Dunbar receives athletic honors
Cold, snow: A November to remember By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Keagan Dunbar of Middlebury is getting noticed among New England’s women’s college basketball teams. She earned the Maine Rookie of the Week honor for a second time last week. Keagan Dunbar The 5’4”- 125 pound, Photo provided by Colby College former Middlebury Union High School (MUHS) Tigers girls basketball team captain is a first-year student at Colby College in Maine.

MIDDLEBURY | November 2018 was one for the record books. The month looked less like autumn and more like a February winter. With frigid, single-digits on Thanksgiving, Vermonters also got a sky load of snow and wind last week. Strong winds and heavy wet snow hit Vermont Nov. 26. According to Green Mountain Power (GMP) spokesperson Kristin Kelly, the utility company safely restored power to more than 16,400 customers who were left in the wake of storm damage. “Crews reported treacherous travel and working conditions, slowing their restoration work overnight,” Kelly reported. “In some cases, for safety, crews had to pull out of line work because of trees crashing down around them.” The storm moved north and slowed over Vermont. The result was what Kelly described as a cement-like layer on trees and power lines. “We were prepared to respond and we’ve made significant progress in difficult weather conditions,” said Mary Powell, GMP’s president and CEO. A Vermont-based meteorologist blamed November’s weather on global warming. » Storm damage Cont. on pg. 7

Issues with compliance or confusion?
MIDDLEBURY | A new survey conducted by the personal finance website WalletHub found that Vermont ranks 49th when it comes to best places to live for U.S. veterans. For most veterans, where one chooses to retire may be an important factor in one’s overall quality of life. In particular, geography may determine the effectiveness of medical care.
While Vermont’s overall WalletHub ranking, which is second from last, appears discouraging, there are glimmers of hope for North Country veterans: Vermont’s health care services for veterans was ranked 31 out of 50. Among the deciding “quality of life” factors for all veterans are health care services as provided by the Veterans Administration (VA). Recent data indicates that there are 19.6 million veterans now living in the United States. » Veterans Cont. on pg. 2

» Veterans Cont. from pg. 1 While Vermont’s overall WalletHub ranking, which is second from last, appears discouraging, there are glimmers of hope for North Country veterans: Vermont’s health care services for veterans was ranked 31 out of 50 — just under the midway mark among states. The 74-bed White River Junction VA Medical Center (WRJ), located in White River Junction, Vermont, serves veterans living in both Vermont and New Hampshire. The center is noted by the medical profession for its Nursing Academic Partnership program. According to VA nurse Eileen Murphy, WRJ’s Graduate Education program is a partnership between the University of Vermont College of Nursing and Health Sciences. The primary care nurse practitioner residency is an innovative 12-month program at the VA center in White River Junction. This innovative, collaborative program helps prepare new nurse practitioners as “clinician-leader-improvers,” Murphy

said. Another indicator of how well veterans are served in Vermont, at least when it comes to health care, comes from the annual Strategic Analytics for Improvement and Learning report, or VA SAIL. In a report by True North Reports online, Vietnam War veteran and former Vermonter J. Kirk Edwards spoke about his personal health care as experienced at two different VA centers, separated by nearly 1,000 miles. A former U.S. Army pilot, Edwards recently relocated from Vermont to North Carolina due to cost of living expenses. He remains interested in veterans health care issues in Vermont and has followed various VA ranking studies over the years, including the SAIL report as well as those by data collectors such as WalletHub. Edwards has been hospitalized in both Vermont and North Carolina for treatment related to exposure to the controversial Agent Orange, a jungle-defoliant and herbicide used during the war in the 1960s and ’70s. The chemical has been linked to a variety of serious health complications
among Vietnam-era veterans. “VA medical centers vary in their strengths and weaknesses,” Edwards told TNR. “For example, the Charles V. George VA Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, is rated No. 1 for customer care, medical services and quality of the care while Palo Alto, California, is ranked No. 1 in funding for new treatments. … WRJ was rated No. 1, but now has slipped to No. 4 in customer care.” Edwards nevertheless said his care there during his weeklong stay was excellent, and that his ongoing contact with the hospital between 2003 and 2009 was characterized by dependable scheduling and positive interactions with hospital staff. “During that period the VA was caring, easy to work with. I found all those with whom I had contact wonderful,” he said. Edwards said he now receives care from the Asheville VA hospital which, while ranked No. 1 for patient care and comfort, is comparable to the service from White River Junction. ■

Vermont homelessness on the rise According to a news report last week by Montpelier investigative reporter and columnist Guy Page, of State Headliners appearing occasionally in this newspaper, Vermont’s homeless population is on the rise. The Vermont Coalition to End Homelessness’ “Statewide Point-in-Time Count” reports homelessness in both unsheltered and sheltered. In 2018, so far, there are 1,291 homeless people. In 2017, there were 1,225, and in 2016, 1,102. Page cites three factor in the increase in homelessness here: Expensive housing, overwhelming life circumstances and state government programs which enable homelessness. Page cited the cost of Vermont housing and rental as making the greatest impact on the rise of homeless. “In greater Burlington, the average two-bedroom apartment rents for $1,442 a month, more than the average rent in the high-income states
Guest viewpoint
of Massachusetts ($1,426), New York ($1,340) and California ($1,337). ... Vermont has the 14th highest rent ($1,038) in the country. The cheapest units in greater Burlington average $920, well above the total monthly disability check.” Even by earning $15 an hour, Page noted, renting a $920 a month apartment would consume 43 percent of a worker’s income. “In short, urban Vermonters are becoming like their big-city counterparts: ‘rent serfs’,” he claims. “It’s a troubling irony; while leaders in these big blue states preach economic equality, their cities practice landownership by the few and serf-like living by the many. Huge sums spent on housing subsidies and temporary housing do little to slow the cost of housing.” As far as overwhelming life circumstances, contributing the homelessness, Page believes legislators will be encouraged to spend more taxpayer funds on drug abuse and mental illness. “Without spending a cent, legislators could limit
both by not legalizing ‘tax and regulate’ marijuana,” he wrote. “The commercial pot industry needs highuse addicts to thrive and will advertise to get them...” And when it comes government social services empowering and enabling homelessness, Page admits it’s “admittedly hard to prove, much less make moral judgments about.” However, he noted that while social groups may help with immediate, basic needs for homeless people, they don’t do anything in helping make “lifestyle changes” to get people off the streets. “For example,” Page writes, “in 2018 the Chittenden County Homeless Alliance announced a strategy of ‘bringing together the three things it takes to get, and keep, people housed: (1) the housing itself, (2) the rental subsidy to make that housing affordable to people at the lowest income levels and (3) the services to help people achieve housing stability.’ None of those goals require any lifestyle changes.” — The Eagle ■
Election has consequences for state
Election Day results from Vermont and across the United States may profoundly affect state, naBy Guy Page tional and global • COLUMNIST • energy policy. On the international level: emboldened by gains in the Senate, which must approve both presidential appointees and treaties, U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly defending himself as an anti-globalist nationalist and has nominated a new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief who strongly backs his goal of U.S. energy dominance. President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the United Nations Paris Climate Accords June 1, 2017, calling them “an agreement that disadvantages the United States to the exclusive benefit of other countries ...” Figueres’ vision was on display Oct. 30 when she advised a friendly audience at Oxford University in England “to [the reporter paraphrased] make a change in their personal lives – eat less meat, use public transport
or cycle as much as possible, know where your money and investments are to avoid supporting high-carbon assets, and finally, vote!” On the federal level, it’s unlikely a gridlocked Congress will agree to challenge the president’s affordable clean energy rule which promotes all-fuels energy (wind/solar renewables, and fossil and nuclear) and replaces President Obama’s socalled “Clean Energy Plan” prioritized wind and solar. In fact, the Supreme Court rejected the Obama plan because it was all about picking energy winners and losers, and you can guess who it picked. The proTrump Senate is expected to confirm his nomination of Andrew Wheeler, a big supporter of the affordable clean energy rule to run the EPA. On the state level nationwide, as Ethan Allen Institute founder John McClaughry and I have both pointed out in recent columns, voters of the solidly blue state of Washington resoundingly rejected a carbon-tax referendum on election. Arizona voters said no to renewable
energy standards. Colorado voters said no to limiting natural gas hydrofracking. The left-leaning New Republic magazine headline said accurately, albeit with sour grapes: “America voted. The Climate lost ...” In New England, solar and wind supporters are upset that the heretofore reliably anti-nuclear Union of Concerned Scientists now supports existing nuclear power plants as vital carbonreducer. Here in Vermont, voters gave House Democrats and Progressives a super-majority and reelected Gov. Phil Scott. This coming session will likely answer two questions: Can the supermajority muster enough votes to override an expected carbon tax bill veto by Gov. Phil Scott? Support for the carbon tax is strongest in the Chittenden-County heavy climate caucus. The pro-carbon tax lobby group VPIRG reports that 40 percent of all 2019 House members had, as candidates, signed its “No Fossil Fuels Money” pledge. In a state with a powerful, generous renewable power lobby and virtually no fossil fuel generation or refining industry,
signing the pledge was not a “Profiles in Courage” moment. Whether these same lawmakers will go further out on a limb and vote to tax heating oil and gasoline is anyone’s guess. Will Act 250 be revised to reduce carbon emissions and promote renewable power development? Gov. Scott’s reelection strongly suggests the governor-appointed Vermont Public Utilities Commission will remain skeptical of instate ridgeline wind power generation. It also promises continued state support for Canadian – Southern New England transmission projects running through Vermont, including underneath Lake Champlain. Most Vermonters will be paying less for energy efficiency, thanks to a Public Utility Comission decision to reduce residential rates by three percent and keep business/industry rates flat, Vermont Public Radio reported Nov. 13. ■ - Guy Page publishes the Vermont Daily Chronicle and is an occasional guest on Common Sense Radio on WDEV and Real Vermont News.

RUTLAND | Following trial on Nov. 15, a Rutland jury convicted Edward Pearsall, 52, of driving under the inf luence (DUI) of alcohol. At trial, the state presented evidence that on Dec. 10, 2016, Pearsall operated a motor vehicle on Killington Road in Killington and was stopped by Trooper Jeffrey Stephenson of the Vermont State Police. Trooper Stephenson testified that he observed numerous signs of impairment and that Pearsall had significant difficulty producing proper documentation for his vehicle. Despite exhibiting signs of impairment, Pearsall refused to perform standard field sobriety exercises or provide an evidentiary sample of his breath. Nonetheless, the jury concluded that Pearsall had operated his vehicle while impaired by alcohol to the slightest degree, which is prohibited by 23 V.S.A. §1201 Deputy State’s Attorney Travis Weaver tried the case for the Rutland County State’s Attorney’s Office. Pearsall was represented by Mark Furlan, an Attorney of Rutland City.

MIDDLEBURY | Amey Ryan, of Neighbors Together, and Karen Duguay, of the Better Middlebury Partnership, agreed to end the Midd Money Reward Program and redeem all outstanding cards by Nov. 30. The women reported that the rate of participation in the Midd Money Program, a shopping rewards program created by Neighbors Together last summer (with taxpayer-financed grant funding from VTrans to support Middlebury businesses during the Bridge & Rail Project), had fallen short of expectations. In its place, Neighbors Together has proposed reallocating the remaining funding set aside for the Midd Money Program in the form of a Middlebury MoneyGiveaway promotion during the Dec. 6 and Dec. 13 Midd Night Strolls and local and regional print, digital and radio advertising promoting the Town of Middlebury.

Also, following a trial on Nov. 14, a Rutland jury convicted Andrew Delong, 38, of refusing to submit to an evidentiary breath test after operating a motor vehicle on a public highway where the police had reasonable grounds to believe he was under the influence of alcohol. Delong had previously been convicted of DUI on May 14, 2010 and Jan. 7, 2014. DUI-refusal is prohibited by 23 V.S.A. § 1201, which makes it unlawful for an individual who has previously been convicted of DUI to refuse an officer’s reasonable request to submit to an evidentiary sample of breath where the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the individual has operated a motor vehicle while under the influence alcohol, drugs or both. Sentencing has yet to be set in this case. Delong is currently on probation for driving under the influence, second offense and has pending charges for driving under the influence, third offense along with numerous charges of violating conditions of release. Deputy State’s Attorney Travis Weaver tried the case for the Rutland County State’s Attorney’s Office. Delong was represented by Mary Kay Lanthier of the Rutland County Public Defender’s Office. ■

‘Be like Bobby’: Donor leads GOLM By Steve Costello
CONTRIBUTING W RITER
RUTLAND | “Be like Bobby”: That’s the call from organizers of the 2018 Gift-of-Life Marathon (GOLM) Blood Drive, who are urging local residents to emulate one of the event’s and community’s greatest volunteers, Rutland County resident Bobby Poquette. The drive, which evolved from a simple blood drive into a national-record-setting mega-event, will celebrate its 15th anniversary with four days of drives starting Dec. 11. Drives will be held Dec. 11, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., at Castleton University; Dec. 19, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the CVPS-Leahy Education Center at Rutland Regional Medical Center; and Dec. 20 and 21, from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. ,at the College of St. Joseph. GOLM collected 2,350 pints, smashing the record of 1,968, set by Manchester, New Hampshire. The record still stands. Terry Jaye, program manager at Catamount Radio, which co-sponsors the event with Green Mountain Power (GMP), urged donors from the record-setting year to sign up for this year’s drive. “The record attempt brought out a lot of people, but saving a life is no less important now than it was then,” Jaye said. “Every pint affects a life or several lives, and the vast majority of adults are eligible to donate.” Bobby Poquette, a long-time Red Cross volunteer, started donating blood just six or seven years ago, long after he started volunteering at blood drives. Poquette, who also
volunteers for the Rutland Moose Lodge, Paramount Theatre and other nonprofits, is prominently featured in planned newspaper ads and social media posts about this year’s drive.

The theme of this year’s Gift-of-Life Marathon is “Be like Bobby!” Bobby Poquette, a longtime volunteer at the Gift-of-Life Marathon, pictured with several Red Cross staff, became a regular donor through volunteering with the Red Cross. He volunteers for numerous local nonprofits and urges all his friends to donate blood. Photo provided “I love helping people and helping my community, and by donating blood, I get to do both,” Poquette said. “I hope all my friends will join me in donating at the Gift-of-Life Marathon!” Donors will receive a free T-shirt and gift bag, while supplies last, filled with items from

Heavy, moisturerich snow contributed to down trees and wires causing some power outages in the Lincoln area.
The Mt. Holly area of Rutland County experienced the brunt of last week’s snow storm. Images provided » Storm damage Cont. from pg. 1 “As the climate gets warmer the changes in temperatures aloft and at ground level of a few degrees warmer, contribute to storms more like the one we are currently seeing today,” according to Roger Hill. “They cause infrastructure problems as the snow is heavy and water loaded. This has been modeled to occur more often in our future with a warming climate.” “The damage is widespread, the conditions are still hazardous, we are still getting new outages,” said Powell. “We want our customers to know we are working hard, but given the severe damage over hundreds of miles, getting the job done
could take days...” Powell said the Royalton area of central Vermont was hardest hit. “We’re getting to the largest, quickest outages to repair first,” said Mike Burke, chief of GMP field operations. “We also need to repair those lines fi rst, to be able to repair the ones in more remote locations. Stay away from downed lines and downed trees. Watch out for power and emergency crews.” Customers may report outages by calling 1-888-835-4672 or by visiting GMP’s Outage Center page at greenmountainpower.com. Department of Public Safety’s Mark Bosma told the Eagle that the Starksboro shelter, located at the Robinson Elementary School, will remain open as long as it is needed. ■

Selectboard OKs local grant match From News Reports THE V ERMONT EAGLE
MIDDLEBURY | In response to a recent inquiry from Stephanie Smith of Vermont Emergency Management, the Middlebury Selectboard approved a certification letter committing the town to providing a 25 percent local match for grant funds that may be made available through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The 25 percent match will assist the town in updating
Local Hazard Mitigation Plans (LHMP). Vermont Emergency Management is preparing a statewide taxpayer-funded grant application that, if successful, could provide funding that would allow the town to hire a consultant to update its LHMP which expires in 2021. Having an up-to-date LHMP is one of the requirements that municipalities must meet in order to be eligible to receive federal reimbursement for repairs after major storm events. According the Vermont Emergency Management, Middlebury’s 25 percent match commitment for the LHMP
update funding could range from $1,500 to $3,500 (including eligible in-kind matches), depending on how the work is ultimately contracted. Also, the selectboard authorized Middlebury Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay to sign a subrecipient agreement with the Department of Public Safety to close out a FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) grant that funded repairs to town roads damaged by the July 2017 storms and authorized the town’s 7.5 percent local match commitment of $18,072.50. ■

State headliners
More gun control, $15 minimum wage The leader of the new, veto-proof supermajority Vermont House Democratic caucus predicts the Legislature will seek action on three bills Gov. By Guy Page • CAPITAL COLUMNIST • Phil Scott has opposed: STATE HEADLINERS the $15 minimum wage and paid family leave (vetoed by Scott last year), and retail sales of marijuana (opposed by Scott pending Marijuana Commission report this month), Jack Thurston of New England Cable Network reported last week Thurston reports: “House majority leader Jill Krowinski, a Democrat representing Burlington, said she expects the wage issue to be back on the table next session, along with a bill that would guarantee workers access to paid leave from their jobs after family changes such as a new baby. Also sure to resurface, Krowinski predicted, are proposals to tax and regulate the retail sale of recreational marijuana.” When a House majority leader says an issue is “sure to surface,” it’s not just a passive observation. It’s Krowinski’s job to identify and move through the House the bills she, other majority leaders, and the Democratic caucus wish to become
0
law. Thurston also notes that with last Tuesday’s loss of the veto-sustaining Republican caucus, Scott admits his hand in shaping legislation is weakened: “When you have a supermajority, there are some things that are going to happen that I can’t prevent, so they’ll have to work to make their case,” Scott said of House Democrats in an interview with NECN affiliate NBC 5 News. “I’ll do whatever I can to find areas where we can work together.” Neither Republican governor nor lawmakers will have sufficient power to stop a determined push by the majority. Gun ownership rights may be further limited by the 2019 legislature. Consider this bill introduced by Chair Maxine Grad of the activist House Judiciary Committee during the 2018 special session: H.11, “to prohibit a person subject to a relief from abuse order from possessing a firearm or deadly weapon while the order is in effect.” If successful, H.11 would significantly expand the conditions for separating Vermonters from their lawfully-acquired guns, which began last session when S.221 created a court process by which people deemed an “extreme risk” to themselves or others
could have their guns taken away. Note that in its use of the word “shall,” H.11 seems to forbid any judicial discretion to not require relinquishment: “The court order shall require the defendant to relinquish all firearms and deadly weapons that are in the control, ownership, or possession of the defendant, or in the control, ownership, or possession of any other person on behalf of the defendant, for the duration of the protective order…..A law enforcement agency shall be immune from civil or criminal liability for any damage or deterioration of firearms removed, stored, or transported pursuant to this section.” Also, seizing guns from “any other person on behalf of the defendant” could create a real-world situation of police taking guns from people just because they are relatives and sympathetic friends of the subject of the order. There was no time for H.11 to move through the brief special session. However, its introduction suggests serious intent by Chair Grad to build on gun control gains of 2018. Vermonters opposed to job killing, potselling, and/or gun seizing legislation face
an uphill battle trying to stop or even amend them. Yet citizens are obliged - in fact, privileged – to tell their legislators, friends and local media of their opposition, warn of the real-life consequences of passing bad bills, and offer informed, constructive alternatives. Here are three other possible courses of action: Appeal to Republicans, Independents, and independent-minded members of the majority to consider the needs of Vermont and their districts first and the desires of the House leadership second. Speak in favor of court challenges to Vermonters’ constitutional rights. And, with an eye towards 2020, they can: Organize locally and statewide to elect like-minded legislators. Nineteenth century poet Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote, “poets are the unacknowledged authors of all legislation.” We can’t all be as poetic as Shelley but we can persistently speak and write about how to make life better in our lives, our culture, and our state. ■ - Guy Page publishes the Vermont Daily Chronicle and is an occasional guest on Common Sense Radio on WDEV and Real Vermont News.
‘Newsies’ to make Rutland holiday debut By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
RUTLAND | The award-winning Rutland Youth Theatre will present “Newsies,” the popular Disney Broadway musical, in time to celebrate the holidays. The Rutland Youth Theatre is part of the Rutland Recreation and Parks Department and is an outstanding nonfor-profit organization that brings young people together for creative (and fund-raising) enterprises. The curtain rises on the teen (and younger) stage production on Friday-Saturday, Dec. 14-15 at the historic Paramount Theatre in downtown Rutland. Produced and directed by Saskia Hagen Groom, the musical is also being directed by Saige King, choreographed by Tegan Waite, with stage management by Barb Lassen. “‘Newsies,’ the Broadway musical is based a true historical strike of newspaper boys in 1899,” according to Hagen Groom. “The story is set in then turn-of-the-century New York City and tells the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged ‘newsies’. “When the titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for
what’s right. The story we’re telling is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience in this part of Vermont.” Hagen Groom noted that the famous 1899 newspaper boys’ strike was a youth-led campaign and it forced a change in the way that Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst’s newspapers operated. It brought attention to the exploitation of child labor force of so-called newspaper hawkers. “The strike lasted two weeks, causing Pulitzer’s New York World newspaper to reduce its circulation from 360,000 to 125,000,” Hagen Groom added. “The strikers crossed the Brooklyn Bridge bringing traffic to a standstill.” The 1899 action had far-reaching complications; even newspaper distribution in Vermont was affected. Show times at the Paramount Theatre are Friday, Dec. 14, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Paramount. Tickets are $10 for children and seniors and $12 for adults. For more information, visit us at rutlandrec.com/theatre or call Hagen Groom at 802-558-4177. ■ The Rutland Youth Theatre will present “Newsies,” the Disney Broadway musical.

MIDDLEBURY | The Castleton men’s hockey team hosted a pair of weekend events with the 12th annual Armed Forces Appreciation Night last week followed by the eighth annual Teddy Bear Toss at Spartan Arena. The Spartans hosted Suffolk University in a New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) matchup. All active duty and retired military personnel received complimentary admission. The Castleton University Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) color guard presented the colors in a ceremony prior to the game. All active and retired military personnel
attended the game as the school’s guests. Castleton then completed its six-game homestand in an NEHC contest with Johnson & Wales University. All fans with a stuffed animal were admitted free of charge. The stuffed animals were thrown onto the ice when Castleton scored its first goal. The toys were then collected by the Marine Corps League and distributed to local children through the Toys for Kids campaign. ■ The Castleton men’s hockey team hosted a pair of weekend events with the 12th annual Armed Forces Appreciation Night.

MIDDLEBURY | Led by an experienced group of returning players in addition to a solid incoming class, the Middlebury men’s squash program has high expectations headed into the 2018-19 season. Last winter, the men posted a record of 9-12 against a very difficult schedule and finished the year ranked 19th » Dunbar Cont. from pg. 1 “Dunbar currently leads the New England Small College Athletic Conference in scoring (18.7), ranks first in made 3-point shots per game (3.7), and is 11th in field goal percentage (51.3).” Dunbar is a 2018 graduate of MUHS
nationally and third in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). Guided by two-time NESCAC Coach of the Year Mark Lewis, who earned the honor last winter, he enters his fourth year with a deep and seasoned lineup. The squad will be led by juniors William Cembalest, Jacob Ellen and Jack Kagan in the upper-third of the ladder. Cembalest, a First-Team All-NESCAC selection last winter, tallied a 7-14 record in the top spot of the ladder and competed at the
where she achieved high honors. In addition to being Tigers hoops captain, she also skippered the Tiger girls lacrosse team. According to MUHS, she was first team allstate in basketball and first team all-state on defense in lacrosse. A guard at Colby now, Dunbar earned the Maine Women’s Basketball Coaches
College Squash Association (CSA) Individual Championships. A two-time Second-Team All-NESCAC honoree, Ellen is one of this year’s captains after posting a 10-10 mark in the No. 2 slot a season ago. He started the season with five victories in his first six matches, posting a 5-2 record during the seven NESCAC contests. Kagan concluded his second season with a 14-10 record mainly in the third spot, including a trio of victories during the CSA Team Championships. He also represented Middlebury at the CSA Individual Championships. Kagan will join the team in January after spending the fall semester studying abroad. Sophomore Wiatt Hinton put together an 11-10 record a season ago in the middle of the ladder, winning all three of his matches during the CSA Team Championships. Classmate John Epley was second on the team in wins a season ago, ending his first campaign with a 13-7 mark in the sixth position, claiming victories in the final three contests of 2017-18. Second-year Panther Alex Merrill went 6-9 during his first season at No. 7, going 2-1 during his last three matches. Junior captain Thomas Wolpow played in four different spots at the bottom of the lineup with a 9-12 mark a season ago. Junior captain Nick Bermingham and sophomore Finlay McInerney, along with some first-year players will fight for ladder spots this winter. The Panthers’ slate opened with a home weekend featuring matches against Navy. Middlebury plays a total of 10 matches during the month of January, with five of them at home and five on the road. Another key date on the schedule is the NESCAC Championships, hosted by the Panthers from Friday, Feb. 1 through Sunday, Feb. 3. ■

Try growing herbs indoors By Carol Holmquist GUEST COLUMNIST
Growing herbs indoors during the fall and winter in Vermont can be beneficial both for your cooking and for a mood lift, especially during those cold snowy days. Most herbs need about six hours of direct sunlight either from a south- or west-facing window. Alternatively, you can grow herbs 6 to 12 inches from two 40-watt, cool white fluorescent bulbs for 14-16 hours per day. Keep herbs away from radiators or heat vents which can overheat and dry them out. The room temperature should be between 65-70 degrees daytime and 55-60 degrees nighttime. Grouping plants closely together can increase the humidity, but don’t crowd them so much that there is no air circulating around them. If the indoor air is dry, place the herb pots in a tray of stones. Keep the tray filled with water, but do not allow water to cover the pots’ drainage holes. You can use single pots or containers large enough for multiple herbs, but whichever you choose, make sure that there is adequate drainage at the bottom of the container. If your plants outgrow the container, you may need to re-pot before winter is over. Water regularly and thorough-
ly with room-temperature water. Bay, marjoram, oregano, sage and thyme need to dry out between watering. However, never allow rosemary to dry out completely. Herbs need a well-drained soil that is not too rich. The soil should have a pH of 6-7 and contain a moderate amount of organic matter. If you are using potting soil, check the label to make sure it complies with these properties. Most herbs will benefit from occasional feeding every few weeks with a liquid fertilizer, such as fish emulsion, seaweed or a general-purpose, water-soluble fertilizer. Don’t over fertilize or the plants will produce more foliage but with lower essential oils and therefore, a bland taste. Harvest your herbs before they flower. In fact, you should remove any flower heads, and don’t allow the plant to go to seed. For mint-family herbs, make the cut a few inches down the stem and just above a set of leaves. New growth will arise from buds at this point, and a bushier plant will result. For carrot-family herbs, cut each leaf stalk at the base of the plant rather than just trimming off the tender leaf blades of parsley or cilantro or the ferny growth of dill. Like other herbs, flowering signals the end of the plant’s life, and the flavor may not be as pleasant once the plant flowers. There are two schools of thought on adding herbs to your cooking. Some people think they should be added at the
Indoor herbs need a well-drained soil that is not too rich. Pictured: Micro Grow Light Garden for herbs available at Gardener’s Supply in Williston.

When using fresh herbs in a recipe that calls for dried herbs, triple the amount of fresh herbs. Follow these tips and you can enjoy an indoor garden and fresh herbs all winter long. ■ - Carol Holmquist is a University of Vermont Extension master gardener

~ Vermont Gas Natural Gas Safety: Detecting, Reporting & Preventing Leaks Detecting a gas leak: Smell Natural gas is normally odorless. A distinctive, pungent odor, similar to
rotten eggs, is added so that you will recognize it quickly. Sight You may see a white cloud, mist. fog, bubbles in standing water or blowing dust. You may also see vegetation that appears to be dead or dying for no apparent reason. Sound You may hear an unusual noise like a roaring, hissing, or whistling.
If you suspect a leak: Move immediately
to a safe location.
at 1-800-639-8081
immediately,
Call Vermont Gas
with the exact location.
Do not smoke or operate electrical switches or
appliances. These items may produce a spark that might ignite the gas or cause an explosion. Do not assume someone else will report the condition.
Preventing leaks: Use care when working near natural gas facilities. Digging into a pipeline is the largest single cause of pipeline failures. Protect yourself and underground
facilities,
