VERGENNES Ñ The Boys & Girls Club of America began its long heritage of service to AmericaÕ s youth right here in New England, just one year before the first shots of the Civil War were fired. In 1860, only inner city boys in Connecticut and Massachusetts were served by the fledgling organization. Today, lots more has changed. Today, American young people face far more challenges compared to those of the 19th century. In the Little City of Vergennes, the Boys & Girls Club in its current form dates to the closing years of the 20th century; it continues to provide local girls and boys with a safe place to learn and grow, deep-forming relationships with caring, adult professionals CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Vermont House asks Congress to let students file for bankruptcy By Michael Bielawski Vermont Watchdog Report
Members of the Vermont House gave preliminary approval to J.R.H. 27, a joint resolution that calls for “federal action to alleviate the national student loan debt crisis.” Federal bankruptcy code prohibits student loan borrowers from declaring bankruptcy in most cases.
RUTLAND — With national student loan debt tripling to more than $1 trillion over the past decade and Vermont’s graduates stuck with the highest debt-to-earnings ratio, state lawmakers are urging Congress to let students file for bankruptcy. Members of the Vermont House gave preliminary approval to J.R.H. 27, a joint resolution that calls for “federal action to alleviate the national student loan debt crisis.” Federal bankruptcy code prohibits student loan borrowers from declaring bankruptcy in most cases. “The General Assembly requests Congress to amend the federal bankruptcy code to eliminate the prohibition on relief from federal or private student loan debt through the federal bankruptcy system,” the resolution states. J.R.H. 27 highlights sobering statistics illustrating the scope of problem. Nationwide, almost 7 million student loan borrowers, or 17 percent, are in default as of summer 2015.

Middlebury silhouettes are “ghosts” from the past ty before her untimely death at the age of 25. She was married to famous banjo clockmaker Joseph Dyar (1795-1850) who died when struck by a runaway horse when startled by the blast a passing train’s steam whistle. The identities of silhouette artists are rarely known, most were self-taught. But the exhibit does include several silhouettes by Middlebury artist Susan D. Parker (1854-1933), who studied art at the Cooper Institute and Art Students League in New York City. Parker’s silhouettes include Middlebury College’s Rev. Cyrus Hamlin, president of Middlebury College 1880-1885 whose administration first opened the class room to women. The art of silhouette making originated in 18th-century England as flat painted profiles on ivory or plaster. Silhouette paper cut outs soon followed, making it possible for families of all means to have their portraits made. There are two general techniques for making silhouettes: the hollow-cuts, used mostly for cutting bust portraits; and cut-outs, applied more often to full-figure renderings. To complement and enhance the exhibit, silhouette artist Carolyn Guest will be at the Sheldon Museum June 12 to cut silhouette portraits, both bust ($25) and full figure $55). During the summer, Dr. Laura Johnson of the Historic New England will present a talk “Profiles, Scissortypes, and Blockheads: the Art of
Ghost silhouette of Sylvia Drake and Charity Bryant, circa 1820, artist unknown, at Middlebury’s Sheldon Museum of Vermont History. New England Silhouettes”. For details, contact the Henry Sheldon Museum is located at One

MIDDLEBURY Ð Since it was founded in 1882, the Henry Sheldon Museum has collected unique silhouettes of historical Addison County residents, both of the well-known and of the common folk. A silhouette is a likeness of a person, bust or full body, cut from paper. Because of their fragility, the silhouettes are rarely seen by the public, but until Sept. 3, two dozen of these singular portrait images, spanning over a century from 1800s to 1900s, will be on view. Archivist Eva Garcelon-Hart searched the Sheldon collection, identified the most stunning, long-overlooked silhouettes, researched the biographies of the sitters, and curated this historic exhibit. There are silhouettes of politicians, local doctors, academics, and artisans who had considerable impact on local history and whose lives are well documented in news accounts and local histories. For example on view is an exceptional portrait of William Slade (1786–1859), who represented Vermont in the U.S. House of Representatives (1831-1843) and was governor of Vermont (1844-1846). Less is known about the women represented by the silhouettes, except for the stunning double silhouette of now celebrated same-sex couple Sylvia Drake (1784-1868) and Charity Bryant (1777-1851). A precious silhouette of Love Brooks Dyar (1801-1826) records her beau-

Up in smoke
hat old familiar American slang, “Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em,” began during the 1940s when soldiers fighting in World War 2 needed an excuse to take a break—many liked to smoke a tobacco cigarette, assuming they “had ‘em” to smoke, what with limited rations of such luxury items on the front lines. Well, flash forward to 2016: Now it looks like Vermonters won’t be able to smoke ‘em, because, well, we ain’t got ‘em— legal, recreational marijuana cigarettes, that is. A decades-long movement in this state to legalize recreational marijuana use, as well as its private and commercial cultivation, died May 3 (for the time being) when the Vermont House defeated the furious efforts of both Democratic and Progressive lawmakers. The Senate-approved S.241, a bill that would have undergirded a pot industry here starting in 2018, went down in flames in the House. One of the House’s pot legalization champions, Progressive State Rep. Chris Pearson of Burlington, was especially “bummed” by the turn of events under the Golden Dome against the pot smokers this month. “Prohibition (of marijuana) fails because we have $150 million worth of economic activity related to cannabis every year in Vermont,” Pearson was quoted by a Vermont Watchdog news report. “It fails because use, frankly, is rampant. The Rand Report suggested 80,000 Vermonters enjoy cannabis every month. It’s hard to argue that the way we are approaching marijuana is working well.” Wow, 80,000 pot users in Vermont? Considering a state population, as of 2014, of 626,562 people, there sure are a lot of potheads in the neighborhood, dude. According to the same report by Vermont Watchdog, House Republicans wanted to give Vermonters a unique chance to decide about the pot issue for themselves; it would have been a rare chance for a direct referendum by voters in a state which likes to brag about its pioneering, democratic ways. “As the House prepared to vote, Minority Leader Don Turn-
UseÊ yourÊ voteÊ wisely
er, R-Milton, offered to... let voters decide on whether or not to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Turner’s plan proposed a non-binding referendum during the 2016 primary election,” according to Watchdog. Even though Turner was willing to let Vermonters decide for themselves in the ballot box, he has been an opponent of recreational pot use. “...I can’t understand how putting more marijuana in people’s hands is going to reduce the problem (of drug abuse),” Turner said. In the end, the House—even “direct democracy” Democrats and Progressives—rejected Turner’s unique, direct referendum idea. Even Democrat lawmakers had to conclude that legalizing recreational pot—at least at this time—is a bad idea. State Rep. Marcia Martel, R-Waterford, said, “I voted ‘no’ on this bill. Human nature is to always want more. We allow two plants then they want four. Before you know it, everyone has their field of dreams in their backyard. What a great example for our young generation to grow up with.” State Rep. Tony Klein, D-East Montpelier, had only this to add about the day the pot bill died: “(It was a) disappointing outcome. So much for Vermont’s reputation as a liberal state.” However, we must look out of state for sounder arguments against the legalization of recreational pot. There’s this one from New Mexico State Rep. William Rehm, R-Albuquerque, made last year when his fellow state lawmakers debated legalization in the Land of Enchantment: “The perception of (pot) risk is a problem. Because as we lower penalties or decriminalize, or however you want to word it, we now imply that it is a safe drug.” Then we can add to RehmÕ s comment the words of the late, great Merle Haggard. The popular C&W singer/songwriter died April 6; he wrestled with heavy pot use for decades: “The one thing that they donÕ t teach you about marijuana is how addictive it is,” Haggard said. The Eagle
Letters to the Editor
To the Editor: The political campaigns are zeroing in on conventions, nominations, and subsequent elections. Here is something to ponder as we get closer to the ultimate goal. Let’s travel back in time to 1929. The Great Depression spread havoc throughout the world. This economic disaster brought a giant like America to its knees and plagued many nations in varying degrees. Each affected nation sought ways to crawl from beneath the weight of this economic collapse. Fast forward to three years later, 1932. A political outsider known for his fiery speeches promised a renewal to greatness. He promised an economic and social Renaissance as he led this fringe politi-
cal party (NSDAP). His rhetoric touched a large segment of society and he was voted into power in 1932. By 1933 many of his promises materialized into reality. By 1938 he was named Time Magazine’s “Man of the Year.” Enter Adolf Hitler elected by the people. Now in 2016 does America possess the same social, political, and economic issues that fanned the flames of extremism back in the 30’s. Maybe not all the issues exist in the same degree, but do some echo the fanatical speeches of another time and place? In conclusion, do I think America is headed down the identical path to the abyss? Absolutely not, but I sincerely hope that all American voters use the next six months to seriously think about their vote. It’s a powerful tool, use it wisely! Don’t squander it! We have an obligation to vote to enhance the beauty of freedom. Kenneth Sausa Lake Placid, NY

America the angry
I
n the world in which we live today, opinions are no longer left at the water cooler, corner bar or on the front porch. The advent of the internet, social media and 24/7 taking heads have perpetuated a growing outlet for an opinionated public. Sadly, it would appear that giving voice to the masses has generated more anger versus providing a relief valve for us to just “get it off our chests”. Dan Alexander In this enlighten age we all Thoughts from should have an opinion and the Behind the Pressline right to voice that opinion, there is no argument there. But then what? As a freedom loving people, how can we resolve these disagreements that are growing in our society? Disagreements that range from the simple to the extremely complex and from the most bizarre to the most deadly; A place where bodily harm is committed in the name of being right. I was always taught the truth was the easiest information to provide as it required nothing but the plain simple facts. It seems to me that we have mastered the ability to shape the truth to fit our purpose so well, it then becomes the truth in the minds and hearts of those who crafted it. There in lies the biggest risk to the freedom we must share. We all want the truth, because in truth is fairness and reality. But when the truth is shaped for public consumption and is built around half truths and personal opinion that is where things go askew. Once people start accepting and arguing for the shaped version of the truth from an agenda driven perspective, we find ourselves completely lost without any sense of a compass that once always pointed true north. It is difficult for people who seek the truth to not be deceived when it is provided by a perceived trusted source. But exactly who can be trusted? Each of us needs to be less accepting of what we hear. Be more willing to respectfully question the source, while relying on the core values we’ve been given and good old basic common sense. We must also accept the fact that the real truth may be painful, but those who choose to shape the truth to avoid the pain are doing a disservice to themselves and the people they serve. When we only listen to those views that mirror our own we become less likely to be open minded and if we continue down this path as the trend seems to be forecasting, it’s difficult to see how the anger will lessen. Our search for the truth is what will keep our country strong. Openness, respect for our fellow citizen, fairness, equality to all and acceptance of differing views with a willingness to compromise must continue to be the basis for what we as a nation are all about.

BikeÊ event To the Editor: Given prediction of rain this afternoon, today’s Bike Safety Fair at Mary Hogan School will be postponed to Wed June 1. June 1 is also our last Walk & Roll to School Day of the year and when we take 6th graders on a bike ride from Mary Hogan to MUMS and back to teach how to navigate this safely and give them root beer floats. We’ll combine the 6th grade bike ride with the Bike Safety Fair on June 1. There will be helmets, bike checks, a safety course and prizes. We also hope to display abandoned bikes collected by Middlebury Police Department and sell or give away any that have been in storage for more than a year. Walk and Roll to School Day happens every first Wed of month, rain or shine. Nothing stops this except extreme ice or cold. Students and families have been great participants all year. The Mary Hogan School class with the most walkers and rollers today will be awarded the golden shoe trophy and a fancy fruit plate. Students may be counted if they walked from at least from the top of the rec park by the courthouse, the path from Buttolph Dr to the school, along one of the walking school bus routes or promise to walk for at least 20 minutes during recess today. We count those who arrived by bike, scooter, ACTR or school bus--as long as you didn’t get dropped off right in front of the school by car. We ask those who arrive by bus if they walked to their bus stops. We gave bookmarks asking what they observed by walking today and tips for safe walking and riding. We appreciate our helpers this morning: Officer Chris Mason, Ilsley’s Tricia Allen, Mary Hogan’s Kim Franklin, ACTR’s Mary Crogan, and several parents. We asked Mary Hogan families to complete a Parent Survey for Walking and Biking to School. It’ s due by this Friday May 8. We rely on this data to track our progress and get grants to improve road, sidewalk and parking lot safety, as seen in the Mary Hogan School parking lot and with crosswalk safety flags. Look for rapid flashing beacon lights coming soon to some of our more troublesome crosswalks at Middlebury Inn and Cross Street and sidewalk on Creek Road. We invite families to attend the Sustainability Expo at Middlebury Union Middle School on Sat May 14, 9-4. It features lots of workshops, exhibits, local food, and a practice bike ride from MUMS to East Middlebury and back. We’ve made lots of effort to deepen our work with MUMS on bike use and are impressed by the full bike rack we’ve often seen there. We’re also offering “bikeology” training the week of June 27 through Midd Parks & Rec summer camp program. Don’t hesitate to be in touch if you’d like to help with our efforts or have any suggestions toward increased and safe walking and biking. Thank you.

Vermont’s climate economy partnership A
t the Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD) we get to work with rural towns throughout Vermont where we rally everyone to pull together, review all the issues before the community, evaluate potential collective action, set priorities, and line up together to advance the economy, attract youth, build senior housing or childrenÕ s playgrounds, boost agriculture, and build energy committees or downtown associations. We see the best of democracy in action. We see patriotism and pride—in community, for the working landscape, and in support of local economic innovation. At VCRD, we think there is a huge Vermont story to add up: working lands, digital economy, energy, entrepreneurism, efficiencies. We think VT has the assets, the scale, and the civic culture to model solutions to climate change for this country, and that branding ourselves as a leader in this arena is one way to address our fundamental need of attracting and retaining youth and stimulating local entrepreneurial development. We are inviting Vermonters to join with us in the Vermont Climate Economy Partnership to advance practical and positive ways to spur creative business solutions and boost Vermont’s economic competitiveness in an age where carbon will be constrained, clean energy valued, and the wise use and reuse of resources essential. Members of the partnership will work together to do several things: Celebrate innovative businesses and promote Vermont as a welcoming place for climate entrepreneurism; Promote public policies to advance all fuels efficiency and economic development that provides jobs while reducing Vermont’s carbon impact; and, Support the progress of Vermont communities. What is in our power here in Vermont? While the great majority of people today recognize
the science around climate change, many have come to believe that either it’s too late to prevent, or that changing our behavior won’t solve the problem because other people and places are not taking responsibility. But we know, really, that unless there is mutual action then climate disruption will be continually magnified, and we also know that we have a collective generational responsibility to bend the curve. On the other side, we know that there will be places that take leadership in the climate economy and stimulate, nurture and attract innovation and entrepreneurship, and that these places will have competitive ad-
vantages in the economic future. We should build on Vermont’s assets, brand reputation, and the panoply of creative businesses already here to declare that we will be one of those places. Vermont can be accused of thinking it is more important than it is. Sure. Let’s keep a lid on arrogance, but let’s use our pride in this place: let’s recognize the economic opportunity in this time, and, by leading change, let’s pick up the mantle of our patriotic responsibility, and renew it. Paul Costello is executive director of the VCRD.

Another costly big government headache? T
hree times in modern history Vermonters have witnessed a political battle over public power. During the 1960s, young liberal Democratic Gov. Philip Hoff tried to break the political influence of the (largely Republican) investor owned utilities, CVPS and GMP. The Republican legislature rejected his proposal for a state power authority to import power from the St. Lawrence Seaway and Canadian sources. One immediate result of Hoff’s failed campaign was the creation by CVPS and GMP of the 600 MW Vermont Yankee Nuclear Station in Vernon. Their thinking was that Yankee would give Vermont “energy independence” and defeat liberal demands for imported public power. It went online in 1972. The issue arose again in 2003, when USGen slipped into bankruptcy. The company owned six dams on the Connecticut River, two small dams on the Deerfield River in Vermont, plus other dams and three fossil fuel plants in southern New England. In 2004 the legislature created a Vermont Hydroelectric Power Authority to bid in the bankruptcy court for the USGen “package”, with the expectation that the Authority could offload the non-Vermont assets to partners. After careful study of the issue, the VHPA submitted a bid of $303 million, but lost out to a $505 million bid of a company called TransCanada. It took over the USGen assets in 2005and the VHPA expired in 2007. Now we’re into yet another debate on the subject. In March TransCanada put the same assets up for sale. Again the “public power” cry was heard in the Statehouse, now under full Democratic control. In April Gov. Shumlin and his legislative leaders appointed a working group to chart a path toward that goal. Last Wednesday it called, not surprisingly, for a resurrection of the VHPA.
David Brown, a retired information technology executive in St. Johnsbury, has analyzed the prospects of a new state power authority purchasing just the eight dams, with a total rated capacity of 541 MW. Brown notes that the eight dams have only enough water flow to provide short-term “peaking power”, not steady long-term baseload power. When the New England grid operator (ISO-NE) foresees a shortage a day ahead, it calls on all of the regionÕ s peaking power units to offer amounts and prices. If the dam system wins the bidding, its selected dams open the flow through their turbines, bearing in mind that they have to close them down when their water levels get too low. The Vermont Yankee nuclear plant, now gone forever, had a capacity factor of over 90 percent; that is, over an 18-month fuel cycle the plant produced full power steadily over 90 percemt of the time. The capacity factor of the eight Connecticut and Deerfield River dams is around 26 percent, which is even lower than that of well-sited wind turbines. Far from supplying steady, reliable power to Vermont homes, farms and businesses, Brown says, the dams will be competing to sell their power – hour by hour –into the New England grid – not specifically into Vermont. What assurance would there be that the revenue earned from winning those auctions would be sufficient to operate and maintain the dams, pay property taxes to 25 Vermont towns, and make the payments to bondholders who financed the system’s purchase - let alone produce profit to pay for other state government spending? Or be used to subsidize politically-favored businesses in the name of economic development? Would the Authority’s bonded debt finance a public purpose, and thus be Federal tax exempt, or would the bond interest be
taxable? Would the bonds be full faith and credit obligations of the state, and thus putting the state’s coveted bond rating in jeopardy? Or would they be riskier “moral obligation” bonds, which bear higher rates of interest? Would state control over 541 MW of peaking power give Vermont a stronger bargaining position with HydroQuebec, whose giant dams will provide one sixth of Vermont’s electric load – all baseload - in 2017 (reduced from 31% by pressure from the Shumlin administration to make room for more electricity from heavily subsidized in-state wind and solar)? Would the 25 Vermont towns which now haggle with TransCanada over property tax payments have better luck haggling with the new owner, the chronically strapped state of Vermont, over Payments In Lieu Of Taxes? Would a resurrected Vermont Hydroelectric Power Authority be likely to quickly get up to speed as a small player in the complex New England power market? The Shumlin AdministrationÕ s never ending $200+ million struggle with Vermont Health Connect is certainly not reassuring. Large publicly-owned baseload hydropower, such as the New York Power Authority at Niagara Falls, can work efficiently. But the skeptics view a state-owned peaking-power-only generating authority based on the Connecticut River dams as an ideologically-driven lurch into more incompetent Big Government, whose quite possible inability to earn enough to pay its bondholders could require an infusion of tax dollars to salvage the state’s bond rating. They may be very hard to convince otherwise. John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute (www.ethanallen.org).

faults, or 6 percent, compared to 2014. Student loan debt tripled between 2005 and 2015, rising to $1.19 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Consumer Credit Panel. Interest rates aren’t helping much. Direct subsidized and unsubsidized undergraduate student loans have a rate of 4.29 percent for 2015-2016, but other federal student loan rates have been as high as 9 percent in recent years. Graduate and professional federal student loan interest rates in the Direct PLUS Loans program currently stand at 6.84 percent. While the resolution doesnÕ t detail VermontÕ s student loan woes, a U.S. Congressional Joint Economic Committee report from 2013 found that Vermont graduates have the highest student loan debtto-earnings ratio in the nation, according to Vermont Business Magazine. “In Vermont, 63 percent of college graduates hold student loans. The average balance is $28,860. That debt load amounts to 82 percent of the average annual income for recent graduates, a ratio of debt to earnings that ranks Vermont the highest in the nation and the only state over 80 percent,” the article states. The resolution adopted Monday urges the U.S. Department of Education “to devise new debt relief programs that effectively address the problems that individuals with low income are encountering in repaying their student loans.” The request will be sent to U.S. Secretary of Education John King and to the Vermont Congressional Delegation. Chris D’Elia, president of the Vermont Bankers Association, tes-
www.addison-eagle.com tified before the House Education Committee last Thursday on the matter. “What we’ve seen in our world over time is this growing debt crisis,” D’Elia said. “People have been given access to funding and they’ve racked up these student loans at 6.9 or 7.9 percent interest, which is outrageous from our perspective. At some point we think this is all going to come crumbling down. “A lot of people in my industry think this is the next crisis, the next bubble that is going to burst out there. How are we going to deal with all of these students and these parents who are likely going to default? We are already seeing defaulting numbers going up and up.” Despite the high rate of defaults, federal lenders aren’t losing money. In 2014, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., citing a Government Accountability Office report, expressed shock that federal lenders were on pace to produce $66 billion in profits for the U.S. government for loans originating between 2007 and 2012. D’Elia said young people are putting off important life decisions such as marriage or home purchases because of looming debts. “It’s tough enough paying off $34,000 worth of debt and trying to put 20 percent away to buy a home or buy a car,” he said. “And then look at the economic environment and job opportunities, and does your income match up with what you need in order to live?” Beth Pearce, Vermont’s state treasurer, also spoke before the committee. “Clearly student debt is up at an alarming rate. I think I saw the number $1.2 trillion, and that was as of last December,” she said. “That’s a pretty scary situation.” Pearce said students should receive financial counseling when
Published by New Market Press, Inc. they take student loans so that “it isn’t just a factory spitting out loans.” Rep. Alice Miller, D-Shaftsbury, a member of the House Education Committee, said fewer Vermont kids are even going to college. “We have a very high graduation rate from high school in Vermont but a very low rate of high school graduates going on to college, and I believe that’s because of the costs,” Miller told Vermont Watchdog. “(It’s especially true) for first-generation students — kids who are the first in their families to go to college. That’s very serious because in today’s world you just can’t make the living that you used to be able to make with just a high school degree.” Miller said the state contributes little to higher education. “Vermont is unable to give more financial aid, and therefore the schools have to increase the tuition because they are not getting support from the state,” she said. “The reason is because we are very small and we don’t have the money. We have so many needs in this state for parents and children, and so many health costs, education, special needs, just all kinds of things.” Miller said student loans will likely be a top priority for the committee during next year’s session. She also expressed confidence that Vermont’s elected representatives in Washington will make things happen this year. “They are very responsive to us, very much so,” said Miller. “I mean Congressman Welch, Senator Sanders, Senator LeahyÑ each of them are very responsive. That is one of the great things about this state.” J.R.H 27 is scheduled for its third and final reading on the House floor by presstime Contact Michael Bielawski at mbielawski@watchdog.org.

and role models, life-enhancing programs and character development experiences, and best of all—a place for hope and opportunity that’s close to home. Last week, Mike Rederer, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Vergennes, was a guest of the Vergennes Lions. It was a public opportunity to learn about the local club’s mission, accomplishments, and challenges. Vergennes Lion President Chuck Burkins and fellow Lion Larry Simino welcomed Rederer to the group. Rederer spoke about the growth of the club during the past 17 years, 12 of which have been in their current location. Boys & Girls Club improvements include a kitchen and better bathroom facilities along with a shower and laundry area. The club’s landlord is installing new ceilings and lighting. “Mike said that for years, they have had a feeling that what they had was good enough,” Simino noted. “But the directors have decided that ‘good enough’ is not good enough.” When Rederer began as director at the Vergennes club, the poverty level of local youth was approximately 30 percent, now—with loss of jobs, a higher cost of living, and increased taxes throughout Vermont—the poverty level among club youth has climbed 50 percent reflecting community challenges in the adult population as well. “There are currently 116 members of the club with an average daily attendance of 20,” Simino said. “Each year the club is evaluated, by the national organization, on a number of key areas, and
www.addision-eagle.com that they consistently meet or exceed 11 of the 13 areas. He is hoping some of the planned improvements will help them meet the final two areas – one of which is outside activity.” At the Lions Club meeting, Rederer introduced Jessica Francise to attendees. She was hired as the Boys & Girls Club’s program director recently. “He sees Jessica helping to meet their mission “to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens,” Simino said. After the talk, Burkins presented Rederer with a check for $500. On behalf of the Boys & Girls Club, Rederer thanked the Vergennes Lions for their ongoing support and encouragement. “In recent weeks, the Vergennes Lions have also donated $500 to the Vermont Association of the Blind and Visually Impaired and $1,000 to the Bixby Library in Vergennes,” Simino noted. Tickets for the Lions’ annual vehicle raffle are available and planning for the Vergennes Memorial Day community activities are underway. According to Simino, July 13 has been designated the day for the Annual Vergennes Lions Charity Auction.

Wood named CoSIDA Academic All-District From News Reports
CASTLETON — Castleton University junior pitcher Kayla Wood was named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District I team for her work on the field and in the classroom. The CoSIDA Academic All-District Teams recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their excellence on the field and in the classroom. The District Teams are divided into eight geographic locations and further delineated by Division I, II & III. Wood was one of two players from the North Atlantic Conference to be honored, along with Lyndsay Merrill of Husson. Wood is a two-time NAC First-Team All-Conference selection who ranked among the best in the NAC in six major pitching categories, including league-leading marks in shutouts (3), saves (2), ERA (0.81) and batting average against (.160). Her six wins in conference play ranked her third in the NAC, while she was the only pitcher to record double-digit strikeouts per game in conference play, at 11.22. Wood also ranks among the top 10 in the nation in ERA, hits allowed per seven innings and strikeouts per seven innings. Off the field, Wood is a Physical Education major with 3.86 GPA. She has been named to the Dean’s List three times and the President’s List twice. All-District selections now advance to the Capital One Academic All-America Team ballot, where first, second and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this spring.

Despite wet, Maple Run a success From News Reports
MIDDLEBURY — Last Sunday’s Middlebury Maple Run, despite the damp weather, was a success, according to Sue Hoxie of the Addison County Chamber of Commerce. “There were almost 700 runners on the course--either running the full 13.1 miles or splitting it between a two-person relay team,” Hoxie said. Both the top male (Lee Berube of Syracuse, N.Y.) and female (Phoebe Novello of West Windsor, Vt.) finishers were a few seconds off the course records that had been set in 2015. Novello was the second overall finisher. “Thanks to the 100-plus volunteers who helped make it happen and a small committee of dedicated people who work behind the scenes to help make it all happen,” Hoxie noted. “Race proceeds will be distributed among Homeward Bound, Open Door Clinic, HOPE, MiddSummer Lunch Program, and Charter House Coalition.”
