RUTLAND | An official of People’s United Community Foundation, the philanthropic arm of People’s United Bank, announced that the organization awarded $52,000 to Vermont nonprofits during its most recent grant cycle.

Karen Galbo, executive director of the People’s United Community Foundation, funding was allocated to 11 nonprofit organizations in support of activities that ranged from basic needs services and affordable housing initiatives, to education and workforce development programs.

Last week, the Mentor Connector of downtown Rutland received $4,000 from the foundation for its mission of providing leadership and guidance help for local young people.

EPA OKs Roundup, again

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MONTPELIER | Vermonters are taking a cautious approach to the use of Roundup after the Environmental Protection Agency recently announced that the prime chemical ingreNUTSEDGE! dient does not cause cancer.

Manufactured by Bayer-Monsanto, the popular herbicide is used by many Vermont farmers, municipalities and homeowners. The chemical is applied to maintain crop integrity and clear property of unwanted weeds such as wild parsnips.

Roundup, whose principal ingredient is glyphosate, has been linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in a highly publicized case from outside the state.

Roundup’s glyphosate is an herbicide salt. It is KILLSYELL OW

applied to plants as a means of killing unwanted broadleaf plants and grasses.

In Vermont, Roundup has been used in feed cornfields by traditional dairy farms but shunned boyy organic farmers. org Not l' all environmental groups in Vermont have taken a stand regardVen ing ing the Roundup controversy. For example, the Vermont Natural e Resources Council (VNRC) takes sides on other charged environmental issues, but not so in the case of Roundup’s use.

“We have not gotten involved in herbicide issues in the state and we don’t know the answers to your questions (about the use of Roundup).

We are not one of the environmental groups that’s been fl saying Roundup causes cancer,” said Stephanie Gomory, communications director of VNRC.

Tickets are $20 per person. Classes will be at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. and running about an hour each class.

MIDDLEBURY | Meet PAXTON: Paxton is a super sweet, 3-year-old silver lab who came to us when his owner was unable to provide him care. He was loved by his family and it shows. He can’t get enough of snuggles and playtime. He is shy at first, but after meeting you a couple times begins to come out of his shell.

Paxton is house-trained, very active, friendly to family and friends who came in and out of the home and is a total attention hog and lap dog. He will need to be crated when you aren’t home as he can chew. He has lived with a female dog and cat happily. He and the cat slept near each other, played, and the cat tolerated Paxton’s chasing. Paxton and the female pup he lived with played together with no problems.

Paxton likes rough play (be it with cats or dogs), toys of all kinds, and to chase and play tug. He loves car rides and enjoys napping in the backseat. He is a bit protective of his food and may growl when other animals approach him while eating, but has never shown aggression.

Paxton’s family lovingly gave him to Homeward Bound, knowing that he would find the very best new home. He is truly a big mush who just wants to be your daily buddy. He is ready to go home as soon as you are ready to visit the shelter in Middlebury. ■ — You can include Homeward Bound in your will. Ask how.

I was nervous and stressed when I fi rst arrived but I am finding myself getting more and more comfortable each day. I like being held and lap time is an all-time favorite. I also enjoy getting my cheeks rubbed and ears scratched. Sometimes at night when I go to sleep, I close my eyes and dream of what my forever home will be like. I dream of an abundance of cat treats, snuggles and a soft bed.

I have lived with dogs, cats and children, so I think I could slip right into most homes and do quite well. I am a sweet, social fella who loves some good lap time. I will sit on your lap and knead myself

I am as cute as can be. I’m sweet and fun and I have lots of energy. I’ll need lots of exercise and play time.

And, of course, I’m not house trained yet. I love to run and play and dig holes and do all of those fun puppy things. I arrived at RCHS on June13 from a busy shelter in New Jersey and I’m happy to be in Vermont.

FOODAROO

dazzles with food, music, performance

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury’s fi fth annual food, music, street performer festival proved that the early summer event has staying power. Based on the size of the crowd attending the event at the Marble Works on June 23, this year’s edition may have been the biggest yet.

Presented by Middlebury UndergrounD (MUD), Foodaroo accomplishes what other festivals can only dream about: that is, it brings together some of Vermont’s more eclectic culinary artisans and beverage makers, with an emphasis

on Addison County and nearby vendors and farms.

This year’s attendees were relaxed and enjoyed a warm, sunny afternoon with the aroma of food and cannabis smoke drifting across the Marble Works.

Th is year’s event included a rousing performance by Boston-based, Australian-American Alakazam, whose real name is Al Millar.

An international street, circus and sideshow performer, Millar’s act includes body contortions (like slipping through a destringed, squash racquet), blue comedy (perhaps not quite so appropriate for some of the youngsters present), and highly skilled, dare-devil stunts.

Probably unknown to most Foodaroo attendees is the fact that Millar was a celebrated grand finalist on “Australia’s Got Talent” TV show and has performed in 37 countries ever since.

In addition to Millar’s quirky circus act and a live rock band, attendees enjoyed an unusual selection of vendors which included cooking competitions, dancers and the best of Vermont’s burgeoning maker movement.

According to MUD officials, Foodaroo donates a portion of its 2019 proceeds to the United Way of Addison County. Additional proceeds will act as a seed-starter, of sorts, for future Middlebury Underground community events, such as the Bread and Puppet Circus show coming to the Marble Works on Aug. 7. ■

Middlebury’s fifth annual food, music, street performer festival proved that the early summer event has staying power. New Agey food, live music, All Millar’s Alakazam Show, and more helped set the stage for the 2019 edition.

Improving Vermont’s airports

Last week, Gov. Phil Scott signed three bills which will go a long way in supporting the state’s economic and workforce development efforts.

The bills relate to expanding worker recruitment initiatives, growing the emerging distilled spirits industry, and streamline infrastructure projects at state airports.

Of special interest is S. 162.

Scott signed S.162, which supports economic development at airports, and H.13, which supports the spirits and craft beverage sector. A third bill, H.533, is aimed at expanding Vermont’s work-

force and other economic development initiatives.

What got our attention is S.162 which is especially important to Addison and Rutland counties’ link to the nation’s air transport network.

“The state’s aviation and aeronautics industries are positioned to bring economic development benefits statewide,” said Transportation Secretary Joe Flynn last week after Scott signed the bill.

“Our 10 state airports have seen millions of dollars of investments over the past decade.

The ability to offer a pre-permitted parcel of land to a potential investor at a state-owned

============-============

airport is an incredible asset. With this new tool in our toolbox, we will advance the readyto-build land for the development of new aircraft hangars, aviation business and aviation industrial development,” Flynn noted.

In our opinion, S.162 was, perhaps, the more important bill signed last week since it streamlines permitting and paves the way for renewable energy projects, supporting new aviation technologies and businesses at the state’s airports, especially in Middlebury and Rutland.

Guest viewpoint

A legislative wrapup for 2019

By John McClaughry GUEST COLUMNIST

The 2019 Vermont legislative session is now history, and it’s worth taking stock of its accomplishments, both positive and negative.

On the plus side, the FY2020 general fund budget is balanced (up 3.1 percent), that is, it’s balanced if the $55 million FY2019 surplus projected last January actually shows up. The main reason for the surplus is the economic boom produced by the 2017 tax bill enacted by a Republican President and Congress. Naturally, the Democrats in Montpelier aren’t eager to make that point, but they’re very happy to spend the money.

The new money allowed the legislature to dedicate 6 percent of the 9 percent rooms and meals tax to fund the EPA-required Lake Champlain cleanup. That leaves a $9 million hole in the General Fund next year, to be filled by the newfound surplus money without raising any tax rates. Whether this scheme will reliably fill $12 million holes in following years may prove to be a troublesome question.

Another $27.5 million of the new money will go to funding post-retirement health care benefits for state employees. The legislative leadership, pressed by the state employees’ and teachers’ unions, is commendably trying to catch up, although the $4.5 billion total liability won’t be funded in anyone’s lifetime.

Remarkably, House and Senate Democrats failed to pass their two highest priority measures,

the minimum wage increase and a payroll tax-financed family leave program. Gov. Scott is likely to again veto a minimum wage increase and probably a payroll tax leave bill. Some House Democrats are starting to listen to small business concerns, and some are worrying about the increased costs to the Medicaid home care budget. There may well be enough of them to join with Republicans to sustain a veto. We’ll find out next year.

The “yield” bill that determines local school property tax rates contained a one cent increase in residential and nonresidential yields. As Rob Roper has pointed out, “this is necessary to fund an additional $70.5 million in new spending this year — an increase of 4.5 percent — for a system that continues to lose student population. K-12 enrollment dropped from 76,220 to 75,510 between the 2016-17 school year and the 2017-18 school year, continuing a 20-year trend that shows no signs of slowing.” No matter how many students disappear, public school spending will never turn downwards so long as the public sector enjoys its unionized monopoly.

The battle against the menace of Climate Change proceeded apace, although without the revenues from the failed carbon tax there isn’t much money available. The legislature voted more subsidies for plug-in electric vehicles “to help Vermonters benefit from electric driving, including Vermont’s most vulnerable.” The transportation

bill found $1.8 million to pay for two electric city buses for Burlington. That bill also diverted $5.2 million from fixing deteriorating highways to subsidizing passenger rail from Rutland to Burlington, certainly one of the state’s least pressing needs.

The proposed doubling of the heating oil tax to fund more home weatherization failed, but the legislators did find $1.7 million to expand this giveaway program, instead of asking the beneficiaries to pay for the weatherization from their energy savings.

Another last-minute provision mandated a study of launching passenger rail between Barre and Montpelier — all of seven miles.

That would give wind tower and solar panel mogul David Blittersdorf a chance to turn his five dieselpowered Budd cars into moneymakers instead of museum pieces.

On the plus side, the legislature gave up trying to impose a tax penalty on Vermonters who haven’t bought state-approved health insurance.

All those people have to do is tell the state that they aren’t complying, and the state will assign an outreach person to try to change their minds. On the down side, the legislature prohibited any new association health plans, because they were letting people escape the clutches of Obamacare.

Thanks to Democratic Senators Kitchel, Mazza and Ashe, the Senate again refused to accept Rep. George Till’s primary seat belt law, which would allow the cops to stop and ticket any adult driver for not having

his or her seat belt buckled.

On the down side, the legislators approved a 24-hour waiting period for a lawful handgun purchase. It’s supposed to reduce suicides, but more likely it will leave a helpless woman defenseless when her angry ex comes by with revenge in mind.

A notably nutty bill is the plastic bag ban. Next year, your grocer can’t put your purchases into a one-use plastic bag. Why? Because those bags are made out of natural gas, and we need to burn that natural gas to provide grid backup power to all those wind towers and solar panels that only produce a third of the time.

(Actually no one made that argument, but you’d think the climate warriors would rather turn natural gas into plastic bags than burn it and release carbon dioxide.)

Instead of the plastic bag, the store can sell you, for 10 cents, a nice paper bag made by slashing and chipping the forests that the budget bill declares “are important for carbon absorption.”

Bills not acted upon this session are alive for 2020 so we’ll probably see more silly and potentially economy-wrecking climate change brainstorms, at least until the needs of dependent families, Medicaid recipients, deteriorating highways, lake cleanup, retirement funds and other really important causes gain the upper hand in the competition for available funding. ■ - John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute (ethanallen.org).

Bray noted that he is not aware of any “horror stories” regarding cancer scares related to the use of the herbicide in the Green Mountain State.

Coltan Jack Brundage TICONDEROGA | Coltan Jack Brundage was born to Lindsey Greenough and Michael Brundage on June 12, 2019.

The baby boy was born at Porter Medical Center in Middlebury, Vermont, at 9:32 p.m. He weighed 8 lbs 9.9 oz and was 22.25 inches long.

Maternal grandparents are Jim and Tasha Greenough and Melinda Smith. Paternal grandparents are Harry and Lois Brundage. At home, Coltan joins his big brother Aidan. ■

impact on human health, as determined by the best science available,” he added.

Cary Giguere, director of Public Health, Agricultural Resource Management at the Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets, doesn’t believe the EPA announcement means an automatic “green light” for using Roundup without care.

“I would suggest that the EPA’s statement isn’t necessarily refuting the decision of the courts but maintaining that when the scientific data is reviewed glyphosate has not been linked to cancer,” Giguere said. “A jury hearing oral arguments made a different decision. So, the current opinion about glyphosate was not born out of the best available science but by a jury of our peers. Both are valid methods of reaching decisions but have different ramifications.” ■ Note: A detailed version of this story first appeared on True North Reports online.

Vermont is the ninth most expensive state for rural (non-metro) areas and the 16th most expensive state in the nation for renters. Pictured: Middlebury’s South Village apartments.

“They can afford just $697 a month for their housing costs, while the average statewide Fair Market Rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,184 a month and $945 a month for a onebedroom,” the report states. “Vermont’s onebedroom Housing Wage is $18.18 an hour.”

The study reports that at Vermont’s current minimum wage of $10.78, a wage earner must have 2.1 full-time jobs or work 85 hours a week to afford a two-bedroom apartment and have 1.7 full-time jobs or work 67 hours per week to afford a modest one-bedroom apartment.

“In no state, even those where the minimum wage is above $7.25, can a minimum wage renter working a 40-hour week afford a modest two-bedroom rental home,” ac-

cording to “Out of Reach.”

Additionally revealed in the “Out of Reach report is that Vermont is the ninth most expensive state for rural (nonmetro) areas and the 16th most expensive state in the nation for renters.

“The housing wage in the greater metropolitan area of Burlington is $29.69, fully $6.91 an hour higher than the state average,” according to the report. “Someone with a disability living on Supplemental Security Income can only afford $247 a month, leaving them $937 short for a two-bedroom and $698 short for a one-bedroom rental.”

Addison County was the third the most expensive places to live in the state based on the housing wage after Chittenden and Washington counties. ■

LNA course offered at Hannaford Center

SOUTH ROYALTON | According to a June 19 news report published in the American Bar Association’s ABA Journal, “Vermont Law School (based in South Royalton) has been placed on the American Association of University Professors’ (AAUP) sanction list, a year after the private, stand-alone school stripped 14 professors of tenure.”

The story reports that “Vermont Law faculty in 2018 sent a letter to the AAUP, questioning whether the law school followed the organization’s regulations when it removed tenure for... 14 professors. The law school maintains that it needed to quickly decide how to close a $2 million budget deficit, and faculty participation was encouraged.”

According to the AAUP, the law school violated a regulation regarding shared governance: “The report found that while the law school did face many financial hurdles, neither the tenure and retention nor curriculum committees were consulted about faculty restructuring...”

According to the New York Times, Vermont Law School was one of two liberal law schools in the U.S. to refuse cooperation with the Solomon Amendment, a statute passed by Congress requiring colleges and universities to allow military recruitment on campus or risk losing federal funding. ■

Bristol July 4 Parade & Fireworks Wednesday & Thursday, July 3rd & 4th

Every year the Bristol Fourth of July committee organizes a celebration of the birth of our nation. The committee starts meeting in January and is staffed by a dedicated bunch of volunteers who work to ensure that everybody has a good time.

The first the public is aware of the committee and the upcoming celebration is the yearly Chicken BarBQ held in June.

One of the committee members ensures

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

that there is an adequate supply of chicken and all of the trimmings so that if the weather is good there will be a sell out, but there will be many contented local citizens. This is one of the many activities to raise funds for this event.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, is the first day full of activities to really kick off the celebration: In the Bristol Recreation Park, vendors set up to do face painting, sell food and promote a generally festive atmosphere. After dark, typically between 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., there will be a long and loud fireworks display. “The amount of fireworks rivals what Burlington does,” according to a volunteer at the annual event.

JULY 4 starts out with a 5K run. Promptly

at 9 a.m. are the Outhouse Races. Consisting of four heats of four ‘outhouses’; the winner from each heat competes in a final race to be declared the Grand Champions.

The parade starts at 10:30 a.m. and has been known to run 90 minutes and is the oldest continually held parade in all of Vermont.

Starting at noon on the town green are vendors and activities for all ages including music in the gazebo. ■

Successful and failed businessman, absentee father, enthusiastic land speculator. Duplicitous negotiator (with the British). Father of independent Vermont. Randall’s work gives ample coverage to all these features and more.

It portrays Ethan not only as he saw himself heroic but as others saw him, ranging from George Washington to the Albany Junto to his British captors in England.

What, then, can modern Vermonters take away from Ethan Allen’s rambunctious life?

Let’s select three aspects.

First, Ethan’s audacious capture of the British crown’s largest fortress in North America, Ticonderoga, was the first offensive act by the American colonists. Ethan’s startling, bloodless victory over King George’s mighty empire thrilled patriots throughout the 13 colonies.

Second, Ethan proved himself a skillful and duplicitous negotiator with Congress and the British governor in Montreal.

Using the possibility of an independent Vermont rejoining the British Empire, and a threatened expansion of “greater Vermont” into New York and New Hampshire, Ethan kept the British waiting for Vermont’s return to the empire, while at the same time luring Congress into admitting independent Vermont to the American confederation. This was a major diplomatic achievement.

Finally, Ethan understood the crucial importance of property ownership to liberty and self-government. He learned this from visiting the Hudson Valley of New York, where hundreds of thousands of mostly Dutch farmers lived as feudal serfs on the vast manors of the Schuylers, Livingstons, and Van Rensselaers. ■ Note: Writer John McClaughry is the founder of Vermont’s Ethan Allen Institute (ethanallen.org).

A visit to Mount Independence may include reenactments of how Vermonters lived during the time of American Revolution.

Now a National Historic Landmark, Vermont’s Mt. Independence, located in Orwell, is the largest military fortification in the northern U.S. It even eclipsed famous

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Fort Ticonderoga across the narrows from the landmark’s site.

A recent book about the 18th-century military complex, titled “Strong Ground: Mount

Independence and the American Revolution” by Don Wickman, tells the complete story about Vermont’s role in the War for Independence.

The mount’s former Fort Independence, now a heavily forested locale situated to the west of Route 22A along the Lake Champlain cliff s, is Addison County’s most historic colonial-era sites.

“From July 1776 into July 1777, the fate of the newly independent United States of America rested upon a rocky peninsula on the east side of Lake Champlain,” according to author Wickman. “The Americans on the Mount turned back a British invasion in the fall of 1776. Like the men at Valley Forge a year later, they suffered from cold and privation during a winter encampment.”

Fort Independence was massive starshaped fort was built atop the mount along with gun batteries, a soldiers’ hospital, and a dock where lake vessels brought supplies and guns. An amazing f loating bridge, a military engineering feat of its day, also linked the two lakeside forts for a short time.

Mount Independence presented a formidable obstacle to invaders from Canada. If Fort Ticonderoga across the narrows is the “Gibraltar of North America”, then Mt. Independence could be considered the “Maginot Line of the America’s North”.

“At the height of the American fortification of Mount Independence, the site was occupied by three brigades of New England troops or more than 6,000 men, which were reinforced by temporary militia from Massachusetts, New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Grants (the territory that was to become Vermont). Numerous huts and barracks housed these troops,” according to the author. » Mt. Independence Cont. on pg. 15

At Hubbardton, relive the fight for American independence this July 6-7

during this part of the fighting, and the Americans eventually gave way. The British and German troops defeated the American rearguard and forced it off of the field, but the action gave sufficient time to allow St Clair’s rearguard to escape. Unlike earlier battles, the Continental Army troops continued to fight in a disciplined manner despite suffering heavy losses.

Once they had achieved their aim, the Americans executed a dangerous but successful disengagement from the enemy and retreated to join St. Clair. The British losses at Hubbardton were sufficient to end thoughts of further pursuit. The force returned to Fort Ticonderoga and linked up with John Burgoyne’s main army.

You can relive the 1777 battle at the 242nd anniversary of the Battle of Hubbardton Revolutionary War Encampment Weekend July 6-7, 2019, at Hubbardton Battlefield State Historic Site in Hubbardton.

Five hundred encamped reenactors will portray the American and British soldiers who fought here on July 7, 1777 this year.

The July 6-7 event also includes activities for all ages.

Note: Military tactical times are always weather permitting. The event schedule may be subject to change. The museum and museum shop hours are 9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Visitors may also enjoy food stands with lots of shopping at sutler’s row will be open both days. ■

The Battle of Hubbardton in Vermont was an engagement in the Saratoga campaign of the American Revolutionary War. On the morning of July 7, 1777, British forces, under Gen. Simon Fraser, caught up with the American rear guard of the forces withdrawing from Fort Ticonderoga.

It was the only battle of the revolution fought on Vermont soil.

Following the evacuation of Fort Ticonderoga, American forces under Major Gen. Arthur St. Clair sought safety with a hurried retreat to the southeast.

The American general left a rear guard near the town of Hubbardton with Green Mountain Boys led by Colonel Seth Warner, 11th Massachusetts Regiment under Colonel Ebenezer Francis and the Second New Hampshire Regiment under Col. Nathan Hale (along with men from Whitcomb’s Rangers).

The British pursuit was headed by Brigadier Simon Fraser, whose Advance Corps attacked the Americans early on July 7, catching the American forces by surprise.

Falling back to a secure position on Monument Hill, the Americans repulsed several vigorous British assaults. The tide of the battle turned when, after more than an hour of battle, Brunswick Grenadiers under the command of Baron von Riedesel arrived.

These disciplined forces entered the fray singing hymns to the accompaniment of a military band. Francis fell mortally wounded

SALSIBURY | Kyle Flack, 32, of New Haven won last weekend’s Lake Dunmore Olympic Triathlon in 2:30:53 and Middlebury’s Steve Hare, 62, placed fourth overall in 2:35:28.Vergennes’s Cory Coffey claimed third place in the Vermont Sun Sprint Triathlon in 1:07:51 and Salisbury’s Jeff Schuman, 63 was fourth overall in 1:08:53.

The triathlons are staged at Branbury State Park in Salisbury.

The Olympic Triathlon is a 1600 yard swim in Lake Dunmore followed by a 28 mile bike ride around the lakes and finishes with a 6.2 mile run. The Sprint Triathlon is a 600 yard swim, 14 mile bike and 3.1 mile run. This year is the 34th season for the races that started in 1986.

The triathlon started at 8:00 am. Hare finished the swim in third placed but, the veteran triathlete made the transition from swim to bike much faster than the leaders and was in first overall heading out on the bike. Flack came out of the water in 4th, 1:26 behind Hare. Flack passed the first two on the road and caught Hare toward the end of the first loop of the bike course.

The two traded the lead back and forth before Flack opened up a minute gap on the final climb up “Fish Hatchery Hill”.

Flack had the day’s fastest Olympic bike split (1:14:43, Hare’s was second best) and forth best swim. His seventh best run (47:35) allowed Bill Boben of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with the fastest Olympic run (41:42) to close within 45 seconds to take second in 2:31:37.Third place overall (2:33:12) went to Chris Prescott of Thompson, Connecticut, who had the second best run (42:14). Hare settled for third in 2:35:28.

Flack is not your usual triathlete.

He was an all-state football player on the Vermont shrine team, weighing 240 pounds. “I got up to 275 playing college football and I considered running around the field an endurance workout. My swimming and biking keep improving. My body

fat is really low now but, by dropping 10 to 20 pounds of bulk could really help my run times” Flack said following the race.

The 62-year-old race director and founder, Steve Hare commented, “I felt really good in the water and the bike, but, out on the run my body reminded my mind that I’m not 35 anymore. It was a great day for all who raced. Beautiful weather, spectacular setting and great comradery.”

Thirty four-year-old Mariana Wingood of Waterbury used the days fastest women’s bike and run to overcome seventh after the swim to claim the women’s title in 2:38:14.

Montreal’s Sandrine Tirode, 33, finished second in 2:43:58.

Kirston Coe of Addison was fifth overall in 2:52:03.

Debra Huber of Bridport won the women’s 45-49 year old age group (3:36:56). Daniel Huber of Bridport placed 5th in the men’s 45-49 age group in 3:32:16.

The Vermont Sun Sprint Triathlon began at 8:30. Past winner Cory Coffey age 42, had the fastest sprint bike time (35:04) which allowed him to get within 30 seconds of the leader Sean Fleming of Charlotte who was the first sprinter out of the water in 8:39. Flemming had the second fastest bike time (36:04) and third fastest run (18:57) to clinch the win in 1:05:08. Second place went to Zane Fields of Charlotte who had the best sprint run of the day (17:36) and finished in 1:06:24.

Schumann was second after the swim and had the fourth fastest bike ride (36:30). He posted a 22:15 run to hold onto fourth place. A very impressive performance for the 63 year old retired school superintendent.

Kathryn Talano of Middlebury won the women’s 20-24 age group in 1:28:25. Wendy Puls of Bristol won the 65-69 group and was 17th overall.

For complete results, splits and information on upcoming events go to vermontsun.com.

The July 14 Vermont Sun Sprint Triathlon is the next series race and is the 2019 USA Triathlon Vermont State Championship. All ability levels can enter. ■

Pickrell named Academic All-American From Campus News Reports CASTLETON UNI V ERSIT Y

CASTLETON | Castleton University men’s ice hockey and men’s lacrosse player Wyatt Pickrell has been named to the CoSIDA Google Cloud Academic All-America At-Large First Team the organization announced Wednesday afternoon.

Pickrell, a member of the men’s ice hockey and men’s lacrosse programs, becomes the first Castleton student-athlete to earn First Team recognition for the At-Large division, joining Soren Pelz-Walsh (football; 2016) and Courtney Chadburn (women’s soccer; 2011) as the only First Team Academic All-Americans in Castleton history.

Pickrell was one of 14 men across three Academic AllAmerica teams to carry a 4.0 GPA, and was one of just two members of the First Team to do so.

He finished the 2018-19 hockey season with 656 saves, a save percentage of .897 and a 3.66 goals-against average.

He contributed three goals and three assists on the lacrosse field in addition to 21 ground balls and six caused turnovers.

Pickrell’s selection gives Castleton four consecutive years with at least one Academic All-American. It is the second year in a row that a member of the men’s ice hockey team has earned the award, as Trevor Hanna was named to the Academic All-America Third Team At-Large a year ago.

He finished the 2018-19 hockey season with 656 saves, a save percentage of .897 and a 3.66 goals-against average. He contributed three goals and three assists on the lacrosse field in addition to 21 ground balls and six caused turnovers. ■

Middlebury’s Cuba selected First-Team All-American From Campus News Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury College men’s tennis player Lubomir Cuba, from Massapequa Park, New York, has been named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-American At-Large First Team.

Cuba is 15th student-athlete in Middlebury’s history to achieve the accolade, the fourth this year and the 11th since 2014. Cuba led the Panthers to a 19-7 record in 2019, the NESCAC Championship and the program’s 13th NCAA Semifinal appearance in 17 years.

Cuba received his degree in economics from Middlebury with a 3.86 grade point average.

Cuba was the 2017 NCAA Singles and 2017 and 2018 Doubles Champion, as well as the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s (ITA) Northeast Region’s second-ranked individual and ended the year seventh nationally.

Cuba posted a record of 17-7 overall playing against the opponent’s top player in 2018-19. The three-time All-NESCAC First-Team selection and 2017 NESCAC Player of the Year was 69-17 during his three seasons with the Panthers.

The three-time ITA All-American concluded his career on an eight-match winning streak and victorious in 11 of his final 12 contests. ■

OVER THE MOUNTAIN:

SUMMER IN VERMONT: Erin and Jason Mazur of Bristol can’t wait to welcome back their Fresh Air child, 11-yearold Vinci (left), this summer through the Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program.

The Mazurs have been hosting Vinci since 2016. During his summers in Vermont, the young Queens, New York, resident enjoys camping, swimming and catching frogs in the Mazur family’s backyard with young Irie Mazur (right). Host mom Erin describes Vinci as “fun, adventurous and enriching.” She says her son Irie and Vinci act like brothers.
