The Essex Jct. trustees plan to use their economic development fund to fix up this temporary parking lot located behind Road ResQ property owner. Gabe Handy granted the village permission to use the lot for public parking last year. It's sat mostly empty since then.

One-cent fund to fix temporary lot By COLIN FLANDERS

The Essex Jct. trustees intend to dip into their 1-cent economic development fund for the first time to purchase decorative banners and spruce up a temporary parking lot on private land. The move comes a year after Gabe Handy granted permission for public parking on his property behind Road ResQ. The lot has sat mostly empty since then, water pooling in its center after a stretch of rainy April days.

“Because it’s so uneven, it looks like an abandoned area,” village president George Tyler said. “We wanted to tidy it up a little bit and make it more attractive for people to park there.” The village will temper its fixes since Handy can develop the land at any time, though Tyler said the developer has yet to submit any conceptual plans for the space. Community development director Robin Pierce estimated $5,000 for the rehab. He said the public works department will dump sure-pack gravel, a cheaper

blacktop alternative, to level the lot before painting 22 spaces. The estimate covers signs indicating a one-way system where drivers enter and exit from Pearl Street and a light from Green Mountain Power. Tyler advised the trustees double Pierce’s recommendation in case the project goes over budget and then return any leftover money to the fund. Though upgrading private land with public money is uncommon, it’s not unheard of, Tyler said. He pointed to the multiuse safety path that runs on railroad proper-

ty, to which the village contributed $100,000. Similarly, the village hopes the parking lot benefits village businesses. “It’s money going to a public good no matter whose land it’s on,” Pierce said. The trustees are also eying new fabric banners for the village center. Administrative assistant Patty Benoit requested $5,000 for 86 banners to replace the current stock and cover the Pearl St. missing link project. Benoit’s proposal also includes 20 vinyl banners commemorating See LOT, page 4

Essex author details career as innkeeper By COLIN FLANDERS

ancy Hinchliff woke up on a rollaway bed her first day as an innkeeper. She’d toured the old Kentucky mansion a year earlier, marveling at the high ceilings and low price, its brick exterior comparing favorably to the $2 million brownstones back in Chicago. At just $108,000, it was a steal. She had to have it. But five bedrooms seemed indulgent for a 64-year-old retiree who lived alone. “I'm going to be rattling around by myself,” she thought.

‘Buffalo soldiers’: Vt. legacy recognized

Two local sites added to African American Heritage Trail Just over 100 years after its Fort Ethan Allen assignment ended, the U.S. Army’s first all-black post-Civil War regiment was honored with two historic markers on Vermont’s Afri-

can American Heritage Trail. Dubbed “Buffalo soldiers,” the Army’s 10th Cavalry was stationed at the Colchester fort from 1909 to 1913. The plaques are posted at the intersection of Route 15 and Ethan Allen Avenue in Essex and in front of the Elley-Long

Music Center in Colchester. “Black history is Vermont history,” said Curtiss Reed, executive director of the Vermont Partnership for Fairness and Diversity. “They are intertwined. We think this is a great opportunity to celebrate that history and See TRaIL, page 10

and colleague from her days teaching art and music in Chicago suggested she open a bed and breakfast. Hinchliff had little start-up cash and even less business experience, but she knew her pension wouldn’t last long in the Windy City. So in 1994, the Detroit native plunged into self-employment, becoming one of only a handful of innkeepers in Old Louisville, the nation’s third largest historic preservation district.

Pearson cuts out niche business

home and opened its first brick-and-mortar store at 38 Park St. Throughout high school, Pearson worked at Maynard auto Supply and, after he graduated, served in the military for four years. When he came back, he tried out a few jobs here and there, but at age 25, he decided to take a shot at working at his mother’s business. a fast learner with a hands-on-approach, Pearson said he hasn’t been bored in 22 years. “I do something different every day. You challenge yourself,” he said. “You have got to be creative. I have learned a lot from my mom.” In 1997, Pearson graduated from English Saddle School in Silver, N.C., where he learned the skills he needed to build custom English saddles. Then, 12 years ago, Pearson completed an apprentice program to become a master shoemaker. Every Thursday for the last 20 years, Pearson travels to his horse barn clients to pick up and deliver products in need of repair. “I took that business over just by giving that service,” Pearson said. “When I started, my mom didn’t do any tack — just garment stuff — and that wasn’t really my bag.” Today, Hides Pride offers a variety of services, including tack, which has become a significant part of the business. The company repairs leather and fur jackets, seat

covers, pillows, and purses. Harley Davidson uses the business when customers request repairs for its zippers, race suits and chaps. Plus, some of the local dry cleaners outsource their alterations to Hides Pride. Once in a great while, Pearson said, a custom order comes around that’s too good to pass up. Recently, a customer wanted 35 custom-designed leather tool books, a zippered book that opens up to a two-sided tool holder. Pearson said the client sent an image of his desired product from a Google search, which evolved into two prototypes made from scratch. Hours of labor later, Pearson came up with the final piece, costing hundreds of dollars per book. The showroom also carries name-brand bags that, though not made in-house, are sold at discounted prices from Nine West, Vera Bradley and Coach. Many are under $50. “People have spent hours in here,” Pearson said. “I just tell them, ‘I am here until 6. Yell if you need me.’” With business thriving, Pearson plans to continue the family tradition until he retires. “In this line of work, it’s not about money,” he said. “It’s about having a good time, doing quality stuff. Treat people the way you would want to be treated.”

Considering Pearson’s contagious energy, it’s no wonder customers have been coming back to Hides Pride for years. Behind him stand vintage sewing machines, and custom tools hang on the back wall. In the front of the store, the showroom is filled with leather jackets, wallets and purses. For more than 60 years, Hides Pride has specialized in leather and sheepskin repairs and alterations. Shirley Pearson, Pearson’s mother, got her start in the industry doing alterations and repairs for a business called The Company Store, which, at one point, had a chain of retail stores in Chittenden County. When the company went out of business in 1978, Shirley Pearson acquired some of its machines and all of its patterns and started her own business working out of the basement of the family’s home on Lincoln Street. Pearson recalled being 9 years old and helping his mom cut out patterns. “I grew up cutting,” he explained. “You got paid by the piece. The faster you cut, the more money you could make. I could sit there and watch TV. Cutting out wallets was 50 cents, a vest was a $1.50 and a coat was $3.”

EHS senior to host multicultural potluck Weith celebrates Essex's growing diversity through capstone project

By COLIN FLANDERS An Essex High School senior hopes to celebrate Essex’s growing diversity by inviting the community to a multicultural potluck this Saturday. Henry Weith, an EHS visual and performance arts academy student, encourages attendees to bring a cultural dish to share or simply join in for a free meal from 5 to 8 p.m. at Maple Street Park. The event is part of Weith’s capstone project, a hands-on endeavor that gives back in some way. "I wanted it to be a community coming together, creating a shared product," he said, adding he hopes the potluck serves as a space for people of various cultures to discuss different perspectives. The idea is inspired by Laban Hill, an English teacher who noticed most students were white at an EHS dance he chaperoned last year despite the district’s population of people of color continually growing. State data shows 85 percent of CCSU students self-identified as white during the 2015-16 school census, compared to Verand Maay-Maay. mont’s average of 91 percent.

The book details her 20-year career as an innkeeper, covering all the lessons she learned along the way. "I made some stupid mistakes as far as business is concerned,” Hinchliff said in her Essex home last week. “I wasn't a business person. I was an arts person. Money, I just don't like focusing on money. To me, it's there to spend.” Five bedrooms meant five times the furniture, and without a business plan, Hinchliff sunk into debt as she filled the house. She cut corners anywhere she could, making her own bedspreads and curtains, yet by the time she was ready to open, she’d nearly exhausted her credit cards. Desperate to recoup her the money, she forfeited her own bedroom, sleeping in a room outside the kitchen for the next three years. Each night, she locked the six doors around her, a golden retriever laying guard close by. Mornings meant cooking, another challenge compounded by the pressure of feeding paying guests. “You couldn’t give them Cheerios like I

was used to eating,” she said. The night before her first guests arrived — 10 farmers in town for one of Louisville’s major farm shows — she called a fellow innkeeper and explained the gourmet menu she planned. “Why are you doing all that?” the woman asked. “They’re farmers. Why don’t you do grits and gravy?” Hinchliff stuck with her menu the first day but welcomed grits the second, learning how to tailor the experience for her guests. She also fancied herself quite the cook, leading to a co-authored cookbook that won the Bed and Breakfast Association of Kentucky’s President's Award. For years, she maintained a 60 percent occupancy, all the while surpassing obstacles like collapsed ceilings and flooded basements. Time eventually caught up to Hinchliff in the form of advanced arthritis. Her knees turned the inn’s 40 stairs into a mountain, and her hands, unable to work the kitchen like before, meant she had to hire a chef. She was ready to refinance in 2008, but like many at the time, she couldn’t find a willing lender. The financial crisis slashed her occupancy rate to 35 percent, forcing her to cut back on fruit and water bottles to save money. Selling the house proved equally difficult. With no buyers in sight, she almost sold to an employee through a land contract, a risky deal that fell through after she’d al-

the village’s 125th anniversary this year. The trustees are holding the final public hearing at their May 9 meeting before voting on the projects. Approval will mark the trustees first time employing their economic development fund after voters favored its creation at the 2016 annual meeting. Financed by 1 cent on the tax rate, the fund currently holds $108,000 and is capped at five years. It will require voter approval to continue beyond that. The Handy lot project will also gauge the village’s lack of parking, which the trustees call a misconception despite many residents stating otherwise. “After a year or so if no one is using it, then we’ve learned that there really isn’t the demand that we thought there was,” Tyler said.

ready packed up 40 boxes of her belongings. “I thought, ‘Well, I’m not going to let this throw me.’ So I didn’t open the boxes. I just left them like that for seven years,” she said. A realtor finally promised she could sell the house, if Hinchliff was willing. Hinchliff finalized the deal three months later, wrapping up her career as quickly and unexpectedly as it began. She moved to Essex soon after to be close to her daughter, who lives in Jericho. The boxes sat in her garage for almost a year, whittled down through two sales, one netting over $1,000. Paintings pad her walls. Old photos consume a table in the corner. Books sit stacked on another. More fill the shelves by a sliding glass door, where birds can be heard from the backyard and beyond. Her memoir spanned five years, with as many rewrites. “I wanted my voice to come out,” she said. “Everybody says it does, so I’m glad of that.” After a slow adjustment to Vermont, Hinchliff now enjoys the pace of life here, remarking on the solitude like a long-lost friend. It’s the writer in her, she said. She’s now halfway through a novel about her grandparents, who moved from a farm to North Carolina to Detroit during prohibition. She can’t help but slip in a teaser: Her mother becomes involved with a gangster, she said, smirking. An exciting tale indeed.

Water and sewer bills due Water and sewer bills were mailed to Village of Essex Jct. property owners on April 28. The current bill includes quarterly fixed charges plus water usage for the previous six months. The previous water and sewer bill, dated January 27, was for quarterly fixed charges only and did not include the usage on the current bill. Payments can be mailed or brought to the village office at 2 Lincoln St., Essex Jct., VT 05452. A dropbox

is available for afterhours check payments. Payments received or postmarked after May 31 will be charged a 5 percent penalty. For questions concerning your bill, or if you did not receive a bill, please call the village office at 878-6944. Water/sewer bills can be paid online or in office with credit or debit card (a convenience fee will be charged).

The original master plan for Essex Town Center was completed in 1991 and, while a useful guide for long-term planning in the area, it did not anticipate the ongoing changes in the regional development market and pressures for housing that exist today. Much has changed. Recognizing this, the Town of Essex hired a consulting team 2016 to help update this master plan, with a stronger emphasis on design outcomes, better connectivity and appropriate regulatory guidance for new development.

We must act now on significant savings By GoV. phiL ScoTT We have an opportunity to save up to $26 million a year – up to $100 million over five years, adjusting for inflation – in our education system, without program cuts or asking teachers to pay more for benefits. But the legislature must act now. The federal affordable care act signed by president obama put high valued health plans at risk of a cadillac tax. The Vermont Education health initiative is transitioning to new plans, which are projected to cost substantially less than existing plans and will not be subjected to the federal penalty. That’s why i’ve put forward a proposal – developed with the Vermont School Boards association and the Vermont Superintendents association – that creates a statewide health benefit where the state bargains with employee unions, maximizing the savings of these new plans. This approach would save up to $26 million each year. Right now, taxpayers invest $1.6 billion a year in our K-12 education system – about $19,000 per student, the highest per pupil spending in the country. We have the smallest classes in the nation – averaging less than 10 students per teacher and almost four students per staff member. Though we have 27,000 fewer kids in our public schools than we did 20 years ago, the costs of the system have been growing faster than our economy – and faster than many Vermonters’ ability to pay. While we have good schools and great teachers, the fact is – even with the highest per pupil spending in the country – we are not yet an education destination for young families. But we can be. if we have the courage to rethink how we structure and fund education and work together to ensure more of our spending goes to educating kids rather than empty spaces and unnecessary costs, our schools can become our best economic development tool. That's why i’ve proposed moving toward a cradle-tocareer education system that realigns priorities and spending. By investing in early care and learning, technical and

higher education, we can attract more families to Vermont, better prepare students for 21st century jobs and address social challenges facing teachers and students. Since presenting my budget in January, i’ve highlighted opportunities to reduce costs, specifically in health care, which is one of the biggest drivers of growth in school budgets. The teachers’ union itself cited “the inexorable growth in health care costs” as the “root” of excessive growth in school budgets. now, with the details of my plan in place, we know we can save up to $26 million per year while preserving high quality health care coverage for school employees, and without asking them to pay more. Think about that. When was the last time Vermont had an opportunity to reduce education costs by $100 million over five years, without asking employees to pay more or cutting services? never in my lifetime. imagine the value of these savings to our kids, and our economy. By creating this statewide benefit, we’ll be better positioned to achieve the education vision i’ve highlighted. We could return savings to taxpayers. We could invest in childcare and early education. We could expand science, technology, engineering or mathematics programs. We could reduce the cost of college. We could do some, or all, of the above. What we can’t do is leave this savings on the table. Realizing up to $26 million in savings each year is a win for taxpayers. it’s a win for local volunteer school boards who can focus more on school programs and classroom innovation instead of negotiating complicated health care proposals. and we can achieve this while ensuring school employees do not pay more. With all teachers’ contracts open this year, it is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. as we continue to lose an average of six workers from our workforce and three students from our schools each day, we literally cannot afford to pass it up. For the future of our kids and teachers, and our economic well-being, we must act now.

(d)Chittenden 8-2 dy l a n@ v tdy l a n. co m 734- 8841 By REp. BoB BancRoFT With an expected adjournment on May 6, legislative activity has kicked up a notch. Last week the house passed 13 bills. For the week, there were 10 bills approved by the house and Senate (35 for the year). This coming week promises to be a provocative one. The house will be dealing with two marijuana bills. currently before the house is h.167, which was initially passed by the house in March and dealt with alternative approaches to addressing low-level illicit drug use. in its trip through the Senate, a marijuana amendment was added. There were two parts to this amendment. The first was similar to h.170 (never voted on). This bill completely decriminalized the possession of up to one ounce, two mature plants and four immature plants. The second part was last year’s Senate bill, which would allow commercial marijuana cultivation and retail sales. i believe the house Judiciary committee plans to eliminate the commercialization part of the amendment and keep the decriminalization (one

ounce and plants) part. i will not be supporting this amendment. another Senate marijuana bill, S.16, will come before the house. This bill allows the establishment of “forprofit” medical marijuana dispensaries, increases the number of dispensaries from four to 12 and allows marijuana for the treatment of pTSD. i cannot support the “for-profit” dispensaries or the pTSD treatment provisions. i do not think the science is conclusive on using marijuana to treat pTSD. a contentious fight is brewing over the Senate’s changes to the house budget passed in March and the governor’s proposal for a statewide teachers’ health insurance contract. The Senate passed a budget bill, which was $14.5 million higher than the house version. The troubling part of their version is the shifting of $8 million of the annual state teacher retirement contribution from the general fund to the education fund, which will result in higher property taxes. While teacher retirement funding is certainly an education expense and theoretically belongs in the education fund, i believe taxpay-

ers have made it clear property taxes are already too high. Education property taxes need to be lowered through reduced education costs and/or other sources of funding. The governor has proposed a statewide teacher health insurance contract which would save taxpayers an estimated $26 million in the first year of the contract and an estimated $100 million over five years, while providing teachers with comparable benefits at no additional cost. Both the Vermont School Board association and the Vermont Superintendents association support the proposal. Leadership in both legislative bodies are refusing to take up this proposal based on the pretense that there is not enough time to vet the proposal and comparable savings can be achieved in the future. contrary to the claim, these large savings will be lost if we do not act now. Legislative leadership can make the time to fully address this unique opportunity by extending the session by a week or less. an additional week will cost taxpayers $250,000. a quarter of a million to save $26 million a year and lower property taxes is a no-brainer.

hether you own a half-acre or a 100-acre woodlot, at some point you might start thinking about cutting some trees. Maybe you’d like to harvest timber for a building project or for firewood or to encourage the maples in your sugarbush. if you have a strong back and a chainsaw, you may be able to harvest some trees yourself. at some point, however, when the with Ethan Tapper trees are too big or too many or too far away, you might want to consider calling in an expert. you’ll want to appeal to an endangered species: the Vermont logger. i suggest you first call a forester. Foresters act on the behalf of landowners, ensuring timber harvesting is done with best practices and the forest’s health in mind. They help you hire a skilled logger and sign them to a fair contract. Foresters mark the trees to be cut and supervise the harvest to make sure everything goes smoothly. you’ll have the best chance of a successful harvest and for you for your forest if you involve a forester. Many landowners are intimated by logging; they have seen photographs of ugly harvests, read news articles about loggers fined for misconduct and listened to a friend’s or neighbor’s negative experience. These stories give landowners second thoughts about hiring a logger to cut their precious, well-cared-for land. however, public perception of logging is misleading. What you don’t hear about are harvests that succeed. These harvests, which exponentially outnumber problematic ones, leave the forest well tended and well stocked with healthy, productive trees. But why do we need loggers? Forests do not “need” to be cut, right? The answer is yes, and no, and “it’s complicated.” Forests in the northeast are certainly capable of looking after themselves. While there is evidence that human management has occurred in Vermont for thousands of years, and well before European colonization, forests are able to grow, reproduce and be healthy without human intervention. however, as i often tell landowners, the untended forest will not necessarily do these things on our (human) terms. consider what will happen if we don’t “thin” our forests. Thinning treatments are systems of harvesting timber to free-up growing space in an immature stand. as we thin the woods, we make some tough choices about which trees to retain based on their health, species, wildlife utility, aesthetics and their ability to produce timber or another forest product (such as maple sap) in the future. if we do not thin our forests, they may still grow, reproduce, provide wildlife habitat and look beautiful, but they will not necessarily do these things and produce trees of commercial value and do so quickly. our intervention helps us protect the ecological importance of the forest while extracting an economically and culturally important sustainable resource. Which brings us back to the logger. Landowners and foresters can only actualize our goals for our forests in partnership with loggers. after all, it is the logger who has the equipment and the know-how to actually harvest trees and get them out of the woods. Without loggers, there is no way to turn your trees and into a property tax payment, a new shed or a warm fire in your woodstove. So is the only purpose of forests to provide landowners with economic benefits? of course not. Forests in Vermont provide a multitude of services to all of us. Some of these services (clean air, clean water, wildlife habitat, tourism) provide us with a clear benefit. others are just as important but not so obvious. We need to preserve these benefits while recognizing that harvesting a renewable resource and producing income for landowners can be extremely positive for our forests. high quality forest management walks this tightrope and can only be realized with the help of skilled loggers. and so, as spring approaches, i would invite you to recognize the asset your local loggers are.

TRAIL from page 1 broaden the general public’s knowledge.” Although the message on each marker differs slightly, both highlight the professional and decorated service the Army’s 10th Calvary delivered during the Spanish-American War – traits it was known for during its four years at the fort. The inscriptions also tout the regiment’s noteworthy involvement and popularity in the community. “They brought their panache working with horses and equestrians. And they brought a different type of culture to Burlington,” Reed said. “Some of them stayed afterward, and there are some descendants of some Buffalo soldiers still in Vermont.” The trail’s network of historic landmarks, memorials and museums stretches across the state, highlighting the eras, people and events significant to African-American culture in the Green Mountain State, according to its website. Formed four years ago with 10 sites, the Heritage Trail was an initiative of the Vermont Partnership for Fairness and Diversity in collaboration with the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, local museums and historical societies. Today, Vermont’s African American Heritage Trail has 22 sites. A third location – the Clemmons Family Farm in Charlotte – was also added last month. The 148-acre farm is one of the oldest and largest African American-owned farms in Vermont, and includes six historical farm buildings, according to a press release. “It highlights the fact that we have this tourism as a resource and an educational tool,” said Hilary DelRoss, a heritage and recreation specialist at the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing. Last fall, before the signage was officially added to the trail, a collaborative effort between the organizations brought the historic signage to fruition in front of the Colchester music cen-

ter.

About a week ago, the same partnership was responsible for erecting the second marker at the Route 15 intersection before both became a part of the network at the end of April. Additionally, the two organizations worked with St. Michael’s College, which owns Elley-Long Music Center, to place the marker in Colchester and with Essex municipal manager Pat Scheidel regarding the Route 15 plaque. “They did really a fabulous job with getting a consultant to do research and the applications,” state historic preservation officer Laura Trieschmann said. “For the most part, they went in as proposed.” Since the beginning of the historical marker initiative in 1947, the state has helped create 237 plaques, Trieschmann said. Each marker is allotted 765 letter spaces, and funding, half of which is used for main-

Having two markers that memorialize similar events or historical figures so close like these is rare, Trieschmann said, but the state and the VPFD saw enough difference to create two within walking distance, she said. “We are looking for sites where we can tell stories and

where people might not see a physical remainder,” Trieschmann said. “In both cases, I think the markers were perfect.” As the African American Heritage Trail continues to grow, Reed said his organization is also focused on expanding the educational opportunities that come with the historic network, including lesson plans and interac-

EHS student wins nat'l scholarship to volunteer abroad Henry Wu of Essex High School is one of 10 winners in a national scholarship contest called, “AFS Project: Change.” Wu will receive a full scholarship to spend two weeks in Guatemala this summer with AFS Intercultural Programs, where he and the nine other winners will collaborate on a volunteer project designed to promote environmental sustainability. The Change contest is an annual initiative that presents eighth through twelfth graders in the U.S. with educational materials on six global issues and asks them to develop a project idea to address one of these key issues in an impacted country. This year’s contest brought in over 700 proposals — in written or video format — from students around the country. Their submissions were evaluated for quality, creativity and feasibility. Ten winners were chosen to receive full scholarships to carry out the winning project idea, “Painting Brighter Futures." Wu’s proposed project idea addressed environmental sustainability applicable to several countries, including Guatemala, entitled: “Trees and Tributaries: Planting Vegetation to Fight Soil Erosion.” He earned 513 votes for his project proposal. To view the full proposal, visit: http://bit. ly/2pVVIz3 While in Guatemala, the group will engage children in educational activities designed to empower them to become sustainability advocates and make informed decisions about their environmental impact. The group will also get to explore Guatemala’s unparalleled natural beauty and become immersed in the local language and culture. “Today’s students are creative — they’re problem solvers,” said Jorge Castro, president of AFS-USA. “With Proj-

Colombia and India focused on cultural preservation, literacy and nutritional education. Castro emphasized global volunteerism has always been a cornerstone of the organization, which was started in 1947 by former members of the American Field Service, a volunteer WWI and WWII ambulance driver corps. “AFS programs are supported by roughly 4,500 volunteers throughout the U.S. and 40,000 worldwide,” Castro said. “And now, increasingly, our students are focused on volunteering as well.” To learn more about Project: Change and this year’s winners, visit: http://bit.ly/2pVVIz3 Interested high school students can join the 10 scholarship winners on their journey to Guatemala this summer by signing up at: http://www.afsusa.org/project-change/ guatemala

Essex resident Trisha Scharf is one of five Vermonters to be recognized as Early Childhood Superheroes for going above and beyond to help young children reach their full potential, Let's Grow Kids announced. Scharf is the executive director of Children Unlimited in Williston and has been in the early childhood field for 30 years. This year, Scharf has called on Vermont legislators to increase investments in high-quality, affordable child care. Scharf helped plan a Rally for Kids at the State House during Early Childhood Day where she was one of the featured speakers. She told lawmakers about parents with children in her program asking her when they should start trying to get pregnant with a second child because they know infant spaces are non-existent. She also talked about losing a young, dedicated teacher to another profession because she could not support her family on an early educator’s salary. “It breaks my heart when I have to turn families away because I don’t have space for their children. Unfortunately, it’s an everyday occurrence,” Scharf said. “The best investment Vermont can make as a state is an investment in its children. That’s what I’m asking our legislators to do.” The selection of Early Childhood Superheroes followed a statewide call for nominations of unsung heroes among educators, child care professionals, parents, grandparents, volunteers, business people, policymakers, civic leaders and

Trisha Scharf clergy. From the nominations, a panel of early childhood experts representing Building Bright Futures, Vermont Birth to Five, the Vermont Early Childhood Alliance and Let's Grow Kids selected five Vermonters from various regions of the state who have demonstrated a commitment to the success of Vermont’s youngest children through “above and beyond” contributions to children’s lives. “Early Childhood Superheroes play an absolutely critical role in giving Vermont’s kids a strong start," Let’s Grow Kids campaign director Robyn FreednerMaguire said. "They understand that children’s experiences during the first five years are literally built into the brain, and they’re committed to making high-quality, affordable child care a reality in our state."

SPORTSHORTS Vacation is over, so back to school and work. Everyone’s a bit more active this week after a light load last week; some teams didn’t play, while others were business as usual. Take advantage of the warmer weather and catch at least one contest. The baseball team is now 5-1 after winning threestraight last week. They downed BFA before shelling Mt. Abe 15-8 and edging the Rebels 6-5 behind pitching of freshman Corey Gianelli. The JVs tied the Bobwhites, beat Mt. Abe 12-4 and lost to SB 12-10. They are 4-1-1. The teams face the Seahorses and the Green Knights on Tuesday and Thursday. The JV B team coached by Gabe Coleman dropped game one to SB, 15-10. This week it’s CVU, Winooski and a jamboree in Rutland. The softball team is 4-2 after a 2-1 week. A walk-off 10-9 win over archrival BFA began vacation week. The girls fell 9-8 to the Eagles next as a four-run rally came up just short in the seventh. Kylie Svarczkopf had two hits and blasted a homerun. Molly Bryuns had three RBIs, and Sarah Knickerbocker smashed three hits. Caitlin Toth struck out six in five innings. Saturday, they beat SB 19-2 as Makenna Thorne crushed a grand slam, while Bruyns and Emily Harvey had four hits. Toth struck out six in the win. The JVs went 2-1 and

By JOE GONILLO are also 4-2. This week it’s BHS and Rice. Our boys lacrosse team, 1-5, hung in vs. SB last Friday evening before bowing 8-5. The Hornets were led by tri-captain Connor Leblanc’s 2 goal, 1 assist game. Essex fought back after a 5-1 deficit. Connor Schultz stopped 15 shots. Essex had 25 shots. This week’s opposition includes road games in Hanover and Barre. The JV’s are 0-3 after a tough 5-3 loss to SB. Cam Frankenhoff scored twice. Rowan Mahoney scored the other goal. The girls’ lacrosse team returns to action at home Tuesday vs. Middlebury and in Jericho on Thursday. Same schedule for the JVs while the frosh are scheduled for their first two games on Wednesday and Saturday. The track team hosted its annual Vacational Meet Wednesday. Initiated in the early 2000s to reward athletes who stayed at home to practice during the April break, it continues to be a huge success. Some coaches See SHORTS, page 14

Watched Essex Hornet/ Notre Dame Fighting Irish lax star Brendan Gleason play on ESPN on Sunday vs. North Carolina in the ACC finals. The sophomore scored three goals in a 1410 loss. The Irish now await their NCAA tourney seeding. NFL Draft was a lot of fun. Clearly the best draft pick announcement was made by former Cowboy wideout Drew Pearson — Rodger Staubach’s favorite target.

Haley's garlic & Lime guacamole Use just-ripe avocados in this recipe. The skin will be greenish-brown and the flesh should yield a little when you press on it. Beware of avocados that look almost black and cave in when you press them. Sometimes grocery stores put a "ripe" label on these to try to sell them, but the flesh inside will be streaked/splotched with brown and look rather gross. If your avocados are rock-hard (under-ripe), put them in a closed paper bag for a day or two and they should ripen quickly.

By NANCY MoCK, HungryEnoughToEatSix.com

s the recipe name tells you, this is my daughter Haley’s recipe for a superb guacamole. She throws this dip together pretty quickly for a snack with plenty of tortilla chips. All I have to do is leave some avocados and limes on the kitchen table and she can't resist the lure Though this is a simple guacamole comprised of only four ingredients, it has a bright and vibrant flavor thanks to plenty of lime juice and minced garlic. I have nothing against guacs with diced tomatoes or minced onion. In my opinion, the only bad guacamole is a bland guacamole. Fewer ingredients makes for speedy prep — and speedy eating, too.

IngredIents • 4 just-ripe avocados (Some brown color in the skin is fine. Stay away from overripe avocados that look black and are squishy.) • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 Tbs.) • 4 cloves garlic minced • ½ tsp. salt

Slice open the avocados length-wise. Discard the pits and scrape the flesh into a large bowl. Pour the lime juice over the top and use a potato masher to mash the avocado and juice together. Add in the minced garlic and salt and stir the guacamole to mix everything together well.

Serve the guacamole with tortilla chips.

To store, cover with plastic wrap and press the plastic to the surface of the guacamole. Refrigerate for up to two days. Makes 2 cups.

Light one side of your grill, and preheat until temperature gauge shows 350 degrees F. Place ribs meat side up in a roasting pan. Cover pan tightly with foil and place on the unlit side of your grill. Bake for 1 1/4 hours. In a saucepan over medium heat on the stove or the side burner of the grill, combine maple syrup, orange juice concentrate, ketchup, soy sauce, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in curry powder, garlic and green onions. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove ribs from roasting pan, and baste completely meat side and bone side with still warm sauce. Retain half of the sauce for additional basting. Place ribs on soaked maple planks, bone side down. Put the planks with the ribs on them on one side of the grill with low heat setting directly underneath them. Turn the other side of the barbecue to high and close lid. Keep temperature around 350 degrees F. Planks should begin to smoke within a few minutes and produce a sweet fragrant smoke in your grill. Adjust the amount of smoke you would like to add by increasing or decreasing direct heat underneath the planks and opening or closing the lid. Do not allow planks to catch fire. Allow ribs to cook on the planks for 25 minutes. Use remaining sauce to baste ribs several times throughout cooking. Remove planks with ribs on them from the grill and place planks directly on a plate or tray for serving.

people and more donations each of the past 10 years. In 2016, Cocktails raised $22,000, split between ACS and the University of Vermont Cancer Center’s breast cancer programs, Dall said. When 2017’s event rolls through in October, Dall hopes the 10-year grand total will exceed $100,000. Though her mom is happy and healthy, Dall said she continues to cultivate the gathering to recognize the heavy topic of cancer but in a light-hearted environment. The event often sells out, but Dall sets aside a few tickets for newly diagnosed patients to attend, meet survivors and converse about the difficulties and triumphs of the journey ahead. That no cure exists deeply troubles Dall. How she was nominated for this award equally stumps her. She recalls opening the nomination letter earlier this month with both embarrassment and excitement. She’s proud but humble. “There are other people who do a lot more than I do,”

she said. The award honors the late Labaree, a cancer patient, volunteer and founder of the society’s New England board of directors. Within the region, 103 volunteers were nominated and about 40 received the honor, Osbahr said. Dall follows Essex Jct. resident Robynn Moore, who received the accolade in 2008, when Dall’s volunteerism kicked off. Since then, Cocktails for Cancer has expanded beyond Vermont. Past participants moved out of state to Delaware and Georgia, launching their own Cocktails gatherings. As Dall’s kids — now 7 and 9 years old — grow older, Dall said she can’t continue Cocktails forever. With a steady event committee in place, though, she has hope it will sustain its value. Before her mom was diagnosed, Dall knew hardly anyone personally affected by the disease. But at Making Strides, she’s met survivors 25 years strong. Others, Dall recalled, are just three

Among the sea of pink each year is Parmelee, and while each time is emotional, Dall remembers one moment in particular that left her speechless. A stranger consoled her as she cried, saying, “It’s

gonna be OK.” Through Cocktails with Cancer, now a certified nonprofit, Dall aims to have a similar effect on those who attend, particularly young moms. “I just don’t want them to feel alone,” she said.
