Coffee and community mesh at Nest

By COLIN FLANDERS

PHOTO BY COLIN FLANDERS

Nest Coffee & Bakery and Firebird Café owner Jake Tran shows the difference between two bean types under the glow of his Diedrich roaster last Thursday.

Jake Tran has spent the better half of the last decade bouncing around a kitchen, overseeing the daily lunch rush like a seasoned air traffic controller.

Yet for the past six months he’s been elsewhere — specifically, pouring energy into his newest endeavor, Nest Coffee & Bakery, which opened on Main Street on May 20.

A stream of customers trickled in last Thursday morning, some stopping by for the first time, others well on their way to becoming regulars. Tran greeted a few by name — familiar faces from Firebird Café, he explained — though the comparisons end there.

That’s because while Tran is no stranger to owning a business, the second time around has been a much different experience.

Opening Firebird was like inheriting a tilled garden, he said. With the shell of its former grub hub still See NEST, page 2

ADL sings sew-long to retirees Family and consumer science teacher departs

Musical Moreau retires with 41-year career

amily and consumer science teacher Terry Potvin, née Francis, wrote a farewell poem to her homeroom students as they ended their journey at Albert D. Lawton Intermediate School in 1993.

ary Moreau didn’t plan on teaching in the Albert D. Lawton Intermediate School music program for long.

“Two or three years,” he thought as he entered his first classroom — a miniscule spot now used by custodians — in summer 1976, a year after graduating from the University of Vermont.

He’d move on and chase his dream as a professional singer. Or so he thought.

Forty-one years later, Moreau attributes his staying power to his long ago realization that the performing business was cutthroat. Remaining where he could simultaneously sing and teach was the best of both worlds.

The time has come to say so long and send you on your way.

And now, after 36 years in the Essex School District — six at Essex High School and the latter 30 at ADL — Potvin is the one saying so long.

But before you leave ADL, I have a few things to say, she wrote.

She’s seen the transformation from four to five food groups to the food pyramid and then to “Choose My Plate.” She’s watched Chromebooks flow into her classroom as hands-on classes like technology education and drama fade away in others.

Over the years, she’s experienced growth in both class size and budget restraints and witnessed former students become coworkers.

Through it all, Potvin said, ADL has become her home and its people her kin. She’s spent over half her life at the school.

I’m sure my own kids would agree, That you are all like family.

Family and consumer science teacher Terry Potvin poses in her Albert D. Lawton classroom last week with a cookbook she made during her master's degree work at Southern New Hampshire University.

When she moved from the high school to middle school after receiving numerous reduction-in-force notices, Potvin was fearful. Little did she know she was about to fall in love with a caring, tight-knit community.

“It’s just been the best place I could ever be,” she said at her desk last week, with only a few pictures left hanging on the wall See POTVIN, page 12

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Moreau and his students sang “The Road Not Taken” by Ruth Elaine Schram, a version of the Robert Frost poem, at his last concert in late May as reality of his June retirement hovered.

“It has definitely been a really fine career to have,” he said in his classroom last week, a picture of his ballerina granddaughter twirling on his desktop. “And I can’t think of any place better than Essex Jct.” Thousands of students have sat in

Albert D. Lawton music teacher Gary Moreau holds sheet music for "Why We Sing," a song by Greg Gilpin, in his classroom last week. After 41 years at ADL, Moreau performed the song with his students at his last concert in late May to commemorate the power singing has on those who take part. his classroom, all for general music education and many who chose to partake in his chorus class each morning. Those who went on to become music teachers themselves are even greater prodigies.

Chittenden County Relay for Life changes event time

By MICHAELA HALNON Instead of circling around the Champlain Valley Expo overnight, participants of this year’s Chittenden County Relay for Life will hit the track at noon on Saturday, June

17, walking to raise money for the American Cancer Society in broad daylight.

Jennifer Clark, the event’s community manager and a cancer survivor herself, said the decision to switch up the annual Essex event

came after significant deliberation.

The overnight walk, traditionally held from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., is often paired with a Relay slogan: “Cancer never sleeps.”

School has served as a sanctuary since Hari Adhikari’s earliest days, a place to escape life’s harshest realities — one where she could simply be a child.

Years later, in a home a world away, her education is pushing her toward a bright future, the kind her parents dreamt of when moving here all those years ago.

Adhikari is the second youngest of four children.

She was born in a refugee camp in Nepal, where her parents landed in the early ’90s after they were exiled from Bhutan.

For 11 years, they lived in bamboo house with a thatch roof. Sometimes, on rainy days, Adhikari remembers moving pots across the floor to keep wa-

ter from soaking the handful of clothes she owned.

Adhikari said her parents did their best to protect them from the harsh conditions. When their rations dwindled, they always managed to find extra food, despite her father only earning $1 a day. During particularly bad storms, they’d stay up all night to make sure the house didn’t collapse on top of them.

Some good memories remain, Adhikari said, like getting into “all the shenanigans kids do.” But as she grew older, she saw how their refugee status meant they were outsiders.

The best part of living in the camp was school.

There, everyone was equal, but the days only lasted so long.

Duo finds niche in ski boot market Bill Doble and Dave Dodge, owners of Dodge Ski Boots, sat in their Essex showroom, surrounded by framed photographs of professional skiers, pairs of freshly made ski boots and a vintage ski lift mounted from the ceiling to the floor.

Doble and Dodge have been designing and manufacturing custom ski boots since 2009. They started working out of Doble’s barn on Lost Nation Road in Essex. In 2015, there was such a high demand for their boots that the pair needed a larger space to accommodate its manufacturing equipment.

When a commercial building opened up on David Drive, the duo jumped at the opportunity.

Doble explained that moving out of the barn was a bittersweet decision.

“We had people, racers, come to the barn to get fitted,” Doble recalled, smiling. “My wife would come out with a plate of chocolate chip cookies. It was a real folksy, homey type of thing.

We can’t sit out front in our lawn chairs and have a beer

"Our blood, sweat and tears are in every pair that is going out the door.”

Bill Doble Co-owner of Dodge Ski Boots its only engineer for Rossignol North america. From 1976 to 1984, he set up the quality control lab and was in charge of finding domestic replacements for all the materials Rossignol imports.

Doble started with the company a year later when he graduated from UVM,

working as a technical representative and manager of two pro teams. In 1983, Doble moved out of state to work for a consumer products company.

In 1984, when Rossignol shut down its North american plant, Dodge started his own consulting business.

For the next nine years, he focused on product design and development for heavy hitters like his former employer, Burton Snowboards, Lange and Tubbs Snowshoes, among others. In 1993, he took a job working for Burton as head of its research and development team. In 2000, he made the decision to follow his passion and went back to being a self-employed consultant.

Before he left Rossignol, Dodge was working with Lange on a carbon-fiber ski boot. He and the company built a few pairs for Hermann Maier, who, at the time, was ranked as one of the top FIS alpine Ski World Cup skiers. Hermann loved the boots so much he told Rossignol he would tear up his contract with atomic

Rossignol was purchased by Quicksilver, which quickly shot down the budget, and the project fell by the wayside.

Dodge took the project into his own hands and, over the next five years, built a carbon-fiber prototype. Thrilled with the results, he reconnected with Doble, who had moved back to Vermont a few years earlier. They took the prototype boots up to a mountain and, after a day of skiing, they both knew the product was better and more durable than any other carbon-fiber boot on the market.

In 2009, Doble and Dodge traveled to the International Main Exhibition for Sports Business in Munich to meet with Rossignol to pitch their new boots. Rossignol loved them, but without enough money in the budget, the duo left Germany without the deal.

When Doble and Dodge returned to the states, they formed Dodge Ski Boots.

First, they tried offering their boots in retail stores but quickly found that selling direct to consumers was

a better fit.

“When people contact us, they know they are talking to not only the people that own the company, but the people that build the boots,” Doble said. “Literally, our blood, sweat and tears are in every pair that is going out the door.”

Dodge Ski Boots has sold more than 1,000 boots to recreational skiers, master ski racers and World Cup skiers all over the world. about half of their clients visit the showroom to get custom-fitted, while the other half use Dodge Ski Boots’ online custom 3-D fitting system.

“We are both in our 60s, we have done something we are proud of, we would like to see it carried on,” Doble said. “The ideal would be to have our baby grow enough to where somebody can take it to the next level and we can be the old people on the mountain saying, ‘You are doing a good job, boys.’”

LocaL nest from page 1 intact, Tran just needed to post his sign, tend the food and watch his business blossom.

Nest, however, required some weeding.

After buying the building last year, Tran remodeled the space and knocked down some walls before starting from the floor up. Soon, he was slapping on fresh paint and hauling in a massive Diedrich coffee roaster, behind which he’s often found nursing his roasts.

He’s wanted to open a coffee shop for some time, he said, inspired by both frequent suggestions from community members and his own affinities.

"I travel to places, and I always look for a coffee shop,” Tran said.

So a few years ago, he took a coffee roasting class out west, where he learned the process of analyzing flavors and reading flavor profiles.

Now, he buys beans from an importer in Hinesburg, storing them in bins to wait for their turn in the roaster. With the help of sensors that feed a computer program, he then tracks the progress and manipulates the heat to personalize each batch.

The process is like chemistry, he said, requiring a unique combination of weight and heat, much different than his usual taste-testing quality assurance when cooking. And though he’s still learning, Tran said he’s found some special ingredients.

“If you have the passion and the confidence, those are the two major components to learn and do things,” he said.

The journey has also required trust, a natural progression for any parent. After seven years of watching Firebird grow, he had to let go — at least for now — trusting his staff to carry on his labor of love.

It’s like the first day of school, he said, quelling the constant desire to be just a fly on the wall.

"There's fear, but you have to push it aside,” he said.

So far, it seems to have paid off. The community response has been thick with positive feedback, said 25-year-old Simone Mendes, an Essex Jct. resident and Nest barista.

Mendes noted customer feedback has helped Nest hone its offerings, and said the shop’s laidback atmosphere is just what the village needs.

media presence, which has sparked a slew of glowing Facebook comments and a dozen five-star reviews. She said she’s enjoying her time under Tran’s tutelage, reveling in his open leadership style.

“He’s more willing to let people underneath him flesh out [his] vision more with their ideas, too,” she said. “That collaborative effort makes it a really positive place to be, and I think people can sense that.”

Tran hopes to soon expand lunch options by baking fresh bread for “toasties,” or specialty grilled cheese sandwiches.

Meanwhile, Barbara Nedd, an experienced baker, can be seen churning out goods in the back most days.

On Saturday, most baked goods were devoured by late morning, some by the dozen customers who filled the shop, their conversation meshing with the aroma of roasting coffee. A foursome bellied up to the two long, old tree slabs in the middle of the room; a few others sat on the red couch near the tall front window.

Just three weeks in, Tran hopes Nest can become an integral part of the village’s growing connectivity. His belief even found its way into the name: In addition to furthering the avian theme, Nest represents Tran’s goal for its future.

“A nest has a family in it,” he said.

Even the shop’s decorations, though a seemingly eclectic mash, stand for something. A license plate collage spanning from Maine to Washington, Hawaii to Alaska decorates one wall while mirrors cover another.

It’s Tran’s way of bringing the outside world in, he said, a reflection of the past and representation of all that’s ahead. His personal touch literally covers the shop — a blown up fingerprint is framed on one wall — yet at the same time, Nest is influenced by all that surrounds it.

He said that’s what good business owners do: Find a hole and fill it.

Often speaking in metaphors, Tran employs yet another when sharing his vision for the future, or rather his lack thereof: Change is like a river, winding through streets and buildings.

It’s a force that, if given time, can carve through the tallest mountains, he said.

Tran’s goal is to stay fluid — to beat the river, he explains — by embracing change, with all its twists and turns.

“However the community evolves, this place will evolve with it,” he said.

GRAD from page 1 “You would come back home, and you see stuff,” she said. “You think, ‘Will my life be this, what my parents went through? My entire life, will I have to go through that again?’”

Meanwhile, her parents worked to secure immigration to the U.S., with the hope of providing a better life for their children. Their petition was eventually approved, sparking a long and rigorous process. One day, while her father anxiously awaited an interview that could determine the fate of their visa, it was Adhikari’s turn to advise.

"What are you nervous about?" she asked. "Just say the truth. Remember? You told me that."

"I will. But what if they don't believe me?" he said.

"Don't care about the what-ifs,” she said. “Just tell the truth."

Adhikari’s family ended up in Burlington, where she attended the tail end of her fifth-grade year. Understanding little English, Adhikari struggled to adapt.

“It was horrible,” she said. “I could understand what people were saying, I could process it, but they spoke so fast. Now I think about it, it's nothing, but back then, I literally felt like an alien.”

For nearly a year, she ordered the same lunch — peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, apple slices and orange juice — afraid to branch out because she didn’t understand the menu and feared eating anything containing beef, which is against her religion.

Schoolwork proved to be equally difficult; she could read the words, but didn’t comprehend their meaning. A steady stream of yellow slips indicated she often failed to fully complete assignments, despite believing she had.

Some nights, she’d lay in bed and cry, unable to shake the feeling of regret for leaving the camp. There, despite tough living condi-

Hari Adhikari Center of Technology, Essex senior tions, she could at least understand the world around her. She could chat with friends and connect. And perhaps more importantly, she could ask for help.

“Here, I couldn't even do that,” she said.

That summer, she was placed in an English Language Learners class, what she calls a turning point in her life. There, Adhikari learned how to carry on conversations and realized to get what she wanted from life meant she had to speak up.

Adhikari’s growth caught the attention of some of her teachers, like Eric Fisher, who said her maturity stood out among her classmates. Fisher said he was always impressed by her humility and how she

LocaL never failed to bring out the best in people.

“If Hari pulled you onto the floor, you'd dance in spite of yourself, without a thought to whether anyone was watching,” he said.

After three years in the U.S., Adhikari’s family moved to Essex the summer after middle school. This time, she was prepared for the change, and the jump to high school meant she was like everyone else: just another kid searching for familiarity in a foreign place.

Adhikari made friends, and her focus honed on academics. Her thoughts kept returning to her grandfather, who died from a stroke in the refugee camp, in part because they couldn’t afford healthcare.

“If you had that white coat the doctors have, you were considered kind of like a god,” she said. “You could save people. I couldn't save my grandfather, but I could save someone else’s.”

Adhikari is now patient care assistant, first aid and CPR certified thanks to her Center For Technology, Essex education. She’s learned about health insurance and the human body. And this fall, she plans to commute to the University of Vermont, with the hope of one day securing a career in the field of medicine.

Like most high school seniors, Adhikari has mixed feelings about graduation.

“I don't feel ready to be honest. I think I've been lying to myself — ‘I'm ready, I'm ready’ — but I'm gonna freak out when I get there,” she said, laughing.

Even as time gradually blurs memories from her childhood, Adhikari said she still thinks about that

She hopes to carry those memories with her, a reminder of how far she’s come and how far she plans to go.

“Someone else is going

through that same thing in some part of the world,” she said.

That’s why her high school graduation is simply an “appetizer for a bigger

meal,” she said. And somewhere, in a sea of proud families, her parents will look on as she takes the first big step in a lifelong journey.

“Great people to work with… and excellent installation, customer service and postinstallation support. We highly recommend Flooring America and would call on them again for future work.”

Trump’s budget a disaster for Vt.

By SEN. BERNIE SANDERS

P

resident Donald Trump's budget is morally obscene and bad economic policy.

It would cause devastating economic pain to tens of thousands of Vermonters making it harder for our children to get a decent education, harder for our working families to get the health care they desperately need, harder to protect our environment and harder for the elderly to live out their retirement years in dignity. Sadly, it follows in the footsteps of the Trump-Ryan health care bill, which gives massive tax breaks to the people on top while throwing 23 million Americans off of their health insurance and dramatically raising premiums for older workers.

This is a budget that says if you are the richest family in America, the Walton family of Wal-Mart, you can get a tax break of up to $52 billion through the repeal of the estate tax.

But, at the same time, it says if you are a lower income senior citizen in Vermont, you and 21,000 other Vermont families will not be able to keep your home warm in the winter because the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program would be abolished.

This is a budget that says if you are the second wealthiest family in America, the Koch brothers’ family, a family that has contributed many hundreds of millions into the Republican Party, you may get a tax break of up to $38 billion. But at the same time, if you are a working class student in Vermont trying to figure out how you could possibly afford college, your dream of a college education could disappear along with over 20,000 other Vermonters through the elimination of a number of student financial assis-

tance programs.

It is a budget that says if you are a member of the Trump family, you may receive a tax break of up to $4 billion, but if you are a child of a working class family in Vermont, you and 100,000 other Vermonters could lose the health insurance you currently have through massive cuts to the Children’s Health Insurance Program and Medicaid.

At a time when over 40 million Americans are struggling with hunger, the Trump budget would eliminate nutrition assistance to 2,800 pregnant

This is the Robin Hood principle in reverse. women, new moms, babies and toddlers in Vermont through a 23 percent cut to the Women, Infants and Children program. An additional 21,000 Vermonters would no longer receive the supplemental nutrition assistance they need to feed their families.

The Trump budget would cut off affordable housing assistance to more than 700 Vermont families, putting them at risk of eviction and homelessness. It would cut Head Start in Vermont by $1.7 million, which could throw 140 low-income children off high-quality childcare and early education. It would kick 7,100 students in Vermont off of after-school programs.

Meanwhile, at a time of massive wealth and income inequality, President Trump would provide a $3 trillion

tax break to the top 1 percent over a 10-year period. This is the Robin Hood principle in reverse – taking from the poor and working people and giving to the very rich.

When Donald Trump campaigned for president, he told the American people he would be a different type of Republican. That he would take on the political and economic establishment.

That he would stand up for working people. That he understood the pain that families all over this country were feeling.

Sadly, this budget exposes all of that verbiage for what it really was – just cheap campaign rhetoric that was meant to get votes – nothing more.

The budget President Trump has proposed would break virtually every promise he made to the working people of this country. During the campaign, candidate Trump promised not to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

But now that he is president, Donald Trump has proposed a budget and health care bill that would slash Medicaid by more than $1 trillion, raid the Medicare fund by more than $125 billion and make massive cuts to Social Security for people who have severe disabilities, children who have lost their parents and the poor.

The economic theory embraced by the Trump budget, trickle-down economics, is and has always been an abysmal failure and a fraud. This is a budget written by the billionaire class, designed to benefit the billionaire class. Nothing more. Nothing less.

President Trump’s budget must be soundly defeated and replaced with a budget that meets the needs of working families, the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor – not just the 1 percent.

First Church musicians 'make a joyful noise!'

By BETH VoLKER & REV. MARK MENDES

B

eautiful music has swelled the breeze for 150 years at the First Congregational Church of Essex Jct. our current history consists of seven musical groups: our Cherubs, ages 3 through kindergarten; Joyful Noise, grades 1 through 6; Men at First, our men’s a capella choir; Heavenly Harmony, This column is the sixth in a series our ladies’ provided by members of Essex's First choir; the CurCongregational Church to celebrate rier Hand Bell the parish's 150 years of service.

Choir, playing three octaves of bells; Finally at First, our praise band and the Sanctuary Choir, our adult choir. We are also very fortunate to have a wonderful organ and a magnificent grand piano to bring music into our lives.

In 1887, the gathered church paid our first organist, and more than likely, that person played a pump organ, an instrument where the player uses their feet to pump air through the pipes and plays at the same time. A pipe organ was purchased by the church membership in 1925 as a memorial to past members. In just two years, the $5,000 raised paid for the fine Vermont Estey organ and the associated remodeling of the choir loft. The organ was dedicated on Jan. 1, 1928. our current organ was installed in 1984 at a cost of $67,605, and has been upgraded several times since then.

In the early days of the church, hymns would have been lined with a music leader singing one verse and the congregation following. In 1930, the Men’s Parish League purchased hymnals for the church, and then did so again in 1951 with the help of the Dorcas Guild (a women’s charitable group) as well as the Ladies Social Union. The hymnals were replaced in 1965 by the Mudgett family, in memory of Edward William Mudgett and then again in 1990 by church members. our New Century Hymnals replaced male images of God and updated some of the old fashioned language. With our tendency to purchase new hymnbooks and through our many musical groups, First Church strives to offer a variety of music so that all sorts of music lovers can come and celebrate God’s gift of music.

In the early 1900s, minstrel shows were held in the parish hall. In 1968, the church performed the musical “Carousel” in the Hiawatha School gym. Today, in addition to the music made by our seven choirs and enjoyed on Sunday mornings, we strive to spread the gift of music to the community through talent shows and outside musical concerts, including the Georgia Boys Choir, Duelly Noted from Hamilton College, Joe’s Big Band, the onion River Band and Carolyn Bever and her violin students. We also share our musical talents with the community during the Memorial Day remembrances, the tree lighting ceremony and the Christmas concert at the Church of Latter Day Saints.

We are generally not strict literalists but do firmly believe that everyone should “make a joyful noise unto the Lord.”

Citizen scientists hit local waterways

By TOM MARBLE Nearly a month after the Winooski Natural Resources Conservation District put out a call for volunteers, the citizen scientist water sampling initiative got underway last Thursday.

The program kicked off with a training session at one of the Sunderland Brook sampling sites in Pearl Street Park. WNRCD resource conservation specialist Holly Kreiner led the group of 10 volunteers through the collection and drop-off process before the project’s June 4 start date.

Volunteers will test three Essex streams – Alder, Indian and Sunderland – and Sunnyside Brook in Colchester over the course of four months to determine if sodium chloride levels have risen since the tributaries were last tested by a now-defunct nonprofit in 2006.

“Road salt will continue to become a problem. It’s popping up in Chittenden County streams and exceeding standards,” Kreiner said. “Our goal is to go back and resample them and look at their condition today. The hope is that we’ll see somewhat of a change for the better.”

High sodium chloride levels reduce fish spawning, hurt sensitive species like trout and disrupt natural habitats, according to the WNRCD. Excessive levels can also contribute to toxic algae blooms that already plague Vermont waterways.

Sunnyside Brook is the only stream of the four currently classified as impaired by sodium chloride, Kreiner said, but others are getting close.

After a quick snack and some basic information about WNRCD’s goals, the group headed out on the five-minute walk from the parking area to the upper sampling site, marked by an orange flag.

The other seven sites are all within a couple minutes of a designated parking area, Kreiner said, and they are easily accessible, save for the lower site on Indian Brook that has a steep embankment. Although each volunteer was assigned to specific locations, all eight were marked on printed maps given to participants.

Each stream has an upper and lower testing site so the University of Vermont lab, where the samples will be tested, can assess the water composition before and after it moves through de-

RELAY from page 1 participants, Clark said the feedback was clear: Very few people stayed until the wee morning hours.

“If you’ve got 1,500 people there for opening ceremonies and 50 people there for closing, then it’s not the same experience for all participants,” Clark said. “We want the excitement to stay throughout the entire event.”

And while this year’s event will stretch until midnight, Clark noted no participant is required to stay for the full duration.

Attendees can even sign up the day of the event, provided they check in at the registration tent.

Samples will be tested courtesy of the LaRosa Program, a 2003 initiative directed by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation which alleviates laboratory analysis costs for watershed associations and monitoring groups.

“We expect to see, in almost all the situations, that the sodium chloride will be higher in lower sites, closer to the mouth of the stream,” Kreiner told the volunteers.

time,” Clark said. “This is just a day for the community to come together.”

This year, organizers have set the event fundraising goal at $265,000.

Participants can sign up for the Chittenden Relay as an individual or team and track their fundraising through the organization’s website. Cancer survivors and their caregivers are invited to receive special recognition, too.

A special survivor and caregiver BBQ will take place at 3 p.m. Before that, survivors will be asked to don bright purple shirts and medals and take a lap around the track, cheered on by their fellow participants.

The new timing provides a unique opportunity for the folks at Relay to spotlight sun safety, Clark said. Sunscreen and water will be available onsite, along with informa-

With the group positioned on a small wooden bridge next to the brook, Kreiner explained the sampling process starts with how to identify a run, or the proper place in a creek to collect the required 50-mL sample.

“In natural stream systems like this, natural ripples and pools will form,” Kreiner said. “The best place to sample is actually right between a pool and a ripple.”

If the water level tapers

off as the summer weather heats up, volunteers might have to resort to gathering their samples from deeper pools, she added.

Volunteers next triple rinse each bottle before filling it to no less than 50 mL and being careful not to touch the inside of the bottle or the cap, since any salt on skin could contaminate the sample, Kreiner said.

The state could disregard any data if the contamination error exceeds 10 to 15 percent.

tion about preventing and detecting skin cancer.

Clark said she hopes the earlier time would make it easier for teams to sell fundraising goods throughout this year’s event and allow organizers to play music without fear of violating the town’s noise ordinance.

There’s also the chance for more activities and games in between laps around the track. A detailed schedule shows at least one event per hour, including musical chairs, pillowcase races and an ’80s dance party.

The poignant luminaria ceremony will still be held after sunset, Clark said, giving participants the chance to see the illuminated white paper bags lining the track.

Each decorated bag is in honor or memory of someone with cancer.

Clark said that image was especially powerful last year after a freak thunder-

“You have to have the data to show trends and what we should be concerned about,” said Jeannine McCrumb, a former employee at the Agency of Natural Resources who attended the training. “People get to know other people and understand exactly what it is; they’re not just out grabbing a sample.”

At each site, volunteers also fill out a field sheet detailing the weather and water conditions during their sampling time. If the sample time or sampler label are incorrectly labeled, the state could refuse to verify the data.

In addition, the citizen scientists will be asked to evaluate the brooks’ flow at collection time by circling either base – steady, normal flow – or freshet, which is indicates the water is swelling or dropping after rainfall.

If the data shows more pollutants, it could be due to a recent rain event, Kreiner said.

Volunteers will collect samples every Sunday and Monday and deposit them, in a cooler, at the Williston U.S. Department of Agriculture office, where they obtain new bottles. Kreiner then takes the bottles to the lab for analysis.

storm drenched the paper bags. As the clouds cleared, attendees worked with determination to relight each of the extinguished flames.

And while she’s is crossing her fingers for clear skies this year, Clark said she’s certain the time change won’t dampen the powerful energy coursing through the Expo next week.

“I don’t care if you’re walking at 2 o’clock in the morning for me or if you’re walking at 1 o’clock in the afternoon for me,” Clark said. “You’re walking for me.

And that’s the piece that matters.”

School

essex HigH scHool Unified Sports: on May 25, 14 athletes and 14 partners from Essex High School participated in the annual Special Olympics Unified Sports Bocce Tournament in St. Albans. Of the 10 teams from EHS, four took home gold medals while another three took home bronze. It was a great display of teamwork and camaraderie, and a fun day for all who participated.

Scholars’ Bowl: The EHS Scholars’ Bowl team traveled to Atlanta last Friday to compete in the High School National Academic Quiz National Tournament, where 308 teams competed from all over the country. Essex played teams from California, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Florida and Georgia in 10 matches, winning just three but putting up impressive scoring numbers that normally would have warranted a better record. On Sunday, in a consolation tournament, Essex won all three of its matches and its bracket to bring its overall record to 6-7 in what one could only call a highly talented group of 1,200 competitors.

The team was made up of juniors Nick Norton (captain), Alex He and Sam Feehan, sophomore Grace Lu and freshmen Henry and Nathan Wu. The team is coached by David Rome and assisted this year by Kiran MacCormick. Scholars’ Bowl is a schoolyear-long activity in which teams of four students play against other schools from around Vermont, the northeast and the country. The questions come from all the major disciplines in school, as well as some pop culture, sports and current events.

Career Center News: On April 20, the EHS/CTE Career Center provided an opportunity for students to fill out applications for summer job offerings. Many students attended the event and continue to visit the Career Center to research summer career opportunities. If community members still need summer help, they should contact Pam Hemingway at phemingway@ccsuvt.org.

May was a busy month in the Career Center at Essex High School. We had our last two Career Talks, which focused around careers in the military, including non-combat opportunities. On May 24, EHS and CTE had their rescheduled Bi-Annual Community Service Fair. Students were able to sign up for volunteer opportunities at 20 organizations. A huge thank-you to the organizations that were represented. Community service is a great addition to student resumes. Feel free to contact Pam Hemingway if you have any questions about community service opportunities. Our internship students are currently finishing up their incredible experiences. The community internship students will showcase their work on Thursday, June 8 and the STEM internship students’ event will be held on Wednesday, June 14. Thank you to the greater Essex community for all your support this year.

Summer at the EHS/CTE library: The EHS/CTE library will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. beginning June 20 through August 22. We have a comfortable, air-conditioned environment perfect for reading and completing activities to help you escape the summer heat and humidity.

Stop by to check out books, play board games, create in the Makerspace, play Magic the Gathering and draw or color. Please note the library will be closed for cleaning July 3-7 and July 10-14.

Semester two final exams: June 13: A1-2 and B1-2 June 14: A3-4 and B3-4 June 15: A5-6 and B5-6 June 16: A7-8 and B7-8 (all A day exams are 8-10 a.m. and all B day exams are 10:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m.)

cTe End-of-year excitement in Design & Creative Media: Every year Design & Creative Media partners with the EHS/CTE Media Center to give new life to old books in its collection. During March and April, first-year students were challenged to redesign an outdated book cover, working with library staff as a client and learning how to become young professionals. After all the work is finally complete, we invite the entire school community to vote on a favorite jacket and celebrate the students' achievements with us at our Bookjacket Reception over sparkling grape juice and good conversation. This year, the winning design was “24 Girls in 7 Days,” designed by EHS junior Charlotte Frivoll. Second place went to CHS junior Dresden Sendra for his design for “The Sin Eater’s Confession,” and honorable mention went to CVU senior Kadie Aude for the design of “A Time for Miracles.”

EHS senior Jason Trahan received the Designer’s Award for his design of “In the Break.”

Students wrapped up the bookjacket rebrand unit just in time to dive into our final portfolio unit. Here in Design & Creative Media, the entire month of May is

dedicated to preparing students’ final portfolios – a collection of revised student work that not only functions as their final exam, but also leaves students with a professional-grade portfolio they can then take right into the workforce.

The final exam consists of two parts: A website which displays eight of the students’ best pieces and functions as their professional portfolio moving forward; and a portfolio presentation to a panel of representatives from career and technical education, postsecondary education and the professional design community. Additionally, second-year students develop a capstone project designing across multiple platforms for a brand of their own creation. Rich and diverse, the portfolio process affords all students the opportunity to reflect upon their learning throughout the year by revising and refining best works. Having third-party assessors from post-secondary and industry deepens the significance as students get feedback from professionals in their field. All in all, it is a triumphant culmination of all that students have learned during their time in DCM.

It was an incredible learning experience for both of us; I got the chance to improve my fluency, and he got to experience what it’s like to live in Vermont. And the best part: This April I was able to go to Japan and experience the whole thing again, except the other way around.

For about nine years, students from Vermont and Tottori (a Japanese prefecture) have participated in cultural exchange in this manner.

The repeated exchange between Vermont and Tottori has been going on since 2008, through an agreement between former Gov. Jim Douglas and Tottori’s Gov. Hirai.

I had the pleasure of meeting the governor on the trip when he officially welcomed us to his prefecture. I was asked to make a speech representing the group. While it was nerve-wracking, what with the mix of government officials and media personnel in attendance, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I felt a significant increase in

self-confidence in regard to speaking Japanese, which enabled me to better connect with the students we met at the various schools we visited in Tottori.

In addition to gubernatorial meetings and school visits, a big part of the trip is staying with a Japanese host family. The people of Tottori are welcoming and generous and were as excited to be hosting us as we were to be in Japan. Tottori and Vermont are similar in that they are both fairly small and are mostly rural, which gave the farmlands and quiet suburbs of Tottori a sense of familiarity. This, too, strengthened the connection we all were able to make with our host families and showed in sharp relief how people on opposite sides of the world aren’t really so different.

Now that I’m back in Vermont, I’m headed to UVM, where I plan to continue to study Japanese, taking the language and cultural experience I had this April with me. I will keep my eyes open for Japanese exchange programs while I’m studying there, or even participate in future TottoriVermont trips as a chaperone. This exchange will forever stand in my memory as an important experience to me. I strongly encourage any student who has any interest in Japanese language or culture to get involved.

MOREAU from page 1 Moreau by his sarcastic playfulness, but by his “magnificent baritone voice,” as former principal Stanley Knapp described it.

“He’s a blue ribbon educator, no question about it,” Knapp said.

“And a blue ribbon human being.

I can’t say enough good things about him.”

“There's no doubt ... my eyes teared up.”

Gary Moreau

ADL music teacher Knapp, who hired Moreau and worked with him for 10 years, said he was instantly impressed with Moreau’s likeable personality and versatility.

In addition to putting on countless concerts, Moreau directed many groups, served on numerous education boards and headed the school’s Memorial Day presentations. He plans to continue with the latter two in the coming years,

local

he said.

While his teaching days are limited, Moreau’s voice will continue to sing around town. An Essex resident, he performs in the St. Lawrence Church choir, plays the organ at Holy Family Church and sings solos at concerts, weddings and funerals in the community and beyond.

In the summer months, Moreau can normally be found on a lawn mower behind the school, working for the district’s maintenance department. He’ll keep his seat there this summer and into the fall, wanting to keep busy for the next few years before officially considering retirement all together, he said.

The concept isn’t new to him, though: At the grocery store, he’ll often run into people who joke, “You ever gonna retire, Gary?”

He finally decided to this past February. ADL’s family and consumer science teacher and Moreau’s good friend Terry Potvin’s fall retirement announcement influenced him a bit, he said.

He’ll most miss the fun he has with his students. Some days are tough, he confessed, but they are in middle school after all.

When his choral kids show up first thing in the morning, they’re excited to sing. It settles and prepares them to take on the rest of the day, he said, including some of the newer testing and standards

POTVIN from page 1 behind her.

Faculty help each other through the roughest of times both in and outside the classroom, she said. They watch one another’s children grow from young-ins to young adults and then to grown-ups.

Teaching middle-schoolers allowed Potvin to joke and be goofy, she said with a laugh, while helping them through an awkward stage in life. To her luck, she sees each of the 320-or-so ADL students for 12 weeks every year.

Sixth-graders tackle making mini pizzas and quesadillas while seventh-graders bake homemade bread whilst learning the ins and outs of food science. They also make soups for the annual Empty Bowls Project, which benefits the food shelf.

Once in eighth grade, students undergo cultural cuisine tasting and a local foods cooking unit with recipes for roasted radishes, beet cake and the latest: kale applesauce cake.

The most-senior students also run a “rewarding” in-school restaurant, Potvin said, where they apply and interview for jobs, meanwhile putting their cooking skills to use for other students and faculty to enjoy, Potvin said.

Feeling “it was time,” Potvin made her decision to retire last fall. Her position was posted for hire, she said, but it didn’t attract much interest. Her alma mater, the University of Vermont, dismantled its home economics program years ago as the discipline began to fizzle.

Due to lack of interest, her classroom will be home to a science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, or STEAM, program next year.

“What I’ll miss the most, probably, is the kids being excited about things that we’re doing,” she said.

Whether it’s a kid yelling to her in the parking lot after a lesson on fabrics –“Mrs. Potvin, I’m wearing linen today!” – or a story of them cooking a studied recipe at home or their excitement about the 10 raised beds behind the school, she’s going to miss watching their faces light up, she said.

Albert D. Lawton Intermediate School music teacher Gary Moreau performs with students at his last concert late last month. he’s not as fond of.

If Moreau could stay in his classroom all day and do nothing but sing with his students, he’d remain there forever he said.

But a local young woman will take his place, he said, and he’s looking forward to sharing some tricks of the trade.

At ADL, sixth-graders learn to read music and seventh-graders develop an appreciation of the craft and world cultures, he said, leaving composition and beginner guitar for eighth-graders.

Like many fine arts courses, he’s also seen the program through financial struggles. For the most part, though, he said he’s

felt immense support from the Essex Jct. community for continuing music education.

Even though Moreau was warned against it, living in town allows him to support the community and its children. Music itself is supportive, too, and reigns as a universal language, he said.

“It allows me to go some place different than where I am,” he said. “The reality of your life changes completely.”

For him, it’s also emotional.

At his last concert, “there’s no doubt … my eyes teared up,” he said.

“This is what my life has been about, and I [sing] for the reasons that the song suggested: Soothe a soul, mend a heart, tear down bridges, tear down walls,” Moreau said. “Music can do all of those things.”

“It's just been the best place I could ever be.”

Terry Potvin

ADL family and consumer science teacher Potvin thinks future students will be at a loss without cooking and nutrition lessons.

These skills follow kids into their adult lives, she said.

Her former students agree. As a middle school boy back in the early 1990s, all Jaren Naef wanted to do was play sports. Sewing and cooking weren’t high on his priority list, he joked.

When he went off to college, though, the 1993 ADL graduate said he could crack an egg and cook meals for himself.

Now a father of two young girls, he attributed his ability to sew a button onto their dresses to his all-time favorite teacher, Mrs. Francis.

“She helped me through a lot of hard times,” he said. “[Middle school] is a hard age.”

The dissipation of the program, he said, “is a shame.”

Another former student, Ali Gallant, said Potvin provided her endless support and courage, which traveled with her through college and to her first home in the form a Beanie Baby that Potvin gifted her at eighth-grade graduation.

Looking back on class assignments over the years, Potvin said she’s had pajama pants passed down along generations, over

100 pillowcases donated to Conquer Cancer and dozens of blankets brought to Project Linus.

The latter two projects that benefited the community were some of her most valuable feats, she said, and they inspired Potvin to earn a masters degree in education with a focus on service learning — an accolade she earned in the last 10 years.

Potvin was also involved in countless projects and clubs throughout her tenure at ADL, including the annual basketball tournament, wellness and health team and the teacher mentor, peer leadership and Fuel Up to Play 60 programs.

Most of the colleagues she started with are now gone, she said, but Potvin is retiring alongside 41-year music teacher and good friend Gary Moreau.

Potvin said she’s looking forward to spending time with her three, soon to be four, granddaughters. She plans to garden and possibly find her niche in a crafts or garden store or teach sewing classes for the local recreation department.

Whatever she decides, she’s happy that her daughter, an EHS math teacher who also grew up with ADL as her second home, will carry on her legacy in the district.

FOR LEASE

Jerry

Take my hand and sing with me.

Soothe a soul, sing with me.

Soothe a soul, mend a heart, bring together lives that have been torn apart.

Share the joy.

One of her favorite experiences, she added, is when her sixth-graders begin cooking for the first time.

“They sit by the stove and watch it like it’s a TV,” she said with a smile.

“Of all the things that we’re gonna lose with this program being gone, I think nutrition and cooking are the two things that are breaking my heart,” she continued.

Although our time together will not soon be forgotten, It will not be the same without you here at Lawton.

By JOE GONILLO June means playoffs, state championships, banquets, hopefully warmer weather and possibly some new high school coaching hires. One more thing: The end of school is approaching. Last day of high school classes is Monday. Exams begin Tuesday. Check the EHS athletic website for Hornet schedules this week.

The track and field team competed in states Saturday with the girls third (96.5 points) and the boys tied for fifth (44 points).

St. J swept the titles for the first time in program history. A tad damp in Burlington, but Pavel Dvorak and crew ran a smooth-as-silk meet. MMU, BHS and CVU went second, third and fourth in the boys’ meet while CVU edged the Hornets for second by just 2 points. Senior Katie James made her final Vt. race a huge success. James not only won the 400m as the VT Division-I state Champion — teammate Lizzy Martel ran her personal record 60.16 for second — but also smashed through the 60 second time barrier to sprint to her best time of 59.42. A fitting way to end her career. Other Hornets making the awards stand include: Second: Sade Hankey (triple jump, high jump) Jamaal Hankey (300mIH), Breyer Sinor (discus), Martell (400m) and girls 4x800m relay Third: Chike Asanya (100m), Peter Alden (3k), AnneMarie Martel (1500m), Emma Farrington (3k), boys 4x800m relay, Michael Baker (pole vault) and Hannah Neddo (high jump) Many Hornets are off to New England Championships in Norwell, Mass. this weekend. Thanks in advance to Boosters who may be helping defray some traveling costs to these worthy student athletes. May have missed Ryan Guerino’s name in long jump last week for this meet. Apologies.

The baseball team (16-2) racked up wins in their playdown and quarterfinal playoff games last week running their winning streak to seven games. The Hornets dispatched North Country 13-0 in a blowout then ended No. 8 BFA’s season with a 5-1 win. Abe Koval was in complete control on the mound in the win over the Bobwhites.

They moved on to the semis Tuesday vs.

Hartford.

The softball team pushed their winning

sports

streak to eight games as they crushed St. J in the opening round of playoffs 18-3. Their quarterfinal game was a bit closer — a 2-1 ninth-inning win over No. 5 Middlebury. Offense, defense, pitching and speed got them to the semis where they played the No. 8 BFA-No. 1 MVU winner Tuesday.

The boys lacrosse team ended the spring with a 12-2 loss to No. 7 Middlebury.

The Hornets played with heart all season and again in this game.

The girls lacrosse team saw their season come to a halt after a 16-8 loss to No. 6 CVU last week. In an interesting twist, Essex hosted the game in their away unis even though they were the lower seed. The Red Hawks’ field was underwater and unplayable.

The boys tennis team defeated St. J 5-2 and advanced to the quarters vs. Colchester on Monday.

The No. 10 girls tennis team upset No. 7 CHS 4-3 then pushed No. 2 MAU to the limit before dropping a 4-3 match down in Bennington. Great showing.

The golf team placed third in sectionals in Manchester qualifying for states in the process. Their state tournament is Wednesday. Here are the tee times: 8:48 a.m. – Brody Yates; 8:57 a.m. – Adam Ely; 9:06 a.m. – Ben LaPlant; 9:24 a.m. – Brennan Moreau; and 9:42 a.m. – Jordan Calhoun.

The girls finals were played Tuesday, weather permitting, in Newport. Last week the Hornets were second at Lang Farm: Sara Manley 40, Olivia Chan 50 and Kate Connolly 50.

Ultimate Frisbee beat SB 15-11, but no scores at press time for weekend tourney.

Steve “Doc” Roberts, Tom Bochanski and Superintendent Judy DeNova highlight the lucky and worthy 2017 retirees. Congrats and good luck! Give you a clue: You will love retirement!

Subbed in PE at ADL last week and had one class swim at MSP. Brought back memories. Love the slide. Had our annual SHP meeting Sunday for LG's and WSI. Bill O'Neil is the most knowledgeable Red Cross LG/CPR reterifier I have ever met. That organization should hire him to oversee their instructors and recertifies. Doubt they will though. Working on pool spruce and cleanup this week for Essex Town Schools’ pool field trips next week. Opening day is Saturday, June 17 at noon.

FOOD

How college students can eat healthy If asked to reflect on their college years, many graduates likely would not recall healthy eating habits.

College students are often pressed for time and short on funds, so a nutritious diet is often sacrificed for the sake of convenience and cost.

But a healthy diet can help college students handle the stresses of college life more effectively. The following are a handful of easy ways college students can improve their diets' nutritional value without breaking the bank.

1

ing at the mercy of vending machines, bring healthy snacks along during study sessions. Fresh fruit, raw vegetables, Greek yogurt, and whole wheat crackers are just a few snacks that pack a more nutritious punch than traditional vending machine fare.

Healthy snacks also tend to provide more energy, making it easier to endure late-night study sessions.

3

Make pizza healthier. Pizza is a staple of many college students' diets, so it's likely unrealistic for them to quit pizza cold turkey, especially since there are ways to make pizza healthier. When ordering a pizza, college students can request their pizza be prepared with whole wheat dough, which is healthier than traditional pizza dough. In addition, ask for less cheese and more tomato sauce. Such alterations are simple and healthy without sacrificing taste.

Eat breakfast. College students tend to stay up late and sleep in, but sleeping in at the expense of a healthy breakfast can impact performance in the classroom and make students more likely to overeat later in the day. A bowl of cereal with some fresh fruit is not an especially expensive breakfast, but it can help college students start their day off on an energetic and healthy note.

2

Snack healthy. Many students find snacks are an integral part of hours-long study sessions. But trips to the vending machine for candy bars or potato chips won't add much nutritional value to your diet. Instead of be-

4

Scale back on sugar. Sugar can cause weight gain without providing much in the way of nutrition. College students can cut back on their sugar

intake by avoiding sugary beverages, including soda and drinks like sweetened iced tea or lemonade.

College is also when many young men and women first start drinking coffee, which some people prefer to take with sugar. But students looking to keep weight off and reduce their sugar intake can choose to drink their coffee black or with just light cream or fat-free milk to ensure their morning cup of joe is not contributing to a bigger waistline.

5

Drink more water. The symptoms of dehydration mimic those of hunger, and college students might turn to snacks when all they really need is a glass of water. If you find yourself snacking shortly after eating a meal, then you might just need to drink more water.

Pet of the Week BUNNIES!

4-5 Month Old Males & Females

A great team and a brand new state of the art kitchen ...

Reason here: There were too rabbits in our previous home Meet the bunnies of HSCC! These little fluff balls love to lounge around on their fleece blankets and munch the day away with some hay! Rabbits make wonderful indoor pets. They are full of personality and can be quite affectionate. They are meticulously clean and are easy to house break and train. Similar to dogs, a pet rabbit can be taught to come to his/her name, sit in your Francine lap, and do simple tricks. Excited rabbits display a cute behavior known as a “binky”, they jump up in the air and twist and spin around! If you have the time and heart for one or two of these sweet buns, come and meet them today! We have always lived with our siblings and may do well with another rabbit in our new home.
