Taxpayer funds to help Bristol commerce park $500k in federal taxpayer funds awarded By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

BRISTOL | Two economic development projects in Addison and Essex Counties are receiving significant infusions of federal funds, according to U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy’s office. Two awards, $500,000 to the town of Bristol and $390,130 to the Northeast Kingdom Development Corporation, were announced last week. “The award to Bristol will help advance development plans for a commercial park as part of a public-private partnership between the Town and local developers Kevin Harper and David Blittersdorf who are partners in Stoney Hill Properties, LLC,” according to Leahy’s office. “Bristol has a solid track record of incubating successful businesses that ultimately chose to expand in other communities because of a lack of commercial space in town. The federal (taxpayer) funds can support the construction of infrastructure such as a roadway, communication, and storm drainage.” Stoney Hill is a Vermont Domestic Limited-Liability Company

BRIDPORT | Last week Gov. Phil Scott signed a proclamation declaring October to be Independent Country Store Month in Vermont, recognizing how important the state’s country stores are to the cultural, economic and social lives of Vermonters. Scott joined the Vermont Retail and Grocers Association and members of the Vermont Alliance of Independent Country stores to sign the proclamation. Popular country stores such as Pratt’s in Bridport, WAGS in West Addison, and Buxton’s in Orwell, among many others in our area, are hubs for convenience shopping as well as community interaction in rural towns. “My parents met in a country store, so I appreciate the value of

these stores for towns, villages and families around the state,” Gov Scott said. “Independent country stores are important contributors to our economy and culture and serve as community centers where people come together to solve problems and help their neighbors. I’m pleased to help celebrate Independent Country Store month.” The more than 180 Vermont country, general and village stores have a long, storied tradition. Several Vermont stores date back to the 1700s and still serve as needed hubs for rural Vermonters providing goods and services and places for civic gathering over cups of hot coffee and pastry. T he Ver mont A l l ia nce of Independent Country Stores and Cabot Creamery are hosting Vermont Independent Country Store Day on Oct. 26 as a celebration of Vermont’s iconic stores and the hardworking dairy farm families that provide milk to Cabot for its award-winning cheese. You can find a list of participating stores at: cabotcheese.coop/ countrystore. ■

Vermont country stores are the centers of many rural communities. This month, the state is honoring over 180 stores around the area. Pictured: The staff of Pratt’s Store & Deli located Routes 22A and 125 in Bridport.

The Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) has many adult cats available for adoption - at last count there were 25 adult cats who are looking for loving homes. These year-old or older felines are already housetrained and are still quite playful and full of life. They’ll add companionship and love to any household. Please consider adopting an adult cat this Fall - you’ll be happy you did. For more information, please call the shelter at 483-6700 or visit rchsvt.org.

MATRIX | Fifteen-year-old neutered male domestic short hair white.

SAMMY is a seven-year-old guy who is ready to go

home. He is people-oriented, always excited to see you and loves a good cuddle-and-scratch session. Also, Sammy is playful and mellow with the most fabulously crazy hairdo ever. Sammy needs to be an only pet; he’s not great with other dogs and isn’t safe around cats, but that doesn’t make him any less gentle or adoring of his humans. He’s the best and deserves the best: come meet Sammy, If you’re looking for something to do Wednesday afternoon/evening, please join the Homeward Bound staff and volunteers at the Marquis Theater in downtown Middlebury for “The Art of Racing in the Rain” showing at 1:30 p.m., 4 p.m., and 7 p.m. It’s a good film. ■

I bet a stunning gentleman like me has you stopped in your tracks. I arrived at the shelter in September. Although I had a home, I just wasn’t getting along with the other cat very well and one of the family members that moved in was allergic. I am currently in a cat room here and am doing well with the cats, so I could do well with a cat in my new home, but maybe I shouldn’t promise that. Now on to my looks. I know what you are thinking, wow. Look at my gorgeous white coat. I have beautiful fur and it is the color of snow.

HAMMY | Four-year-old neutered male domestic short hair brown tiger.

I arrived at the shelter on September 3rd after someone dropped me off at a barn. I am a kitty that likes to be in your face so to speak. I am very sweet and just a happy guy. I love to play with all sorts of toys. My feet never stop moving which is kind of like my personality. You will notice that I have cataracts on both eyes. I have been on meds however my eyes are likely to be permanently damaged. Don’t worry that doesn’t slow me down. It will mean that my new owner will want to have my new vet look at them. Please stop by for a visit.

RED | Five-year-old neutered male domestic short hair orange tabby.

My name is Red and I think it is quite fitting with my color. I arrived at the shelter on Sept. 4 as a stray. I am so thankful that someone found me and brought me to the shelter. The outside is very scary and with being declawed in the front I have no way to defend myself if someone wanted to start pushing me around. I can be a little shy when I first meet you but once I warm up you will see my true personality. I am a very social and loving guy. I would love to snuggle with you when it is time to watch television.

JEDI | Four-year-old spayed female domestic short hair grey tiger.

Hello there I am Jedi. I arrived at RCHS in September. I was a stray cat from Rutland. Therefore, not much is known about my past however, I am looking forward to my future in my forever home. I can always be found in a comfy spot around the house. However, I would love that to be in your house. I am such a good girl that I can’t imagine I will be spending much time here so I hope you come really soon. Amelia Stamp, Events & Community Outreach Coordinator, Rutland County Humane Society

AKOL AGUEK: A journey to freedom Refugee has amazing story to tell By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

BRISTOL | Since the early 2000s, we have too often heard the discouraging news about America’s broken immigration laws as well as humanitarian issues along the southern border surrounding both economic and political asylum seekers. That’s why, when we hear personal stories like Akol Aguek’s, there’s reason for hope for a brighter future. Aguek, a refugee living in Vermont, has a unique, personal success story to share. According to Alice Leeds of the One World Library Project in Bristol, 40 young Sudanese refugees were welcomed in Vermont in the year 2001. Aguek was one of those youngsters at the time. “They represented a few of the estimated 17,000 ‘Lost Boys of Sudan,’” she said. “Akol was nine years old when he became separated from his family as a result of the Sudanese Civil War, part of an entire generation of displaced boys. Along with thousands of others, he fled across forests, desert and rivers, eventually spending more than a decade in refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya before arriving in Vermont in the summer of 2001. Aguek was one of 3,800 ‘Lost Boys of Sudan’ to receive asylum in the United States.” Leeds noted that Akol’s education was always a top priority for him and he was

encouraged, by his host, to attend the University of Vermont, where he subsequently received undergraduate and graduate degrees, followed by a second master’s degree at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. “Aguek is currently an international student advisor and designated school official at the University of Vermont,” Leeds added. “He recently completed a four-year term as president of the Bor County Development Association, a non-profit working to make positive change in war-torn south Sudan. Aguek is married to Martha Machar, also originally from south Sudan. The couple has three children.” To hear this inspiring, personal story of one man’s incredible journey across thousands of miles, Leeds invited Akol to speak at the Bristol public library on Thursday, Oct. 24, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 pm. He accepted the invitation and will appear thanks to the One World Library Project. The lecture is free to the public with handicapped accessibility. “The program will include a slide show depicting Akol’s story,” Leeds added. “Time will be available for questions and discussion. For more information about this event contact the Bristol Lawrence Memorial Library at 802-453-2366 or go to OneWorldLibraryProject. org or the One project’s Facebook page. ■ Pictured above: Vermont resident Akol Aguek, one of the so-called Lost Boys of Sudan of 2001, will present his life story at Lawrence Memorial Library on Oct. 24, at 7 p.m.

“That’s quite literally a recipe for disaster,” former Lt. Gov. Don Turner, said. Turner is Milton’s town manager and a volunteer firefighter. “As a result of this and other challenges, including funding strains, the toll of the substance abuse epidemic, and credentialing challenges, 10 out of Vermont’s 13 EMS districts saw their response times increase from FY17 to FY18.” The legislative report also confirmed that, “the mental health issues and suicide rates of EMS workers continue to increase at an alarming rate.” “Think about that for a moment: our first responders are so overburdened by the current system that their own mental health has been impacted dramatically,” Turner said. Turner has some good suggestions to help suppress the current volunteer “blaze”: He has proposed local and regional consolidations of fire and other emergency squads. Also, he said departments should start providing recruitment benefits to first responders. One idea, seen in Williamstown, Vermont, is for local communities to open funds to provide property tax deductions for volunteer firefighters. “Until our demographic trends are well on their way to being reversed, we need to make more efficient and effective use of the resources we have today,” Turner said. ■ This is part 2 and the conclusion if the series.

on health insurance or take over the whole health care industry. You rarely if ever hear an intelligent analysis of why health insurance and care cost what they do. A month after the board’s rate increase action chairman Kevin Mullin urged Gov. Phil Scott to increase Medicaid expenditures by $70 million. Medicaid now enrolls 33% of the state’s population and pays far below the actual cost of services rendered by hospitals, clinics and doctors. The Medicaid (and Medicare) underpayments are covered by over payments by the customers of the insurance

actually achieve cost savings! Vermont’s problem is that it has for 30 years expanded Medicaid coverage, seriously and chronically underpaid for Medicaid services, thus shifting much of the costs to private insurance premiums. Then it attempted Shumlin single payer to eliminate those “skyrocketing” premiums, and then replaced the abandoned single payer plan with All Payer to achieve cost savings, which now are said to depend on increasing Medicaid reimbursements. (Gov. Scott rejected Mullin’s request.)... Does it occur to anybody that what passes for “reform” is critically

that which isn’t.” Ouch. It should have become clear that this regulatory, economic and political excuse for “reform” is increasingly costly and unworkable. Vermont is long overdue for a thorough rethinking of how to help Vermonters maintain their wellness and access adequate care. That task is not the same as protecting every interest in the health care universe. ■ — John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute, a free-market think tank based in Montpelier (www.ethanallen.org).

T.P. James, an 1870s-era newspaper editor from Brattleboro, claimed he was the “spirit pen” of English novelist Charles Dickens (pictured). Dickens died of a stroke in 1870 with his novel, “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” left undone. Thus, the recently departed spirit of the great author was channeled through James, or so the co-editor of the Windham County Reformer claimed. A master of 19thcentury fake news, James completed Dickens’ mystery novel saying it was Dickens’ spirit directing him to do so. Really? It sounded like a hoax. “Yes,” says one Vermont researcher. “There is a danger in taking the story of how James came to write the end of ‘...Edwin Drood’ without a large spoonful of salt,” says Rolf Parker-Houghton of this literary fake. As a footnote, while Dickens visited parts of New England in 1842, there’s no firm evidence of him ever stepping foot in Vermont.

Falling tree results in collision

Hineburg man arrested

MONKTON | On Oct. 17, at approximately 6:30 a.m., Vermont State Police were notified of a single vehicle collision into a tree on Monkton Road in the town of Monkton. Police identified the operator as Roger Hamilton, 46, of New Haven. Hamilton said that prior to the collision, he was travelling westbound on Monkton Road at approximately 35 mph when a tree adjacent to the roadway fell down across both lanes of travel. Hamilton advised he was unable to stop and proceeded to collide with the tree. Hamilton’s vehicle was totaled as a result of the collision and Hamilton sustained a minor wrist injury. Neither alcohol or drugs were found to be contributing factors in the collision. The State Police was assisted on scene by the Monkton Fire Department. ■

STARKSBORO | On Oct. 15, troopers from the Vermont State Police New Haven Barracks responded to a suspicious call involving a motor vehicle on Hillside Drive in the town of Starksboro. Investigation revealed that Derek Lefebvre, 48, of Hinesburg, had driven his vehicle to a residence on Hillside Drive. While speaking with Lefebvre, troopers detected signs of impairment. Lefebvre was screened for driving under the influence and subsequently arrested for DUI-drug. Lefebvre was transported to the VSP New Haven Barracks and later released on citation to appear at the Addison County Superior Court on Jan. 13 at 12:30 p.m. to answer to the charge of DUI-drug. Troopers were assisted by the Vergennes Police Department. ■

The property to be developed is a 30 acre parcel bordered by West Street to the north and west, Lover’s Lane to the south and the New Haven River to the east. The other award will provide infrastructure funding to a former paper mill site in Gilman, an unicorporated community in northeastern Vermont. “Some development projects take years to come to fruition,” Leahy said. “...I’m pleased that with these funds Bristol and Gilman will be one step closer to achieving their respective economic visions.” The Stoney Hill property was purchased by the town of Bristol two decades ago with plans for a future business park; now the project can move ahead. “The recent purchase of lands adjacent to that property brought new life to the

original vision by providing viable access to the Stoney Hill site,” Leahy’s office noted. “With the(taxpayer) grant funds, Stoney Hill Properties and the town of Bristol can, at long last, build out the necessary infrastructure and site work so our successful startups can continue to grow in their home town and keep jobs in the very village they live in.” According to Bristol Town Manager Valerie Capels, “this project is a great example of various public and private organizations working together to achieve the shared goal of incubating, growing, and retaining businesses and jobs in Bristol and Addison County. Despite its strong entrepreneurial environment, Bristol has lost such companies as Bee’s Wrap, Vermont Coffee Company, Autumn Harp, and Aqua Vitea over the years due to the lack of adequate manufacturing space and related infrastructure and we are at risk of losing another. The ribbon-cutting for this new facility will be a long-awaited celebration.” ■

Supporting people with cancer Breast Cancer Awareness By Rae Carter GUEST WRITER

A breast cancer diagnosis at age 41 in 2018 tore my life apart and then put it back together again. Cancer presents serious physical, mental, emotional, and financial burdens which are difficult to understand unless you have experienced it personally. Living in rural Vermont with family and friends far away made it even more difficult. Being relatively young, I realized the people I knew and loved, both in Vermont and outside, had no experience supporting someone with cancer, which added an additional layer of isolation. Cancer is frightening and many people are not able to address feelings connected to deep fear and mortality, which often means avoiding the topic - or people with cancer. Wellintentioned words and actions can unfortunately have negative and hurtful impacts, part of why communication is one of the more challenging components of a cancer diagnosis. From my personal experience facing breast cancer, I offer the following suggestions for how to communicate with a friend, neighbor, colleague, or family member with cancer. • Be In Touch for the Long Haul: Texts, messages, emails, voicemails, and cards help us know people are thinking of us. Don’t take it personally if we don’t respond, and don’t give up - we want to hear from you and knowing that you care helps... • Mail a Gift Package: Simple, useful, and soft gifts in the mail can add feelings of love and gratitude to the day... • Send Money or Gift Cards: Cancer is expensive and every bit helps...

• Don’t Wait To Be Asked For Help: Respect how the person with cancer and their caregiver choose to communicate. If there is a meal train, a care calendar, a Go Fund Me, or other form of support set up and shared through social media or community, consider yourself asked... • Ask What Support is Needed: “Let me know if you need anything, I’m here for you” is a challenging statement to hear. As is offering support when you are not informed of what is needed... What to say: • You actually don’t have to say very much at all. Stay in touch beyond the initial diagnosis and first stage of treatment and don’t disappear. Actions speak louder than words, so see above. • Share stories. Tell us about something you really appreciate about us or positive impact we’ve had on your life. Or tell us about something happening in your life - it can be a welcome break to take the focus away from cancer. • Talk to your own friends and family. Your feelings about health, illness, fear, and mortality are important to process with someone you trust, just not the person with cancer. • Reframe questions: - Ask “What are you doing today” or “How are you feeling today?” instead of “How are you?” - Ask “What have you learned recently?” instead of “How have you been?” - Ask “Where are you at in treatment?” instead of “Do you have to have chemo?” or “Are you in remission?” Do not: • Don’t assume. All cancers are different... • Don’t make it about you. Your own fear about mortality, the loved one you lost, the article you read, or your advice or opinions about our treatment plan or decisions are intimate

MAUSD public meeting held in Lincoln School programs, plans, STEM discussed By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

LINCOLN | Residents of Lincoln gathered in Burnham Hall recently for a public discussion hosted by the Mt. Abraham Union School District Engagement Committee. The meeting was designed to discuss current school district operations as well as planned changes. According to Krista Siringo, chair of the committee, Lincoln participants shared stories of the impact of hands-on learning and most attendees speaking agreed that local teachers are a powerful force in a young person’s education experience. “Some people shared stories of the positive impact of caring, compassionate (local) teachers,” Siringo said. “Others shared

experiences of the negative impact of teachers who were rigid in their approach or made negative assumptions about students and their circumstances.” Among several questions presented to residents was “what do our students need to know and be able to do to succeed in our changing world?” “Social skills,” Siringo said, “was also a focus. Students must “be able to socialize, relate well with others, make eye contact, regulate emotions. Self-direction: Be able to advocate for themselves, make decisions about their learning. Cognitive flexibility: Openness to different viewpoints. Know how to have hard conversations. Logical thinkers: Ability to use technology wisely. Remember that it is a tool. Have balance. Understand the pros and cons of technology.“ Attendees,which included parents and other MAUSD stakeholders, also stressed the importance of instilling a passion for learning. There was a desire to “go from the focus on STEM, science, technology, engineering,

MAUSD parents and other stakeholders gathered in Lincoln’s Burnham Hall recently to discuss current school district operations as well as planned changes. Photo provided mathematics, to focus on STEAM, science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics.” Several attendees stressed that math and science must include arts and humanities in the mix. Participants also discussed the impact of online teaching in the district and beyond. A round-robin discussion included a look at MAUSD’s strategic goals. “Participants noticed a few themes immediately following the activity,” Siringo said.

Kamdar, Neal win college tennis title

Lake Monsters receive club award

From Campus News Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebury women’s tennis team continued its fall season by competing at the New England Women’s Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament last week. Four brackets were contested. The format included duos from the respective schools who played two singles and one doubles match against each other, with the winners of the best two-of-three format advancing to the next round. The singles were played with two regular sets and a tiebreaker set in the third if necessary, while doubles was one pro-set. In the ‘C’ bracket, the Middlebury team of Ruhi Kamdar and Caitlin Neal claimed the title. Kamdar and Neal edged Western New England’s Maylene LaPress and Morgan Schrader 2-1, before easing past Kara Stankewitz and Lindsay Kaplan from Nichols, 3-0. During the semifinals, the Panther tandem recorded a 2-1 triumph against Megan Nathanson and Juliana Herrera from Nichols. In the final, Kamdar and Neal completed the undefeated weekend with a 3-0 victory against Trinity’s Morgan Wilkins and Lily Everett to earn the bracket’s championship. During the ‘B’ bracket, the Panther team of Catherine Blazye, Amanda Frank and Brinlea La Barge tallied a pair of victories to advance to the semifinals. Middlebury cruised past Amherst’s Madeline Clinton and Kelsey Chen in the opening round 3-0, before edging Michelle Shub and Kennedy May from Tufts, 2-1. In the semifinals, the Panther pair dropped a 2-1 decision to Wesleyan’s Sasha Gaeth and Caitlin Goldberg.

“Excellence in education doesn’t necessarily mean going to college. Want to give students the same sense of community we have Additional MAUSD conversations will be held on Nov. 5 and Nov. 20 at Holley Hall in Bristol at 6 p.m. with live music and refreshments starting at 5:30 p.m.) Please contact Siringo at krista.siringo@ mausd.org with questions or to RSVP upcoming sessions. ■

BURLINGTON | A Vermont Lake Monsters official announced that the team has won the Vincent McNamara Outstanding Club Award. “Each general manager in the New York-Penn League votes on the award winners, so the Lake Monsters were selected by other GMs in the league,” said Lake Monsters General Manager Joe Doud. “It is a tremendous honor to know that the other teams think so highly of us. This award means a lot to our organization and is a testament to all the hard work everyone puts in throughout the year.” Doud said that this is the first time that the Lake Monsters have won this award. “The team is up for the John H. Johnson President’s Trophy, recognizing the top team in Minor League Baseball,” he said. The winner of the President’s Trophy will be announced next week by Minor League Baseball management. ■

Middlebury’s Caitlin Neal and Ruhi Kamdar won the C bracket title in college tennis.

The Panthers returned to the courts Oct. 18-20 with the annual Middlebury Invitational at the Proctor Tennis Courts. ■
