Locals honored for heroic efforts

By COLIN FLANDERS A group of Milton and Essex residents were honored at Founders Memorial School earlier this week after they saved a young boy from drowning.

Students Julian Ercole, Liam Kang and Abigail and Zachary Jackman were joined by parents on stage during a packed assembly last Friday to receive lifesaving awards from Essex emergency departments, recognizing their heroic efforts on January 27 in Hartford, Conn.

There for a gymnastics meet, the four kids were swimming in the hotel pool when other children from a birthday party joined them.

At one point, some of the Vermont parents started to notice one boy bobbing in the water and asked the supervising adult if he was OK. They assured the boy was fine, but a few minutes later, he was completely submerged.

The Vermont group sprung into action. Essex resident Heath Jackman instructed his son Julian to swim to the bottom of the pool and grab the young boy.

Julian said his “stomach was in knots” during the in-

cident, but he wasn’t thinking when he dove down into the pool.

“I just knew it had to be done,” said Julian, a fourthgrader at Founders Memorial. “So I did it.”

“I just knew it had to be done. So I did it.”

Heath Jackman then jumped in, took the boy from Julian’s arms and moved him over to the deck.

He instructed his wife, Amy, to call 911, while former EMT Tabatha Kittson, a Milton resident, performed two

The emerald ash borer is here. Luckily, Chittenden County has time to prepare for the inevitable.

The emerald ash borer, an invasive pest from Asia, was found in central Vermont in February. Experts say it's only a matter of time before it migrates to Chittenden County, but there's also time to prepare for its arrival.

cross the street from Ethan Tapper’s Essex Jct. office is a picturesque neighborhood, a cluster of colonials with paved driveways, basketball hoops and two-car garages.

Both Hayden Street and Wilkinson Drive are lined with ash trees, some nearly 30 years old, on both sides of the road, adding a coziness to the development that’s situated just beyond the busy Route 15.

Within 20 years, all those trees could all be gone if the emerald ash borer, an invasive pest found in central Vermont this February, makes it way north as expected.

Tapper, the Chittenden County forester, says that’s almost certain to happen.

“We can’t contain it,” he said. “It’s going to kill 99 percent of all the ash trees we have.”

Black, white and green ash trees make up 5 percent of Vermont’s trees, and due to their hardiness, are commonly seen in urban areas and lining residential streets such as the ones in the village.

There, 21 percent of public trees are ash, accord-

ing to a 2014 tree inventory. Neighboring Colchester has 19 percent ash trees, Essex Town has 16 percent and Milton 11, as reported in those towns’ tree inventories.

Add in the ash in town forests, large parks and on private property – plus the thousands of dollars in economic benefit trees provide – and the insect’s potential for collateral damage becomes glaringly apparent.

Infected trees die within three to five years, posing danger to homes, powerlines and the traveling public.

Cutting down just one of them can costs hundreds, plus a few hundred more to replace it. Not to mention the visual impact that hundreds of dead or missing trees has on a community’s landscape.

But experts say there’s no cause for panic, arguing there’s time to plan for the borer’s inevitable arrival to Vermont’s northwestern corner.

The emerald ash borer was found in the U.S. in Michigan in 2002, likely by hitchhiking on shipping material from its native Asia. Since then, it’s killed millions of trees across the country.

The borer makes its home underneath an ash’s bark, tunneling through the outer wood, disrupting the tree’s flow of nutrients and killing it from the top down. A telltale sign of infestation is the D-shaped exit wound it leaves in the bark.

ADL project brings family to the forefront

By COLIN FLANDERS A hundred portraits hung in the hallways of Albert D. Lawton last week showing snapshots of a life beyond the school walls.

Some sat perfectly postured in formal attire, while others showed off their goofier side.

And while none looked the same, all had one thing in common: family.

The photos, taken by students from the Center for Technology, Essex, were part of a project that asked students to write essays about their families and what makes them unique. The essays were then hung throughout the school, each with an accompanied hand-written note that highlighted a certain part of the essay, like one that read: “My sis-

ter saved my life.”

ADL vice principal Amie Conger and literary specialist Rachel Kahn, who co-led the project, said it offered kids a chance to celebrate themselves and their families.

“This is putting it out there that we all look different; it's not one thing defining us,” Conger said.

That’s an important message for students of any age, but especially those in middle school, where “a lot of us are trying not to feel different,” Kahn said.

“At the same time,” she said, “we can sometimes cover up those things that make us really unique and really special.”

Both educators said the project allowed faculty to get to know their students better; one long-term substitute teach-

er told Kahn the project was so “compelling” because she learned about students’ lives in a way she’s never able to do in school.

“By seeing this side of us, who our families are, what our families experience, it goes such great lengths to connect us as a school community,” Kahn said.

Students, meanwhile, said the project allowed them to reflect on their own families like never before, like seventh-grader Lexi Lyman, who got to know her family a little better. She even recognized some changes in her own life, too.

“I just started playing with my siblings a little more, and I’m enjoying my life a lot more because I’m not cooped up in my room as much,” Lexi said.

Communities like Williston and Stowe have 42 and 50 percent ash street trees, respectively, Fitzko said. The former has already begun replanting, aiming for biodiversity, a goal she recommended Milton undertake when it begins its upcoming streetscape project.

A portion of voterapproved tax increment financing funds will purchase trees to plant along Route 7 from the Milton Diner to the Clark Falls Dam. Needless to say, ash won’t be added to the mix, Sinadinoski said.

The town has separately pondered banning vegetation that’s prone to invasive species but ultimately decided the prefer-

ence doesn’t need to be enforced in zoning, he said.

Still, Sinadinoski said now that the borer is here, the town needs to take it seriously. He plans to send staff to the Vermont Arbor Day conference, which will feature a panel on the invasive pest.

“Once it strikes, it strikes really hard,” he said. “It’s on people’s minds now, so that’s what will eventually trigger some action, at least preventative action.”

Colchester also hasn’t formed a prevention plan, though its 2014 tree inventory recommended this step, especially since almost half the new trees planted there are ash and maple – both susceptible to invasives.

“While we are very

fortunate to have this plan completed, like many worthwhile endeavors, we fall short on implementation resources,” Colchester public works director Bryan Osborne said in an email.

The report estimated it cost could $31,000 to replace the 124 public ash trees.

Conservation commission chairwoman Theresa Carroll doesn’t think the borer will be too destructive in Colchester and said her biggest worry is campers bringing in contaminated firewood, the borer’s primary route of travel. She said the commission may post bulletins on Front Porch Forum or reach out to local firewood sellers.

Overall, Carroll suggested residents follow the

standard law enforcement motto: “If you see something, say something.”

Fitzko, with the urban forestry program, said homeowners can consult with arborists, organize informational meetings or become pest detectors through her organization.

Tapper, the county forester, said municipalities can start underplanting ash trees with new varieties so the streets won’t look so stark when the ash are eventually gone.

On Monday, Essex Jct. tree warden Spinner stood in the ash-lined neighborhood near Tapper’s office, imagining how it would look without any trees.

Taking hold of a branch, he saw seeds sprouting, signs of regeneration and hope that once the borer passes through, the ash might return someday.

“We’re in the infancy of this whole thing,” he said. “Let’s see how it develops.”

HERE

for the last seven years.

Neither Milton nor Colchester are among them.

In Milton, planning director Victor Sinadinoski said news of the borer’s arrival has spurred casual conversations, but department heads have yet to form an official beetle policy.

Although Milton’s Conservation Commission will likely add a discussion to an upcoming agenda, the town has no immediate plans to inoculate or cut down trees, he said.

“There’s no high level of concern right now. Not because we’re not concerned the ash borer might come here,” Sinadinoski said. “We don’t have any signs yet that it’s infested here. I don’t think there’s been as much urgency as

ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS

Experts aren’t sure whether the borer will eat its way through Vermont and die out or if it will stick around. In the meantime, they have some suggestions for municipalities and homeowners alike. The first: Don’t cut all your trees down right away.

The die-off actually has some benefits, Tapper says. “[Ash trees will] rot; they’ll become really important wildlife habitat.

They’ll fall on the ground, and they’ll become soil, which is all good,” he said.

“Cutting all your ash trees is not going to, in any way, slow the spread of the borer.”

Eventually, though, that might become an unfortunate reality. As such, Warren Spinner, Essex Jct.’s tree warden and Burlington’s former arborist for 38 years, said municipalities should begin considering how to manage the infestation.

The Essex Jct. Tree Advisory Committee has just started that process. Last week, Spinner and fellow committee member Nick Meyer told village trustees the committee will soon prepare a report on village ash locations and size and a plan to replace them.

“It’s a matter of economics now,” Spinner said.

“What’s it going to cost?”

Essex Town planner Darren Schibler has begun to address that question.

His department, along with the Essex Conservation and Trails Committee, just finalized a draft street tree management plan, which estimates it could cost nearly $47,350 to proactively remove 212 trees.

Infected trees could cost 2.5 times that amount to remediate, the chart shows.

However, the plan suggests only removing a portion of these trees, enough to maintain the recommended 10 percent of any one species. This amounts to removing six trees a year for nine years.

“The plan that we have is one that would gradually move the needle toward more diversity [in species] and less risk of one pest having that impact,” Schibler said. “With the arrival of the emerald ash borer, we have to reevaluate the timeline.”

He hopes to present the plan – two years in the making – to the selectboard later this month.

According to Danielle Fitzko, program manager for the Vermont Urban & Community Forestry Program, Essex is one of only 30 communities that have pest preparedness plans, an effort her group has pushed

Kittson started in on compressions and traditional CPR for the next couple minutes, tears beginning to stream down her face because nothing seemed to be working.

“I just did whatever I could to make him breathe,” she said.

At one point, she flipped the boy over and performed the Heimlich, then returned to CPR, and moments later heard a gurgle so faint she thought she might be hearing things.

She turned his head and shook it gently to try and get the water out. Finally, he started breathing, but the loss of oxygen to his brain

caused him to have a seizure in Jackman’s arms.

Emergency personnel arrived soon after, filing into the pool house through the locked doors propped open by Abigail and Zachary, FMS third-graders.

Essex Cpl. Kurt Miglinas, who presented the awards, said he checked in with Connecticut officials who said the boy has recovered.

Heath Jackman said he was proud of the children’s poise during the harrowing event and deflected any praise for his role. “Anyone in this situation would have done something similar,” he said.

He believes the children learned how serious drowning is, and that they should keep an eye out anytime they’re in the water.

For Kittson, her and son Liam’s awards are just the latest for the courageous

family: The ceremony came nearly a year after Kittson’s other son, Quinnlan, was honored by Milton police for saving his friend’s life after she fell into a home septic tank.

Julian, meanwhile, clung to his new award, smiling big. He was happy and proud to know he helped saved a life, and said he would take home a lesson, too.

“I learned that anybody can be a hero if they put their mind to it and look out for anything that is bad that is happening,” he said.

“Stand up to it. Stand up to the challenge.”

Village, town awarded grants for stormwater permitting The Essex and Essex Jct. Joint Stormwater Coordinating Committee announces Tuesday the village and town have recently been awarded several grants amounting to $575,304 in funding in the last three months: -$283,000 for the replacement of a vacuum truck.

This truck has a larger capacity than the current vehicle and will be used for stormwater and sewer maintenance needs in both the Village and Town.

-$271,138 for cul-de-sac retrofits on Acorn Circle, Oak-

wood Lane, and Sage Circle.

This includes work to be done to direct stormwater runoff into an infiltration system.

-$11,566 for outfall repair and ditching work on Juniper Ridge Road. This will help to reduce erosion in this area.

-$9,600 to develop a Road Management Plan for the Town’s gravel roads.

The committee says these grant funds will help the municipalities complete necessary permit compliance work without increasing the local tax burden.

FAMILY from page 1 “What family means to me is being able to have people to have fun with, being there when you're in need and always loving them unconditionally.”

Seventh-grader Anneka Shepard said she said she enjoyed hearing all the stories of her family, some she didn’t even know. “I didn’t realize how many memories we had,” she said.

Noah Jeter, a sixthgrader, said his family is special because he lives very close to his grandparents and a close relative that has a disability, which has taught him empathy toward others who must overcome obstacles.

The students also found the projects helped connect them with their classmates.

All four students would recommend the project to other students. And Anneka, echoing statements from the adults, said middleschoolers could especially use the exercise.

Conger appreciated that. “My job is done!” she exclaimed.

REP. BETSY DUNN The 12th week of the legislature was, in a word, momentous. We passed both the budget, appropriating funds for the state, and the capital bill, which strategically funds, through bonding, state projects and infrastructure that support the implementation of best practices throughout the state.

First, the budget. Notably, we did not raise taxes or fees.

Using monies from the tobacco settlement we provided $10 million for the teachers retirement fund, an extra $1.5 million for the state colleges and UVM, $500,000 for buildings and general services and $14 million for substance abuse disorders. We fully restored the Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living budget, and contributed to free clinics for the uninsured. If you are interested in other programs funded, let me know.

Second, the capital bill. The legislature allocated $24 million for clean water initiatives and $4 million for mental health. The latter includes increasing the number of beds for Woodside Juvenile Rehabilitation Center, funding the design and construction of the Middlesex Therapeutic Residential Facility, increasing the beds to 25, adding three beds to the Chittenden Correctional facility and 10 beds for the Southern State Correctional facility for therapeutic treatment of inmates.

Education was allocated $4 million with Homeland Security matching $1 million for school safety grants. Schools can receive a $25,000 grant that must be matched at the local level to study and determine how to ensure the safety of the students.

This week, the House passed three important bills dedicated to the safety of our citizens. Their aim is to keep firearms out of the hands of those who should not have them.

After 16 hours of debate and multiple amendments, we passed S. 55, which increases the minimum age to buy a gun to 21 years, bans bump stocks, limits the size of a magazine to 10 and requires universal background checks. We also unanimously passed the extreme risk protection bill, allowing law enforcement to confiscate weapons from people deemed to pose an extreme risk to themselves or others. Finally, we passed the domestic violence bill, allowing police to remove a weapon that is in plain sight when an arrest is made involving domestic violence.

The Health Care Committee has been working on pharmaceuticals. We are investigating whether we can import bulk drugs from Canada to decrease the costs Vermonters pay for medications. It would designate a state agency to become licensed as a drug wholesaler. It also removes the gag order that prevents a pharmacist from disclosing the cash price of a medication or from selling a lower-priced medication if one is available.

Let me know your perspectives.

REP. LORI HOUGHTON Over the last few weeks the focus has been on gun violence prevention legislation. However, in conversations many ask, “What else are we doing about school safety and about mental health?”

School Safety - The House unanimously approved H.923.

This annual bill appropriates funds to infrastructure improvement projects across the state. This year the bill provides $4 million for school safety and security grants with an additional $1 million in federal funds. Schools may apply for grants to implement safety measures such as intercom systems, window coverings, door looks, etc. The governor convened a group to perform security assessments of all schools. Once that report is delivered and the capital budget is signed into law, schools will be able to apply for a grant.

Mental Health - The general fund budget passed by the House allocated funds to provide community outreach counselors to assist people seeking emergency services in communities (including Essex); provide additional funds to make the Pathways peer warm line available 24/7; and provide funding for additional housing and associated supported services in the Rutland County area. All programs have shown a significant ability to divert people from emergency services to provide the right care within the community. The capital budget invests in additional beds for those needing a therapeutic setting but don’t require a hospital level of care. These actions will have the combined effects of keeping individuals out of the ERs and improve the flow of patients between different types of facilities due to more available beds. These investments continue our commitment to increase resources to provide the right care at the right time for all those suffering a mental health illness.

I want to be clear though. I firmly believe gun violence and mental health are two distinct issues. Less than 4 percent of gun violence is connected to a mental health illness.

There is a difference between someone suffering an illness such as bipolar, schizophrenia or severe and persistent depression and someone who is socially isolated, angry or resentful and chooses to act out with violence. As a society, we need to appropriately discuss, provide resources and craft effective policy for each population – as the needs and resources for one are most likely not the same in the other.

Recently Reps. Giambatista, Dunn and I held a discussion on early childhood trauma and the long lasting effects toxic stress (i.e. poverty, abuse or neglect, exposure to violence, parental substance abuse) can have on an individual.

EWSD held a school safety community conversation. I hope these types of conversations continue. We need to continue learning together.

Selective cuts

By ETHAN TAPPER I don’t know who started it, but at some point a lot of people started talking about timber harvesting in two categories “clearcutting” and “selective cutting.” When I describe my job to laypeople, they often ask if I do “selective cutting,” perhaps trying to ensure that I’m not one of those “bad guys” associated with “clearcutting.”

This is a tough question to answer; these two terms are complicated and convoluted and impose a binary distinction that misrepresents the nuances of modern forestry.

Early European settlers were amazed by the abundance of the timber in North America, particularly the massive white pine. Coming from a continent which had been intensively managed by (European) humans for thousands of years, this resource seemed to be endless. Settlers and loggers used clearcutting as a means to clear pastureland, to harvest lumber to use around their homesteads, and as and to liquidate this valuable resource. Because the supply of timber seemed so infinite, there was little thought given to the future of the forest, though some believed that by the time loggers had reached the westward extent of this New World that eastern areas would be ready to harvest again.

Today, clearcutting persists in the U.S. as a standard method of harvesting timber in intensively-managed tree plantations, most notably in the southeast, northwest, and portions of Maine, where trees are planted and grown like corn. Clearcutting has become less common in the Northeast as its long-term effects of have become

more apparent, and people have become more sensitive to its visual impacts. We are also blessed in Vermont with forests that readily regenerate new trees following disturbance, and valuable timber species that grow in partial or complete shade.

While clearcutting had become unpopular in the Northeast by the mid to late 1900’s, extractive logging had not. Loggers and landowners took to “high-grading,” a practice where only the most valuable trees are cut, or “diameter-limit” cutting, where all trees above a certain size are cut.

While these harvests were still driven entirely by economics and not by a concern for the long-term health or productivity of the forest, they were not clearcuts, and so the term “selective cuts” was used. As far as I can tell, a “selective cut” is any harvest where some trees are retained; which, while it avoids the term “clearcut,” says nothing about the effect of the harvest on the forest’s health.

This terminology was further muddied by the development of the “selection” system, a silvicultural technique where single trees or small groups of trees of all sizes are harvested to encourage the growth of trees of many species and ages. In contrast to “selective cutting,” the selection system is a science-based way of improving wildlife habitat, and a forest’s health and resilience, based on the natural disturbance regimes of a forest.

In addition to the selection system, there are dozens of different forest management strategies (“silvicultural treatments”), each intended to address conditions in the forest and achieve a specific result, and each

informed by research on the way trees and forests grow and develop. While most of these management strategies involve harvesting timber, which is used for building materials, firewood, paper, and electricity, none of them are designed solely to capture the timber value in a forest.

The understanding of clearcutting in the forest management community has also changed. Silvicultural clearcuts are sometimes used by foresters as a way of regenerating a uniformly unhealthy stand of trees.

Most clearcuts that I see in Vermont are in areas that have been highly degraded by humans, forests which have been extensively high-graded or where unhealthy stands have resulted from agricultural field abandonment.

Forests like this will often be healthier in the long-term if the unhealthy trees are removed, and the area is completely regenerated to new trees.

These harvests can create “early successional” forests, a somewhat rare habitat condition valued by an array of native wildlife, and provide diversity in our forests by encouraging early-successional tree species such as white birch, pin cherry, and aspen.

One of the hardest parts of being a forest manager is defusing the misconceptions about forest management, and repairing the damage and misconceptions created by logging practices of the past. One of the first steps in this is getting people to think a little harder about how we talk about forestry.

Investing in our future

Education of our young people is one of the most important obligations of our democracy. And a funding system that enables school district voters throughout the state to make thoughtful budget decisions is key to fulfilling that obligation in Vermont.

After the Vermont Supreme Court’s Brigham decision in 1997, the Legislature made a structural school funding change. The result was the current system, which is not a "formula" that attempts to equalize a flawed and inherently unfair local school property tax as the various efforts in the seventies and eighties were.

Instead, it is a fundamentally fair, sustainable, and workable statewide system that supports local school districts to equitably invest in the education of our children. Vermont’s school funding system is widely viewed as the most equitable in the nation.

But it’s not without its problems. The biggest complaints about the current system are that it relies too much on property taxes and that it’s too complex for voters to understand. These are fair criticisms, and it’s worth the Legislature making an effort to correct them.

While the House’s recently passed “reform” bill (H.911) makes some progress on lowering property taxes, it unfortunately also takes a step backward by making the system more complex for school districts. We rely on school boards and school district voters to make spending decisions every year, so we should be making the system easier—not harder—for them to understand the tax consequences of their decisions.

The House bill lowers property taxes by establishing a progressive state income-tax surcharge that raises about $60 million dedicated to the Education Fund. With this influx of funding, the state can lower school property taxes across the state.

Gov. Scott wants to lower education property taxes, too, but not by offsetting them with income taxes. He wants to push communities to cut school spending.

But this year Vermont communities have already done everything we could want them to do to control costs. They passed budgets with a lower overall growth rate than the “target rate” set by the governor. Yet he’s putting even more pressure on school districts to push their spending down.

With a nod to the governor’s idea that Vermont schools should spend less on our children’s education, the House bill would make property taxes even more painful for districts that want to increase their spending per pupil. H.911 seems to be based on the assumption that the funding system doesn’t have cost controls already in place.

The fact is that the existing system requires that residents in school districts with higher spending per pupil pay higher homestead tax rates. Currently, if a town spends more per pupil, its homestead tax rate increases proportionally. If a town increases its per-pupil spending 10 percent, residents of that town will pay 10 percent higher homestead taxes. Nevertheless, the House bill pushes up property taxes even more for districts that decide to spend more per pupil and removes the proportional relationship between spending and taxes. H.911 creates a big change in the wrong direction.

We should keep moving forward instead of stepping back. The Vermont Senate, where the bill is now, can correct the problems with H.911 and solve some real problems with the funding system at the same time. We need to ensure that the school funding system is stable, fair, equitable, understandable, and supportive of local funding decisions so that a high quality education really can be made available to all young people.

I recall from my time in the legislature in the 1980s that when inequity increases, it undermines trust, educational quality, and basic fairness. We could make Vermont’s school funding system simpler and even more equitable by phasing out the homestead property tax and moving to an income-based school tax for all Vermont residents while maintaining the current cost control by having increased per-pupil spending in a town result in higher income-based tax rates in that town.

Vermonters want to invest in our children’s future and an equitable funding system is key to ensuring that investment benefits all of the state’s children.

Pets of the Week BABY GIRL

4 years old Spayed female Arrival Date: 11/6/2017 Breed: Domestic short hair - torbie Special Considerations: I may need the option of going outside if I want to in my new home.

Reason here: Not a good fit for previous home HSCC fans, we need your help to find Baby Girl, aka BeeGee, a very special home where she can be her true self! BeeGee is a unique lady: she’s fun, she’s sassy, she’s quite hilarious, and she’s super playful! She’s also social and affectionate which sometimes collides with her cattitude. But, hey, sometimes our feelings get the best of us. We feel you, BeeGee! When she’s had enough of your attention (even though she appears to be asking for it), she may give you a quick swat or a nip. Talk about sending mixed messages! This princess demands love, food and respect! After 6 months in the shelter, what we’ve come to understand about BeeGee is that she may be successful in an indoor/outdoor home or other alternative housing – one where she has the freedom to do as she pleases while offering her a stimulating environment to keep her content.

Potential adopters should appreciate an independent but also affectionate and social kitty who might prefer that you don’t pet her too much. Who ever said cats are easy?!

Children: I would do best in a home without children.

Dogs: Baby Girl has not lived with dogs. A family dog visited a few times a year and she would keep her distance.

Cats: Baby Girl has not lived with cats. She would need a proper and slow introduction.

SPORT SHORTS championship game. Wow! A couple of MLB notes: New York Yankee Giancarlo Stanton is the second Yankee since 1908 to collect at least three base hits and four RBIs on Opening Day. Roger Maris (3XBH, 4RBI) did it versus the Red Sox on April 19, 1960 and the first MLB hitter Blue Jay J.P. Arencibia on April 1, 2011.

Here’s a list of NYYs with multi-home run games on Opening Day since 1950: Giancarlo Stanton (2018), Joe Pepitone (1963), Roger Maris (1960), and Mickey Mantle (1956). The Red Sox left the weekend in first place in the AL East.

Have you noticed the Bruins meteoric rise in points and standings? Not sure who can beat them in the playoffs.

Our sojourn in Florida ended last week. It’s nice to be back, but I sure do miss golf and the warm weather. Covering spring training and Grapefruit league games was a tough job. Sunscreen, travel, traffic, a nice baseball hat and the heat were all worthwhile. I will have to look into it again next winter and have to get to the links soon. Also, to give credit where credit is due, for the second year in a row Essex High School won the Vermont NEA Scholars' Bowl by defeating Hanover 415-355.

Happy Birthday Erin Diminick McGaughnea, Brent Ames, Marissa Wells, Ann Zeno Pratt, Kelsey Abair, Mia Vero, Danielle Hardy, Linda Rhodes, Andrew Lucia, Windy Kelly and Chelsea Crucitti!

Remembering our mom as she passed away and entered heaven last year on April 3 - I miss her.

By JOE GONILLO Easter was last Sunday, and I hope you enjoyed your day. MLB kicked off its season last week - in a big way.

Our spring sports season is in about ready to begin.

The snow is melting, the weather up and down, fields still a bit wet so you better check in with EHS athletic department game day just to be sure. Some end-of-season accolades below.

Girls lax new coach Grace O’Neil and assistant Linnae O’Neil host Burr & Burton on Friday to kick off the spring season. Boys and girls tennis host and visit CVU Friday as well.

Here’s a list of the girls’ basketball Metro All-Stars: second team Olivia Duncan and Emmalee Smith; third team Kylie Acker.

Division I boys’ hockey Player of the Year is Ryan Young; first team Maverick King; third team Sam Couture and Nate Theriault.

Division I girls’ hockey: first team Olivia Miller-Johnson; second team Maddy Young.

Academic All-Stars Hannah Barrett, Kaitlyn Butkus and Hannah Palmer.

Congratulations to all!

Villanova versus Michigan played in the men’s NCAA basketball finals and Mississippi St versus Notre Dame played for the women’s title.

Villanova shot the lights out from three point line in their semifinal crush of Kansas. ND upset undefeated UCONN in OT of the women’s semi. A trey with one second sunk my favorite basketball team’s hopes in the semis for the second straight year, and as I write this the Irish just hit another three to win the NCAA

School board candidate Q&A Each year, The Essex Reporter poses questions to candidates seeking elected office to better inform voters. And while this year's EWSD board elections are all unopposed, we reached out to the incumbents to hear about their priorities for the coming year.

They were each asked to provide brief biographical information and were given 450 words to split between three questions: 1. What have been some of the school board’s biggest accomplishments thus far?

2. What should be the board’s priority in the coming year and why?

3. As recent student-led initiatives made their way to the school board, some parents voiced concerns over the seemingly political nature of some of these movements.

What role should the board play when weighing students’ freedom of expression against the desire of some to keep politics out of schools?

House • Serve on the boards of the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation and Camp Thorpe • Love to engage in outdoor activities, garden, knit, and read 1) Getting a brand new district up and running was a challenging task. Our situation was unique in the combination of two separate districts with two different superintendents. The board worked to make this process as collaborative as possible.

Hiring a great superintendent using a process that engaged various components of the school community was an important accomplishment.

Negotiating new contracts with teachers and support staff who had differing contracts was a large accomplishment. A big focus this year has been on creating a vision for our new district. A process that included voices from across the school community has been used. The final vision will be approved in May. The last accomplishment worthy of mention is the addition of student representation on the school board.

When this change is fully implemented two students, one senior and one junior will add their voices to the board’s discussions.

2) The board needs to continue to focus on equity and how it can be used to improve student opportunities and outcomes. Once the vision is in place, a plan for continuous improvement will be written and the entire district’s focus will be on implementing strategies that will result in meeting

the goals of that plan. The board’s work will be to support the professionals in these efforts.

3) The role of a school system is to educate students.

Part of that education is preparing them to become members of society with an understanding of civic duty and engagement. The board doesn’t have a direct role in this but rather provides the leadership (through hiring a superintendent) and support to make education possible. It is clear that students have a right to express their opinions as long as they do it in a way that is respectful and is not disruptive to the learning of other students. The opportunity for students to learn to express themselves in a safe and respectful environment is an important piece of their education. Since the board’s role is one of making policy, the board would only have a decision making role if the actions of district personnel were appealed to the board.

1) We hired the right superintendent for our district. Beth has focused her work around building and strengthening relationships with the school and community. Voices for Education has provided a structure for the board and administration to have direct communication with students and the community and has helped to inform the vision for the new district.

Student representation on the board is critical and has already made us stronger.

Teacher and support staff contract negotiations in the merged district required an unbelievable effort by all involved and was a tremendous accomplishment.

2) We need to work towards creating equity across the district. We need to build and strengthen relationships between the board, students, the schools and the community. We need to support our leadership team as they work to implement the vision for EWSD (coming soon!).

Students have a right to express their opinions as long as they do it in a way that is respectful and is not disruptive to the learning of other students. Our administration supports this position and the board’s role is to provide guidance to the superintendent and her leadership team as they work to create opportunities for student voice and expression across the district.

SCHOOL & OvatiOnS

Essex scholars defend title Essex High School claimed its second consecutive state high school academic competition championship on Saturday, March 24th, prevailing in the final rounds of the Vermont-NEA Scholars' Bowl at the University of Vermont.

In a dramatic state final that featured 13 lead changes, Essex mounted a decisive run midway through the last round to secure a 415-355 victory over Hanover. It gave EHS its record eighth state title, including five in the last six years.

Seniors Nick Norton, Alex He and Sam Feehan, junior Grace Lu, and freshmen Henry Wu and Nathan Wu were the participating students for Essex, which earns an all-expenses-paid trip to represent Vermont at the PACE National Scholastics Championship in the Washington DC suburbs in June. Essex is coached by David Rome.

Hanover got off to a fast start in the championship match, building a lead of 85-30 in the opening minutes, before Essex scored the next five questions to take a 125-120 edge at the end of the first of three

rounds of competition. The teams then traded 50-point showings in the lightning round, leaving Essex up 175-170 entering the last nine minutes. The teams went back and forth to start the final round, exchanging the lead nine times in the space of 11 questions, before a spurt pushed Hanover in front 290-265 at about the halfway point.

But Essex responded by answering 10 of the next 11 questions in a 100 to-10 run to take command. Hanover got no closer than 375-330 thereafter.

The title game capped an exciting last day of competition that saw six of the 13 matches decided by 60 points or fewer. The closest matches of the day saw South Burlington outlast Burr Burton, 323-322, in an overtime thriller in the opening round and Champlain Valley rally in the closing seconds for a 355-350 victory over Burlington in the quarterfinals.

Essex got to the final by rolling past Lyndon in the quarterfinals and pulling away from Middlebury, 470-340, in the semi-

Negotiating new employee contracts with teachers and support staff. Creating the Voices for Education Committee which aided in the process of creating a new vision. Lastly, the newest addition of student representation on the Board. Union 46 had had student reps but somewhere over time that voice was lost. It will be excellent when we have both a junior and senior student advisor once again.

2) Continue the focus on equity and how it can be used to improve student opportunity and outcomes.

finals. Hanover rode a fast start to a 440-315 win over CVU in the other semifinal.

Middlebury got to the semifinals by winning four matches on the day, defeating Mt. Abraham, Montpelier and Lyndon to capture the the Medlar Cup -- the tournament's second-chance competition. The Tigers then knocked off Mt. Mansfield, 330-270, in the quarterfinals before its lost to Essex.

The Scholars' Bowl is a school yearlong competition that features regional tournaments in the fall and playoffs after the new year. Saturday's 13 participants qualified by winning at least three of their five matches on the first day of the playoffs on January 27th.

The Vermont Chapter of the National Education Association sponsors the Scholars' Bowl, which has been testing the state's brightest high school students since the 1983-84 school year. To find out more about our organization, visit our website at www. scholarsbowl.org.

3) One quote that I will paraphrase is that politics walks into the room with the second person to enter, until then it is not there.

Schools are about education and a safe space to practice civil discourse. Schools are a place to learn about and understand what it means to be a member of our society with the civic duties and responsibilities as citizens. The Board’s role is to provide an environment in which this learning can and will happen. A recent Secretary of Education reminded us the students have a right to express the opinion as long as they do it in a fashion that is not disruptive the learning of other students.
