleton got to the Plymouth State starter immediately, forcing him out after just 16 pitches. Leading off with a walk, Deagan Poland moved around to third after Davis Mikell singled to right. A double in the leftfield gap by Dylan Bailey plated the first run of the contest. Mikell proceeded to score in the next at-bat on a balk before Dillon Benham smacked a sacrifice fly. John Stewart III followed moments later to plate the Spartans fourth run of the frame. Taking advantage of two fielding errors in the
bottom of the fifth – allowing Matt Jackson and Benham to reach safely – Jaxon Millet crushed the offering to deep center. The double brought both runners around to score and was the first RBI of Millet’s career. He finished with two hits before being lifted for a pinch runner. Goulet turned in a strong performance, firing 5.1 innings and surrendering three hits. The junior hurler struck out eight opposing hitters and surrendered a solo shot in his only blemish of the evening. Coming out of the bullpen, Jacob Nadeau tossed 2.1 frames, fanning four Panthers. Andy Kenosh relieved him in the eighth and completed the contest, earning his first save of the year. Offensively, the Spartans recorded nine hits in the contest led by two apiece from Mikell and Bailey. Benham, Jackson and Poland each tallied a base knock. Refusing to back down, Plymouth State battled back in the eighth to score four runs, bringing the score to 7-5. Three of those runs came around on a two-out bases-clearing double by the Panthers’ centerfielder. ■

STUDENT SUCCESS: For Mount St. Joseph (MSJ) Academy’s Haitian students there are many common threads: attending school far from home, experiencing a different climate and culture and a desire to attend college in Vermont after completing high school in Rutland. MSJ ‘s International and Diversity Program attracted 10 students from Haiti this year. Pictured: students Claude Michel Anthony Thebaud, Mahalia Bijou, Ben Shemeya Geneus and Antoine Harold Edouard Saint Surin.

$100k for capital improvements
MIDDLEBURY | Following on the approval of Article 7 at Middlebury’s Town Meeting 2019, which authorized the Middlebury Selectboard to borrow up to $100,000 to finance capital improvements at the Memorial Sports Center, the board approved the following: A change in terms agreement extending the maturity date of the original 2008 loan an additional five years, to March 31, 2034, under the existing rate and terms; a five-year, $100,000 Municipal Capital Improvement Note with the National Bank of Middlebury at a fixed interest rate of 2.8 percent. All remaining principal plus accrued interest shall be due on April 9, 2024, unless the Selectboard elects, prior to maturity, to refinance the loan into a longerterm obligation; a management agreement extension with Friends of Middlebury Hockey for the operation of the Memorial Sports Center
for a term that is co-extensive with the two capital-improvement loans for the facility. ■
