Stabbing suspect faces murder charge

By MICHAELA HALNON

J

acob St. Amour, 20, of Williston pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder charges in Chittenden Superior Court on Tuesday after prosecutors said he stabbed a man at the Champlain Valley Fair late Sunday night.

Police say 22-year old Ryan Durkin of South Burlington was fatally wounded just after 11 p.m. on Sun-

day and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

An autopsy detailed in the affidavit showed Durkin suffered a single stab wound to the torso.

The courtroom was full as St. Amour appeared before Judge James Crucitti. Family and friends of the victim were emotional as they waited for the arraignment to start.

St. Amour’s friends appeared to record the proceeding on cell phones,

shouting their support as he was escorted out.

The judge ordered St. Amour held without bail.

St. Amour was arrested just after 11 a.m. on Monday near Best See STABBING, page 11 Right: Jacob St. Amour appeared in court Tuesday where he pleaded not guilty to second degree murder. Police say St. Amour fatally stabbed 22-year-old Ryan Durkin at the Champlain Valley Fair last Sunday night.

PAC aims to halt rec district

fair-well to summer

"The 10 Best Days of Summer" came to a close last Sunday evening when the Champlain Valley Fair wrapped up its seasonal run at the Expo.

From August 26 to September 4, fairgoers enjoyed rides, concessions, concerts, demonstrations, animals and more.

A political action committee was formed to combat the recreation governance study committee’s proposal to create a union municipal district for the Essex town and village recreation departments, the latest step in a brewing controversy over the merger.

According to its website, PlanBforEssex.org, the PAC was formed by residents to help voters “parse the issues behind the Dec. 13 ballot.” The PAC says it’s dismayed by the RGSC’s proposal and offers an alternative: con-

solidate both departments under the town government.

Much of the PAC’s rhetoric mimics that of selectboard member Irene Wrenner, who’s been extremely vocal in her criticism of the plan.

In an interview Friday morning, Wrenner confirmed she’s part of the PAC. Neither hers nor any other PAC members’ names are published on the website, and Wrenner made clear she’s acting as a resident, and the selectboard is not involved.

She also confirmed See PAC, page 4

Town pursues lawsuit against building owner

By COLIN FLANDERS The selectboard voted to pursue a lawsuit against a building owner whose six-unit apartment complex at 96 Pearl St. has been overrun with cockroaches.

The decision came during the board’s Aug. 29 meeting, a week after town health officer Jerry Firkey issued an emergency order to one of the building’s tenants.

Tenant Stacy Davis and building owner Robert Shea, who purchased the

building last December, had five business days to appeal the decision. Neither did.

Acting as the board of health, the selectboard also upheld Firkey’s emergency health orders instructing Shea to contract a pest control company to fumigate the building. Additionally, Davis must remove anything that might serve as food or breeding ground for the cockroaches.

The orders remain until the board votes to See BUILDING, page 2

Essex women take to the stage

By MICHAELA HALNON

R

obin Owens, 57, can count the number of plays she’s worked on using one hand. Fifty-fiveyear-old Carole Vasta Folley can barely keep track of her credits.

But when the Essex women perform Vasta Folley’s newest show “Seymour Sisters,” they say they enter an alternate world together.

The two-person play follows a pair estranged sisters, thrown together to sort through their deceased parents’ belongings.

The set is purposely minimal, Vasta Folley said – only cardboard boxes contain the characters.

“As they open the boxes, so, too, [they open] their past,” Owens explained.

The meeting is orchestrated by Vasta Folley’s character, Cecile, in a thinly veiled attempt to reconnect with her sister. Eleanor, played by Owens, is the practical eldest with little interest in reminiscing.

“Seymour Sisters” is the first drama for Vasta Folley, a playwright, director, producer and ac-

tress extraordinaire who typically writes comedies. She began writing early last year after she was awarded the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts Vermont Artist’s Space grant.

Vasta Folley, who also works as the assistant editor for South Burlington’s The Other Paper, has overseen the show from script to stage.

The result, she said, is her most intimate work to date.

“I feel like I’ve grown up as a playwright,” she said.

But being so close to the play has made editing a challenge. Sometimes, only spatial constraints could push Vasta Folley to cut beloved scenes – only so many boxes of props could fit in her brother-turned-roadie’s truck.

“Every time she would add a box, I would say, ‘Really? Do we need this?’”

Owens said.

The script is a fictional work but contains several emotional truths, Vasta Folley said. Many people her age lose their parents, she noted, and face the daunting prospect of going through their belongings.

Vasta Folley also has sisters and said she drew upon personal experience to create some of the sillier moments.

When Owens began to explain she’d grown up without sisters, Vasta Folley cut in.

“You have a sister now,” she said.

Owens worked as an air traffic controller for 25 years, keeping her acting aspirations to herself. Since auditioning for a Vasta Folley play just a few years ago, she hasn’t looked back.

“I have wanted to do this forever,” Owens said. “[But] I always knew my fifties would be when I figured things out.”

A sibling-like rapport and admiration is evident in the back and forth between the women. They were friends before, Vasta Folley said, but now have

an even deeper connection.

“I probably drive her crazy at times,” she said.

“That goes both ways,” Owens shot back, laughing.

The duo has taken their show on the road to Bradford, Springfield, Stowe and Waitsfield. Turnout has been fair, Owens said, averaging around 60 audience members per show.

The final stop in Burlington is not funded through the grant, but both women said they wanted to say goodbye to their play in Chittenden County.

“It’s gone from head to heart,” Vasta Folley said. “We’re at a place where we know it in a much different way [than when we started].”

Vasta Folley already has a new play ready to go, but said thinking about bidding farewell to “Seymour Sisters” is still a tough concept to accept.

“I’m going to miss these women, these characters very much,” Vasta Folley said with tears in her eyes. “Even though they’re messy, they weren’t always right, you can feel the warmth and you care about them.”

“The Seymour Sisters” plays at Main Street Landing’s Black Box Theater in Burlington Thursday, Sept. 8 – Sunday, Sept. 11. Tickets are available at flynntix.org. Contains some mature themes.

terminate them.

Firkey said the apartment has been on his radar since April, when he received multiple complaints regarding a foul odor, trash and cockroaches on the property.

During his initial inspection of Davis’ unit, Firkey found “countless garbage bags being used for decaying food products and other items of unknown origin, used toilet paper on the floor and in closets as well as spilled and decaying food products on the floors,” according to his memo to the selectboard.

He also observed cockroaches and other bugs crawling around the floors, counters, walls and inside of boxes and garbage bags.

“They’re all over … it’s deplorable,” Firkey said at last week’s meeting.

Firkey said he and deputy health officer Sharon Kelley wore masks when entering Davis’ unit.

Firkey returned to inspect units 3 and 4, where he found evidence of significant cockroach infestations. He said he’s concerned for the health of the building’s occupants.

to obtain a tack order, allowing the sheriff to leave the notice on her door, he said.

Shea said he’s also filed for an eviction, citing the condition of the unit, but Davis remains. He’s is now awaiting a courtordered writ of possession. This will give Davis 10 business days to leave before the sheriff can forcibly remove her from the premises.

“At this point, what do you want me to do?” Shea asked the selectboard.

Kelley empathized with Shea’s struggle but urged the selectboard to vote in favor of preparing litigation to keep the process moving forward.

“From the conditions Jerry and I saw from the entire building, something needs to happen,” she said. “If that is a civil case, then so be it.”

No hearing date was set in Shea’s eviction action as of August 31, town attorney Andrew Bolduc wrote in an email. In light of this, he expected to file the lawsuit soon.

Shea said the situation has caused him an “unbelievable” amount of frustration.

"I'd rather live outside than live in that apartment," he said.

thing, and we need to do something now,” he said, adding one of the building's tenants has a newborn baby.

The couple is leaving

by September 10, Shea said. Another of his tenants had to leave by the start of this month after losing their housing voucher, and the basement unit is already empty, he said.

Shea plans to renovate the entire building and has no problem fumigating each unit.

“But I can’t do anything ‘til [Davis] goes,” he said.

Shea said Firkey’s assessment “is absolutely true,” but any attempt to get into Davis’ apartment has been “futile.”

Shea said when he attempted to remove the garbage bags in her unit, she claimed it was her personal property.

“At that point, legally, I have no right to take the stuff,” he said.

Shea said Davis has lived in the apartment for about 10 years, and the process to evict her is well underway.

He first filed a nocause eviction, allotting Davis 90 days to leave.

She refused entry to the sheriff six times, forcing Shea to head back to court

Exercise in disguise

LOCAL

Beloved Essex Zumba instructor retires

By MICHAELA HALNON

T

here was laughter, sweat and more than a few tears at the HammerFit Athletic Club in Essex Jct. last Sunday morning.

More than 50 students came out to say farewell to popular Zumba instructor and Essex resident Kate BarashEngel, who is trading in her workout shoes for scrubs after starting work as a registered nurse at the University of Vermont Medical Center.

Posters with well wishes covered the studio wall, and several students wore T-shirts decorated with messages to BarashEngel.

“I just started to grow this really wonderful community,” Barash-Engel said. “Well, it grew around me.”

A dancer for most of her young adult life, Barash-Engel originally turned her nose up at group fitness classes. But after attending one Zumba class with a friend in 2010, she was hooked.

“I just fell in love with it,” she said. “I signed up that night for a training to [become] an instructor.”

Barash-Engel said she loved the music and energy, but was also drawn by the opportunity to volunteer.

“I did every fundraiser I could get my hands on,” she said.

She’s donated her expertise to a host of charities, including the Girls and Boys Club, Girls on the Run, Lund Family Center, Committee on Temporary Shelter and local prisons.

Even the proceeds from Barash-Engel’s final class were donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to honor her mother Phoebe Barash, a cancer survivor.

Barash lives in Bristol, making frequent visits to her daughter’s classes a bit of challenge. But on Sunday, she watched Barash-Engel lead the group with a smile. “[Zumba] came at a great time in her life,” Barash said. “[But] it’s time for her to move on. People are sad, but it’s time.”

Barash-Engel said becoming a Zumba instructor helped pull her out of a dark hole. She struggled with numerous addictions for close to 10 years, engaging in what she calls extreme selfhatred.

“I got my [Zumba] license a couple of years out from that,” she said. “I’ve grown into the person that I’m supposed to be while doing this really cool thing.”

And many of Barash-Engel’s students say they’ve grown, too.

Andrea Taylor of Essex started working out with Barash-Engel less than two years ago, weighing over 200 pounds. She said BarashEngel brought a light into her life that she couldn’t find before.

“Being with her was the only hour of happiness sometimes,” Taylor said. “She has so much strength, and I think part of that is that she’s been through it.”

Barash-Engel said she plans to keep her Zumba license and act as a substitute periodically.

But HammerFit manager Alicia McCurley thinks her presence will still be missed, saying she believes Barash-Engel is one of the best instructors the gym has ever seen.

“It will be tricky to fill those shoes,” McCurley said.

Another student, Karen Dolan, said she’s more than a little sad to see Barash-Engel go. Still, she’ll keep coming to Zumba classes with the hope of continuing on the legacy.

“She gave us this,” Dolan said. “It’s our job to carry it.”

from page 1 John Sheppard, who’s attended a handful of meetings to speak out against the plan, is a PAC member.

Wrenner’s dissent has already stirred emotions

among both residents and her fellow board members.

During a selectboard meeting last month, she was heavily criticized for her actions at Essex Middle School during the August primary, during which she handed out fliers and condoms speaking out against the “STD,” or

special taxing district, the committee is proposing.

There’s no contact information on the website besides the email address info@planbforessex.org.

Wrenner pointed to last month’s backlash as motivation for this.

“I would rather be transparent, but if people

want to not see my name, then we will not see my name or anybody else’s," Wrenner said.

The website creator took additional steps to ensure the members’ identities wouldn’t be public. A public database of domain registrations showed PlanBforEssex.org is registered to a company called Perfect Privacy LLC, which shields website creators’ personal information by replacing it with its own.

The company recently made national headlines after multiple outlets reported presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private email server changed its domain registration to Perfect Privacy in 2014 after she stepped down as secretary of state.

The PAC goes beyond offering an alternative, however, by claiming the decision was inevitable, the result of “successful coercion.”

It asserts a committee member who didn’t initially support the union municipal option was told the June 1 meeting – when the committee voted on its final decision – wouldn’t adjourn until a consensus was reached.

“To some, that would appear to be a bullying tactic,” the website reads.

Study committee chairman Michael Smith said while the goal was to reach consensus, no one was pressured to change their opinion.

“I wouldn’t have kept the meeting going all night long to reach consensus,” he said. Opinions were changed through “open”

and “meaningful” discussion, he added.

The PAC also calls into question how the study committee was formed.

The selectboard, village trustees and prudential committee, the latter which currently oversees Essex Jct. Parks and Recreation, voted to form the committee on February 16 during a special meeting.

The PAC accuses EJRP director Brad Luck of withholding information during that meeting, including the existence of statute authorizing the committee to make a decision without approval from the three boards.

In doing so, the PAC argues, Luck planted the seed for a union municipal district knowing it would “determine his future job prospects.”

According to the recreation’s district’s agreement, the new governing board will appoint an executive director of parks and recreation and set the position’s salary and benefits.

“RGSC capably played the hand they were given, but all were playing with a stacked deck,” the website reads.

Reached Friday afternoon, Luck said he’s aware of the PAC and its claims but declined to respond to the allegations, saying he’s “not willing to contribute to any public discourse that isn’t about the issue that’s being discussed.

“All of our efforts should be on having a positive public discussion about the future of recreation in Essex Jct.,” he continued.

Smith said the committee doesn’t believe Luck influenced its decision in any way, and said a new elected board would vet Luck and any other candidates for the position.

“In the end, this committee will have no influence on Brad’s employment,” Smith said.

In fact, if Luck were trying to influence his future employment, the status quo would make most sense, Smith said.

Wrenner believes the coercion extends beyond Luck, however, declaring there’s more “power and money at stake” than when the municipalities’ finance and highway departments merged.

“We have to look really deep to say what is the problem merging under town hall … who stands to lose?” she said.

Dozens of people are involved now in the PAC, and more join by the day, she added.

The website asks people to get in touch who have “hours or dollars” to donate. The donation link is not live yet.

Any PAC that raises $1,000 or spends $1,000 within any two-year general election cycle must register and file all regularly required disclosure report with the secretary of state.

Wrenner said the PAC set up a bank account “so we have a paper trail.” The PAC hasn’t hit $1,000 yet, she added.

She expects the funds to be used to launch a campaign against the proposal, including fliers and maintaining the website.

opinion & community letters to the editor Four and no more I would like to take this opportunity to share with the village a very important subject the trustees will be voting on at their next meeting on September 13. The question is how tall we want the buildings in the village center and/or the entire village to be.

Now that we have had a chance to absorb the impact of the new building at Five Corners, I would like to say four stories is enough. As village center properties are redeveloped, the planning commission would like the ability to waive that to go as high as six stories.

A six-story building on the corner at Road Res-Q? Sixstory buildings all along the Crescent Connector? A sixstory building where Pho Dang is or next to Park Street School? All possible.

When I think of my village, buildings like the village offices or Lincoln Inn or the Martone block come to mind, not the VSAC or CCV buildings.

If you agree, please take a moment to email the village trustees: gtyler@essexjunction.org, esopchak@essexjunction.org, dkerin@essexjunction.org, lhoughton@ essexjunction.org or abrown@essexjunction.org. Even better, come to the next meeting and make your voice heard.

The land development code is the law as far as what is allowed or not allowed in our village. When the planning commission can issue waivers, then our voices at meetings mean nothing. Four and no more!

I am a village trustee and a member of the Recreation Governance Study Committee. I am speaking as a resident of Essex and not as a member of either of these groups. Over the past 14 years, I’ve worked hand in hand with many residents in Essex whose only goal, through time and sweat equity, was to make our community a great place. Right now, I’m saddened by the direction of the recreation conversation. I’m saddened because it isn’t really a conversation. Somehow a decision made by three boards to form a study committee about two extremely important organizations to our community has turned into a battle via public meetings, social media, print and an unidentified PAC. Unfounded accusations, lies and extreme disrespect have overtaken civil public engagement opportunities. Vermont is better than

Food shelf thanks community The staff of the Heavenly Food Pantry in Essex would again like to thank the many people, businesses, organizations and schools in our community who support our work of feeding folks in need in the village and town of Essex and Westford.

They include groups such as Rotary, Lions, post office, Holy Family and St. Lawrence churches; our local schools, area dental offices and the Girl and Boy Scouts. The pantry is thriving because of the many volunteers who pick up, deliver and distribute food across our towns.

Most important is the support from Hannaford with its daily donations of meat, frozen items, bread, deli items, desserts and ready to eat meals. The store also provides almost 1,000 pre-packaged boxes with peanut butter, pasta and soup.

We also purchase food from the Vermont Food Bank in Barre using donated funds. Staples such as

CCSU is protecting student dignity I am writing as both a clinical social worker and as a CCSU district parent of two to thank Superintendent Judy DeNova and her team for their leadership in working toward safety and dignity for transgendered students in our community. While this kind of progress in society raises many fears, they are the same fears raised and proven unfounded in prior periods of transition in our society like women's suffrage and desegregation. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." I am grateful every day that my children are living in a time when the bend in the arc is visible.

this. Essex is definitely better than this.

Let’s remember what we are talking about: two recreation departments who bring so much enjoyment and value to our community.

Through playgrounds and parks, swimming pools and programming – for toddlers, young adults, adults and seniors - residents of all ages can enjoy the outdoors, their neighbors and learn new skills. Both offer afterschool care and summer camps that are so vital to the working families in our community. They each also mentor and groom our young adults through summer employment opportunities – opportunities that are extremely rare for our high school students. The recreation departments help raise our house values and draw new residents to our community. Our two recreation departments embrace many of our identified Heart and Soul Values – Community Connections and

Health and Recreation.

Accusations have been made that the 10-member study committee was duped into its decision. As a member of this committee, I can guarantee this accusation is not true. This committee is one of the most thoughtful, inquisitive, vocal and unbashful I’ve been involved with.

I value conversation. I value opposing viewpoints. I value civility.

I value allowing a committee to do their work. I value the power of each individual vote.

Please everyone, let’s be civil and let’s pay attention to this issue.

Allow the committee and transition team the time to do their work. Then get involved. Read the facts and ask questions. Then hopefully we will have a chance to vote.

Thank you,

pasta, juices, nuts, peanut butter and raisins are also available to the pantry from the USDA. We are most pleased to offer items purchased or donated beyond what the food bank can supply such as fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, detergent, toilet paper, deodorant, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste, diapers and pet food.

Not only do we have a formal day of providing food to the families who come to the pantry, we also provide food numerous times during each week to places such as Whitcomb Woods, the Meadows senior housing complex at Lang Farm, Salvation Army, Essex Senior Center and other local pantries. In emergency situations, we offer food to families who request help. The pantry also participates with local schools to assist families with foodstuffs during school vacations when their children don’t receive school breakfasts and lunches.

Additionally the pantry pro-

vides monetary support to the summer lunch program. We also reach out to local schools and other organizations to educate children and adults about food insecurity in our community today. The pantry continues to grow. We are distributing a minimum of 7,000 pounds of food each month to more than 200 children and adults.

The pantry is located at the First Congregational Church of Essex Jct. on Church Street and is open the fourth Thursday of every month from 2 to 6 p.m. We welcome any volunteers to stock shelves, assist with food drives or bring food to visitors’ cars. If you would like to contact the pantry or volunteer, please call the First Congregational Church of Essex Jct. at 878- 5745.

Please join us as we make every effort to assure that no one is hungry.

It recently ranked the economies of all 50 states, using a range of indicators measuring employment, state GDP, and the income of state residents. Vermont ranked 25th, in the middle of the pack both nationally and in New England — lower than Massachusetts and New Hampshire, about the same as Maine, and above Connecticut and Rhode Island.

The left-leaning Public Assets Institute, a Montpelier think tank, came to a similar conclusion about Vermont’s economy, issuing a report last week headlined “Vermont’s Job Market Makes Pokey Progress.” The data in the report show that more Vermonters are working today than a year ago. However, Vermont, unlike the nation and the New England region as a whole, still has fewer people working than was the case at the pre-recession peak in 2007.

The reports from “Governing” and the Public Assets Institute demonstrate why Republicans Phil Scott and Randy Brock should be seen as slight favorites to be elected governor and lieutenant governor in November, at the same time Vermont gives substantial majorities to Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton, Patrick Leahy and Peter Welch.

Vermont Republicans are focusing intently on jobs and the economy in their campaigns this fall. Unlike in previous cycles, when some Republicans emphasized social issues, this year Republicans are talking nearly exclusively about the slow growth of Vermont’s labor force, the stagnation of middle-class incomes since 2010, and the impact of higher health care premiums, property taxes and other fees on affordability for Vermont middle-income households.

Republican candidates argue that, after six years of single-party Democratic control in Montpelier, it is time for a change. While they do recognize that some of Vermont’s economic problems are due to national and international forces that are largely outside state government’s control, they are also asking the voters to give a new leadership group a chance to try out a new set of policies.

For the next few years, the Republicans say, the emphasis in Montpelier should be on making state government more efficient and effective, delivering existing programs better before adding still more responsibilities to state government’s agenda.

Vermont Democrats could well have difficulty refuting this argument. The state’s economic performance over the past six years has not been especially strong. Gov. Shumlin’s relative unpopularity at the end of his term does not make Vermont voters enthusiastic about keeping the Democrats in control. Additionally, the positions of Democratic candidates Sue Minter and David Zuckerman on issues such as wind tower siting and gun control may mean they receive fewer votes from rural areas of Vermont than successful Democratic candidates in past elections.

Phil Scott and Randy Brock have made clear that they do not support Donald Trump, and will not vote for him in November. Scott first spoke out against Trump as far back as December 2015. Scott and Brock have probably inoculated themselves against the damage that Trump could well do to the Republican Party in much of the Northeast.

Voters in other northeastern states that are otherwise strongly Democratic have recently voted for moderate Republican gubernatorial candidates. In Massachusetts and Maryland, voters in 2014 elected Republicans Charlie Baker and Larry Hogan, respectively, to succeed Democratic governors who did not seek re-election. Baker is now the most popular governor in the nation, with an approval rating over 70 percent, and Hogan has a positive rating as well. Both Baker and Hogan have disassociated themselves from Trump and the congressional Republican agenda.

While the election outcome is by no means settled, Vermont voters could decide in November that Phil Scott should join Charlie Baker and Larry Hogan as moderate Republican governors in otherwise strongly Democratic states.

STABBING from page 1

Buy at Maple Tree Place in Williston, police said.

Officers were actively searching for him, warning the public not to approach.

Essex Police Chief Brad LaRose said a family member spotted St. Amour in a car, called Essex police and stayed on the line as officers worked to apprehend him. By the time Essex officers arrived on scene, Williston PD had St. Amour in custody.

The victim and suspect knew one another, police said, noting the stabbing was not a random act. Investigators are still looking into the circumstances leading up to the confrontation.

According to the affidavit, several witnesses saw the stabbing take place. An unnamed juvenile witness said a physical altercation ensued between the victim and a third party before a knife was pulled.

LaRose said police originally believed St. Amour’s friend might have also been involved in the stabbing but soon determined he was not responsible.

Court documents show St. Amour has been arrested multiple times before and sports several tattoos, including one of a swastika.

At press time, LaRose said his department interviewed 25 witnesses and will continue to talk with folks who saw the incident unfold. A departmentwide debriefing will also take place.

The homicide occurred in the last hour of the 10day event, LaRose said, bringing the Champlain Valley Fair to a saddening close. An assault on the fairgrounds early last week was the only other violent incident of note, he said.

“There’s always going to be incidents that will involve the police,” LaRose said. “Generally speaking, the fair this year [had

gone as] smoothly as it has for the past several years.”

Essex officers are largely responsible for policing the event, though they do hire out extra help from other agencies, LaRose said.

Expo communications director Chris Ashby said the grounds already have a firearms ban that is difficult to police. A policy against knives, he said, would be even harder to monitor.

“We certainly don’t want to have a knee-jerk reaction to this incident and put something in place that is ineffective and impractical to enforce,” Ashby said.

Bag checks usually only take place at major concerts or special events and are conducted by private security guards, according to LaRose.

Ashby said the fair might consider implementing those bag checks or metal detectors at the gate but says he doesn’t want to rush any decisions. “[It was] a very tragic situation that unfolded here in the last hour of what was a very good fair,” Ashby said.

This is only the second fatal incident to happen the fair’s nearly 100-year history, Ashby said. The other was in the 1960s, when a body was found in one of the barns, he said.

LaRose said this is the certainly the most serious crime to happen at the fair in his tenure. He said he understood concerns about security, but cautioned fair-goers to evaluate this event in context.

“Safety is certainly on everyone’s mind,” LaRose said. “But what we have to be cautious of in a situation like this is keeping things in perspective.”

If convicted, St. Amour’s charge carries a sentence of 20 years to life in prison. The next court date was not set at press time.

health September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month NAMI VT walk set for Sept. 25

The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Vermont is leading the fight to address suicide and mental illness throughout the state and raise awareness of its effects n individuals and communities.

On September 10, we observe World Suicide Prevention Day to reach out to those affected by suicide, raise awareness and connect individuals with suicidal ideation to treatment services. It is also important to ensure that individuals, friends and families have access to the resources they need to address suicide prevention.

Suicidal thoughts can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people and is often

the result of mental health conditions that affect people when they are most vulnerable. Suicidal thoughts and suicide occur too frequently but should not be considered common and can indicate more serious issues. In many cases, those affected by suicide are left in darkness, feeling shame or stigma that prevents talking openly about issues dealing with suicide.

NAMI believes these issues are important to address year round, and highlighting them during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and World Suicide Prevention Day provides a time for people to come together and display the passion and strength of those working to improve the lives of the millions of

Americans that can benefit from honest discussions about mental health conditions and suicide. In the fight for those living with mental illness, there is still much more to be done and more ways to get involved.

NAMI Vermont is hosting its largest annual fundraising event, the NAMI “Mind Walk,” in Burlington’s City Hall Park on September 25 at 1 p.m. Welcoming staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions and talk more about what NAMI can offer you and your family at this fun event, which will include shared stories from individuals with lived experience of mental illness and thoughts on mental health policies in our state.

NAMI Vermont raises funds to offer free programs across the state. For more information, visit www.namivt.org.

DID YOU

KNOW?

Halitosis, or bad breath as it's commonly known, can result from any number of factors. While food can be a culprit, some additional factors may be contributing to mouth odor as well.

Poor dental hygiene is a particular concern. According to Colgate

and the American Dental Association, failure to brush and floss teeth regularly leads to the accumulation of food particles in the mouth. This food can collect bacteria and begin to break down, causing a bad aroma.

Dry mouth is another condition that causes bad breath. Without ad-

equate saliva production, particles of food that may cause odor are not swept away regularly. Bad breath may also be an indication of a medical condition elsewhere in the body.

Upper respiratory infections and gastrointestinal disturbances may contribute to halitosis.

Launched in 2002 as an annual day of service to honor the victims and heroes of September 11, 9/11 Day has since evolved into the largest annual day of charitable engagement in the U.S. and was designated as a National Day of Service and Remembrance by the U.S. Congress in 2009.

“The growth of this observance from a grassroots initiative into the nation’s largest day of charitable engagement speaks directly to the true compassionate nature of millions of Americans and our shared desire to focus on

our common humanity,” 9/11 Day co-founder Jay S. Winuk said. “With its engagement in 9/11 Day, the Red Cross will make a significant impact, and we’re confident that blood donors, volunteers and organizations from coast to coast will answer this call for help while honoring the heroes of 9/11.”

Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood, so regular donations are needed. Blood and platelet donors of all types are urged to give at one of the following locations in the box at right.

Thomas placed ninth overall. Right: Thomas Shearer nears the finish line.

o our 2016 seniors are in college, the Olympics are over, summer has officially ended, school has begun, our pools are closed, the fair is gone and the high school sports season kicked off last week with the Essex Cross Country Invitational highlighting the weekend. I hope you enjoyed the Labor Day weekend. There’s a huge EAC Corn Roast Saturday evening at Chamberlain’s Farm.

EHS hosted their annual Essex Invitational, which began back in the 70s under then cross-country coach Steve Dowd. A well-maintenanced course through the Tree Farm gave runners a challenge over five kilometers.The varsity girls finished third, following CVU and MMU, scoring 93 points. Emma Farrington and AnneMarie Martell raced to third and fourth, respectively. Katie James placed 19th, Ary Wilson 33rd, Hannah Brisson 35th, Olivia Miller Johnson 42nd and Emma Chadwick 49th.

The varsity boys placed fourth behind CVU, SB and BHS with 94 points. Martin Thomas ran ninth, Ian Lyle and Ben Stewart were 19th and 20th, Jake Wagner 22nd, Jake Moran 29th, Jamie Shearer 31st and Chris Bird 42nd. The JV boys were second as freshman Henry Farrington placed second by a whisker. The JV girls were third, with Abbie Gehsmann finishing 13th.

The Essex varsity girls› soccer jamboree was another success. Coach Bill O›Neil organizes the event, with teams from all divisions descending on EHS for games from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. All three fields were used and volunteer refs helped out the cause while either shaking off the dust or gaining valuable experience. Thanks. The girls opened their season dropping a 1-0 game on the road in Bennington, though they outshot the MAU Patriots 8-4. The defense and goalkeeper Frankie Sands played well.

The boys soccer team shutout MAU 3-0 in game No. 1. Ryan Guerino, AJ Whitney and Matt Lyon scored for the Hornets. Paul Federico had 1 save.

The football team clubbed Colchester 40-6 behind almost 400 yards on the ground. Liam Colter rushed for 201 yards and a touchdown. Jordan Hines scored three times and added 113 yards. Although the defense fell for the hook and ladder play again, this time in the beginning of the game, it stiffened up for the rest and pitched a shutout.

Sports this week include football hosting MAU on Friday evening; varsity and JV field hockey home and away versus CVU and Rice on Friday; cross-country at BHS for their invite, boys soccer hosts the annual Brady Tourney on Thursday and Saturday evenings; boys volleyball plays at Enosburg next week with the girls at home; and girls› soccer hosts Rice then hits the road to play CVU on Saturday and Rutland on Monday.

The first Booster meeting of the new school year will be September 13 at 7 p.m. in room C101.

Happy Birthday nephew Nick Lavalley, Milton›s Kristen McGinnis Chalmers (saw you at a soccer game and forgot to mention), Sand Hill Pool veteran lifeguard Kevin Hancock, Liz Levine, husband-to-be Pete Shaw (congrats on your Sunday wedding). Anniversary wishes go out to neighbors Ken and Denise Fontaine (33rd) and brother and sister-in-law Vince and Karen Gonillo (32nd). Congratulations to nephew and now niece, Ethan and Stacey Bechtel.

Parents and the happy couple put on a fabulous three-day celebration in New York the last weekend of August. The Marriott in Manhattan was our home base. We walked to Ground Zero daily. It was more than breathtaking, as was the Ground Zero museum which was a highly emotional twohour visit. We were introduced to a delicious slice of NYC cuisine called Eataly (yes, EATALY). I can›t even begin to describe the food. I had to have a few slices of NY pizza too. Evening group social gatherings at the Immigrant in Manhattan, the rehearsal gathering at the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn and the weeding in the industrial district at 501 Union, also in Brooklyn. The bride was gorgeous, the groom was handsome and the best man›s toast was outstanding. Nice job, Nate. About 21 Vermont family members attended and enjoyed themselves tremendously.

of apple history and trivia

T

hough apples are enjoyed across the globe, many people associate them with the United States – that's in spite of the fact that the first apples were cultivated on the opposite side of the world in Asia.

There are more than 7,500 known cultivars of apples that produce various characteristics for flavor and appearance. Apples are often a topic of discussion in the fall, when many trees produce their largest bounties of fruit. Autumn is a good time of year to take a closer look at apples, when many trues produce their largest bounties of fruit.

A

pple origins

Malus deomestica, or the common apple tree, is a descendent of trees that originated in Central Asia in what is now southern Kazakhstan. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe; the original apple tree was the wild apple, or Malus sieversii.

European colonists likely brought apple seeds and trees with them when they immigrated to North America. Records from the Massachusetts Bay Company

indicate that apples were being grown in New England as early as 1630. Americans also enjoy the popular story of Johnny Appleseed, who was believed to have distributed apple seeds and trees to settlers across the U.S. While apples can be produced from seeds, many apples today are propagated by grafting to retain the parent tree's characteristics of flavor, hardiness and insect resistance.

A

pples and symbolism

Apples have become the main symbols of many different stories and tales throughout history. The fruit is linked to the Biblical tale of Adam and Eve and their ultimate expulsion from the Garden of Eden. However, the apple is never named in any of the religious texts as the fruit Eve picked from the tree of knowledge.

Apples have appeared in fairy tales and folklore, too. The Brothers Grimm had the character Snow White fall ill after eating a poisoned apple. In Norse mythology,

the goddess Iounn was the appointed keeper of golden apples that kept the Aesir young forever.

Apples have also played a role in science, most notably Sir Isaac Newton's study of gravity. While myth surrounds the story of Newton and an apple falling from a nearby tree, it's likely that witnessing an apple fall from a tree did indeed spark something in the famed scientist.

P

opular varieties

perennial favorites. In the U.S., the Red Delicious is the country's most popular grown apple. It was called the hawkeye when discovered in 1872. The Golden Delicious is the second most popular grown variety in America.

The Delicious apples tend to have mild but grainy flesh that can fall apart when cooked, so they're best used for snacking.

Cortland, Empire, Fuji, Gala, McIntosh and Macoun are also popular varieties.

For baking, Granny Smith, Jonagold and McIntosh apples tend to be crisp and tart and hold up better in recipes.

Many varieties of apple stand out as
