Tree Farm bans dogs after rash of safety-related issues By COLIN FLANDERS Whoever let the dogs out need take notice: The Essex Tree Farm will no longer allow the four-legged pets onto its premises. Michael Lampron, president of the Tree Farm Management Group, said the change follows a rise in dog-related issues, from feces and chewed-up sticks littering the playing fields to dogs chasing players mid-game. He said even though he believes many people are responsible pet owners, “it’s one of those things where it had to be an all or nothing rule.” “This is neither a rec park or a dog park,” Lampron said. “It’s a sports complex, and its intention is to provide space for community athletics to happen. It’s really for the players, for the kids and adults to be able to have a safe space to play.” The tree farm complex is owned by the town and village and managed by Lampron’s volunteer-run group, which operates independently from the municipalities, relying on rental fees instead of local taxes to pay for maintenance to the fields, entry road and parking lot. The management group will decide over time what’s the best approach to enforcing the new rule. Lampron said he hoped people will respect the policy instead of making the group hand out See TREE FARM, page 4

Gov. Phil Scott stresses the need to address Vermont’s shrinking workforce during a talk at the Rotary Club of Essex last week.

Scott: Shrinking workforce harming state Governor talks jobs, child care and housing at Rotary By AVALON ASHLEY Since 2010, Vermont’s population has grown by only 0.1%. As the population continues to shrink, so do the workforce, state revenue, and tax base, making the state less affordable, in the view of Governor Phil Scott, who addressed the Rotary Club of Essex on May 1.

“This is not a partisan issue,” he stressed. “We need to do more to encourage people to move to Vermont.” As of this year, mortality rates exceeded birth rates in all Vermont counties but four, and labor forces have declined by 15,000 people since 2009. While the unemployment rate in Vermont hit a record low rate of 2.3% in March, this is only half the story, Scott said. The state lost an average of 2,300 workers per year from 2010 to 2016, and national projections estimate that Vermont’s working age

population will drop by more than 10% by 2040. According to Scott, the solution lies in a “data-driven approach” that reaches out to prospective movers. When asked what he meant specifically, he remained vague but listed phone calls and knocking on doors: “the Vermont way,” he said. In order to attract more working families, the Governor supported an increased investment of $2.5 million to expand the Child Care Financial Assistance Program (CCFAP), which See SCOTT, page 4

Peter Welch (D-Vt.) announced the winners of the 38th Annual Congressional Art Competition. Winning a “Congressman Welch’s Choice” award was Lindsey Centracchio of Essex High School. Her striking art, “The Souls of Haiti,” was selected from a field of 157 entries from students representing 36 high schools across Vermont. “I am amazed by the creativity of talented young artists across Vermont,” Rep. Welch said. “Picking a

winner is always difficult. Congratulations to Lindsey for her beautiful work. She clearly has a bright future in the arts.” The Congressional Art Competition is a nationwide high school visual art competition initiated in 1981 by then-Rep. Jim Jeffords to celebrate and encourage the artistic talent of young people from across the country. High school students from across the country submit entries to their Representatives. Each year Congressman Welch chooses his favorite works of art from around the state.

Lori Hammond-Smith never thought she would open her own business – especially now, at the age of 51 – and it helped that for years she found herself under the guidance of longtime barber Garry Mountague, who held court in his Pearl Street shop for so long it felt like he might never leave. But when Montague decided to retire after more than a half-century of business, Hammond-Smith and her two colleagues, Robin Yates and Jen Bissonnette, were faced with a challenge. “We all wanted to [still] work together,” Hammond-Smith said. “We didn’t want everybody scattered everywhere. That’s what brought us here.” Thus is the origin story of Green Mountain Clippers, which officially took over the space at 38 Park St. after the previous tenant gave notice around the same time Garry’s closed. Located in the Park Street Tavern building, owned by Hammond-Smith’s husband, the shop has become the new home of Garry’s former employees and the old shop’s many faithful followers, some of whom had been getting their haircut in the same place for decades. “It was just meant to be,” HammondSmith said. Yates, Montague’s daughter, said even though some longtime customers are a little skeptical upon entering the new shop, after seeing the space – and the familiar faces – they warm up to the idea pretty quick. “It would have been 53 years in March that he would have been in that shopping center,” Yates said, while cutting a customer’s hair last week. “You have people that are like, ‘Where do we

go now? Because we don’t want to go somewhere else.’ It’s like family.” For now, Montague is taking some much-needed time off after more than 50 years as a small business owner. But according to Hammond-Smith, he may eventually start working at the shop part-time, good news for the trio of barbers who say they miss having Montague around, dispersing wisdom and jokes. Hammond-Smith said she had another opportunity to open her own shop years ago but decided against it, preferring to stay at Garry’s, where she thought she’d stay until she hung up her clippers for good. But after 25 years under his tutelage, Hammond-Smith picked up a few tips along the way. “I’m doing everything that he did,” she said. Indeed, she offers everything – haircuts, hair products and maple syrup – that customers would expect to find at Garry’s, and for the same price, too. And she hopes to soon hang up some photos of the Vt. Air National Guard, just like the ones that used to decorate the walls of his shop – all ways to make it “a little more like home,” HammondSmith said. There are some changes, of course, from local art hanging on the walls to the drinks customers can have while getting their hair cut – including a complementary beer. And there will likely be a few less jokes floating around, at least until Montague finds himself back in action. Plus, for Hammond-Smith, her new endeavor comes with one additional role: “I was always in the back corner,” she said. “Now I’m the first face they see coming through the front door.”

Tree Farm from page 1 fines. Reaction to the change was mostly positive on social media last week. A post in the Essex community Facebook group garnered dozens of commenters, most of whom said they understood the change. Several others expressed disappointment, however, noting the Tree Farm is among their regular dogwalking spots. The policy change comes two years after the Essex Police Department announced plans to rewrite a local ordinance that it said would help enforce the town’s leash law – a response to a spike in vicious dog complaints and bite incidents. Local ordinances require dogs to be leashed off their owner’s property, excluding the dog park and Indian

Brook and Saxon Hill parks. Yet police say many owners don’t comply, with EPD data showing 19 reported incidents of bites or vicious dog complaints in 2015. Meanwhile, there’s been more than 40 bite complaints in each of the last three years, most of which involved a human victim. Police Chief Rick Garey told the Reporter earlier this year the department is in the “final review process” for a new ordinance in the town and village. The ordinance will need to go to the elected boards and pass through several public hearings before it can be enacted. After discussing the management group’s reasoning behind the change, Lampron said the volunteers were initially unsure how much explanation they would provide to the public. Asked why, Lampron said, “When it comes to kids safety, it’s not a debatable issue.”

Marguerite Marie “Margo” goodrow In the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 26 our beloved Margo took her final gentle breath and was reunited with her beloved Mother and Memere in Heaven. Marguerite Marie Goodrow….who many knew affectionately as Margo, was born on January 22, 1959 in Queens, N.Y. to Gerald and Anne-Marie Bilodeau. Margo grew up in Winooski where she attended St Francis Xavier School and later Rice Memorial High School. After high school, Margo received her bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Vermont upon which she worked in group homes for the special needs community. Little did she know the impact that her social work with have in her later life. She worked for many years as an underwriter for Pomerleau Insurance in Burlington before meeting her soon to be husband Lloyd Goodrow, fell in love and married on September 19, 1992 at St Francis Xavier Church in Winooski. On August 14, 1994, Margo gave birth to her beautiful son Daniel Joseph Goodrow. As a new mother of a baby born with Down Syndrome, Margo knew that her priority was to give her son the best head start possible and she left work to dedicate her life to her beautiful son. Her happiest moments were raising Daniel and took amazing glee in celebrating her first Mother’s Day with a brunch at the Putney Inn and introducing Daniel to his first cow! The next day Margo received the horrifying news of being diagnosed with breast cancer which she attacked with fervor because she wanted to

be alive to raise her son. The type of person who would never take an aspirin or cold medicine, Margo was truly stoic in taking chemotherapy that ravaged her for many years until she finally achieved a 20 year remission. Even in her suffering, Margo was a passionate advocate for Daniel… and inspired Daniel to be a passionate advocate for others. She attended Special Olympics Events…was thrilled to go to the National Special Olympics Games with Daniel in 2010 and was his biggest cheerleader. In 2015 cancer raised its ugly head again in the form of breast cancer of the bones. Once again, she was on chemotherapy and, after 26 weeks of one treatment or another her body needed a rest before she could resume her chemo. During that rest period the cancer began to overpower her body that she was too unhealthy for future chemotherapy and she was placed in hospice status where she remained until her passing. Margo’s careers included Howard Services, Pomerleau Insurance and Parent to Parent… an organization that supported parents of children with special needs. She loved all of her work but especially enjoyed her years working at Vermont Student

Four bridges on I-89 in Colchester—76 north and south and 77 north and south, between exits 16 and 17—are scheduled for construction and partial closures from July 19 to Oct. 7. Built in 1964, the current bridges are 3-span continuous rolled beam bridges, (indicating the space between two supports,) with solid substructures and beams. However, the decks are in poor condition, and the bridge and approach railings do not meet today’s crash standards, according to the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans). The main goals for the project will be to replace the existing bridge decks with new precast deck panels, and to replace the railings. “We’re trying to make this as painless as possible,” said Todd A. Sumner, VTrans Project Manager, at a public

76 southbound. But Vermont weather doesn’t always cooperate, especially when it’s on a tight schedule. Rain showers or a temperature drop below 40 degrees could put a damper on the laying of concrete, extending the timeline into October or forcing the project to halt for winter and resume in spring. Sumner is hopeful though, suggesting that if weather conditions force the project to miss a weekend closure, there is some wiggle room in the schedule. While laying concrete and precast deck panels can be riveting, perhaps most immediately relevant to commuters and citizens of Colchester is how this construction will affect traffic on I-89 and Bay Road, below Bridge 76. Scott E. Burbank, VHB Design Project Manager, emphasized the importance of traffic phasing and how they plan to prevent congestion on the highway. According to Burbank, 1,200 is the “magic number”. During peak times, 1,200 vehicles per hour commute along I-89, with the heaviest morning traffic commuting south, and heaviest evening traffic going north. Instead of reducing to two lanes in each direction

By REP. LINDA MYERS As you read this column, the Vermont Legislature will be nearing the end of the 2019 session. Vermont’s legislative year is scheduled for 18 weeks, this year to end on May 17 or 18. With closure so near, both the House and the Senate will be working long hours to finish work that must be done this year, the budget and the revenue bill, which are regarded as the money bills. Other than those two bills, H.542 and H.541, all other bills, not passed this year can be held over until next year. The two money bills, which are always introduced by the House of Representatives, are now in the Senate waiting action by that body. My committee, Appropriations, wrote the budget bill, and we are looking forward to hearing from the Senate in regards to its actions on the bill. I anticipate we will be working to amend the Senate’s changes to the bill with the possibility of a conference committee looming. For those of you not familiar with the term “conference committee,” that consists of three members of the House and three members of the Senate who meet as necessary to agree on a final proposal to present to their respective members. The final vote on those bills is usually the culmination of the session. While the money bills must originate in the House, proposed amendments to the Vermont Constitution must originate in the Senate. This year, two amendments have been proposed that have engendered a lot of discussion throughout the State. Proposition

By DYLAN GIAMBATISTA We are now in the 17th week of the 2019 legislative session. The House and Senate are expected to adjourn sometime in the next week or two. Given that the end is in sight, this will likely be my last of my session updates before we return to the State House in 2020. I want to thank the Essex Reporter for sharing this important space. I also want to thank my Essex House colleagues for their service and commitment to our community and state. The House and Senate are debating the final set of bills that will advance this year. 728 bills have been introduced by legislators since we convened

2 calls for clarifying the prohibition on slavery and indentured servitude in the Vermont Constitution. Proposition 5 would guarantee an individual’s right to personal reproductive autonomy (abortion) in the Constitution. Both amendments have been passed by the Senate and await action in the House. To move forward, each of the propositions must pass both Houses of the Legislature this year. They must then be approved by both Houses in the first year of the 2021-2022 biennium and then approved by a vote of the residents of the State. All of the other bills that you have been reading and hearing about have either been passed or are awaiting action by both Houses of the Legislature. These include the following bills that have received much public comment this year: S.54, the cannabis retail bill; S.23, the minimum wage bill; S.113, the prohibition of plastic carryout bags, expanded polystyrene (foam) and single use plastic straws; S.22, calling for a 24-hour waiting period for the purchase of hand guns; H.107, paid family leave; and H.47, taxing electronic cigarettes. This will be my last column for this year. I will be back with “Messages from Montpelier” in January 2020. Thank you for your many comments to me this session and for the support you have shown my efforts working for the residents of Essex. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, the group of legislators who write the state budget or “Big Bill,” I have spent the first three months of the 2019 legislative

session taking part in constructing the bill that will determine the spending for Fiscal Year 2020. It was a new assignment for me in Montpelier, one that afforded me a close-up look at how a group of 11 people from different areas of Vermont and different political parties spend five days a week for almost three months looking closely at proposed State spending and working to ensure that funding for the many agencies and departments of State government is equitable and will enable residents of Vermont to benefit from that funding. In my past almost-18 years in the Legislature, I have gone to the House chamber to listen to the members of Appropriations Committee present the budget, knowing I will spend the next three hours hearing how and why the State of Vermont intends to use billions of dollars to fund the operations of the State. For most legislators, those three hours of hearing numbers can be tedious, and quite frankly, boring. This year I was one of the presenters of the Big Bill, and it made me understand and appreciate how hard 11 legislators work to bring fairness in the spending of every dollar of State funds. This year’s $6.1 billion Big Bill, as presented by the House, continues to focus on strengthening the State’s fiscal position. The bill uses ongoing funds for ongoing expenditures and reduces pressure on FY 2021 by continuing to build the State’s reserve funds. The overall proposed budget calls for a 2.6% increase in State spending which includes the General Fund, all other State funds, and Federal

funds. The General Fund, the money that Vermonters pay for with their taxes, is $1,646,453,793, up 3.9%, but $22.2 million of that amount is due to the necessity of continued funding of the Teachers Retirement Funding program. That 3.9% General Fund growth rate in FY 2020 would be 2.6% without the retirement funding. Other significant amounts included in the budget include $1,721,769,204 in the education fund, $2,040,533,736 in Federal funds, and $1,585,102,671 in Global Commitment funds (Medicare and Medicaid). Highlights of the House of Representatives FY 2020 budget include spending on: key actions and funding for vulnerable Vermonters including substance use disorders/ mental health; funding for aging and disabilities programs; economic development; housing; child care; Climate Commission initiatives; and higher education. If you want to learn more about the FY2020 budget, go to the Vermont General Assembly website, legislature. vermont.gov. Click on the Joint Fiscal Office box, click on “Appropriations & Budget,” then on FY 2020 Resources, and then on the FY 2020 House Budget Web Report. Be prepared to spend a few hours pouring though lots of numbers. If you have specific budget questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me at lmyers@leg.state.vt.us. If you have other questions about what is happening in Montpelier, email me or call me at 878-3514 and leave a message.

in January. As of May 3rd, just 27 of these bills had passed both chambers. The Governor had signed 9 into law. Many more are expected to be signed within weeks of adjournment. New laws are the product of months of committee work and thoughtful deliberation between lawmakers, the administration, and various stakeholders. The goal is to find common ground. Even the most contentious negotiations generally remain respectful. This is a key part of what sets Vermont’s legislative process apart from the gridlock in Washington DC. It remains to be seen whether the Governor will exercise his veto power on any of the bills that pass. If a veto occurs, lawmakers will briefly return

in June to vote on whether to support or overturn the Governor’s veto. Historically, vetoes are seldom used. In the 2017-2018 session, the Governor vetoed 13 bills. We should know in the next week or two whether a veto session will take place. With a variety of bills in play, we invite you to join our next community coffee meeting. We will meet at Nest Coffee & Bakery from 8:30 – 10:00am on Saturday, June 1. Representatives from the Village and Town have been attending these meetings to get feedback from neighbors. This meeting will include a wrap up of the 2019 session. Please join us and let us know where you stand on the issues. As things wind down, I’ll be pub-

lishing an end of session report to recap this year’s legislative session. You can find updates on the blog on my website, www.vtdylan.com, and on Front Porch Forum. I will be attending local meetings and want to connect with neighbors. Please email me at dgiambatista@leg.state.vt.us if you have any meetings you’d like me to attend, or topics you’d like to discuss. I’m always happy to chat.

THE ESSEX REPORTER • 9

Thursday, May 9, 2019 Letter to the editor Urging support for gun waiting period Day 137. As I write this it’s been 137 days since my 23-year-old son, Andrew Black, walked into a gun store, bought a handgun, drove home and within hours shot himself. On day number three we wrote an obituary, suggesting a way to honor Andrew would be to call your local Representative asking for a brief waiting period for gun purchases. It is heartening to see that such a bill is moving forward at the Statehouse. I’ve woken up every morning for 137 days and willed myself to get out of bed. I’ve gone to work. I’ve driven repeatedly to the Statehouse to meet with countless legislators and elected officials. I’ve told my son’s story to anyone willing to listen. I’ve gone to my mailbox each day only to find another card or letter from another family, from both near and far. Sending their condolences and telling me about their son or brother or father; how Andrew’s story is just like their loved one’s story. I’ve immersed myself in research and statistics. I used to think: “Vermont is so safe, we don’t have a gun problem.” In 2016 there were almost 1200 serious suicide attempts. The vast majority did not involve a gun and they failed; research shows that 90% of them will never attempt suicide again. Of the 118 suicide attempts that “succeeded,” more than half used a gun. Unsurprisingly, when a gun is used it is almost always fatal. There is no second chance. I now understand the devastating link between firearm access and the impulsivity of suicide. Andrew had a crisis. The same crisis most of us experience in our lives. Tragically, he impulsively chose the most lethal method to try to make his temporary crisis go away. He didn’t get a second chance. Andrew Black is not the reason to pass a gun purchase waiting period bill. Andrew is just one story. He’s just the one story you may have heard; most others you never will. There are no statistics recorded on gun deaths and date of purchase. Much like Andrew’s investigation, they will be quietly noted, signed off by a state’s attorney and never seen again. The facts regarding Vermont’s alarming rate of suicide are the reason this important legislation should be passed. Vermonters sent a strong message in November that they want common sense gun legislation. Research is very clear that waiting periods will save lives. A waiting period may have saved Andrew’s life. It will not save everyone, but it may save another mother’s son. I am grateful that a firearm purchase waiting period bill was taken up and a reasonable compromise passed the Senate. I now urge the House Leadership to work hard to pass this bill and I urge the Governor to support it. How many Andrew Blacks should we sacrifice waiting for another session? How many other mothers are going to have to start counting their days? It’s day 137. Tonight, I will lay down and say the same words I’ve said the last 136 nights.

RepoRteR “I made it through another day.” Alyssa Black Essex A voice for the animals Be a voice for the animals, be a voice for the advancement of ethically responsible farmers. A provision in the Senate Agriculture Committee’s Rural Agricultural Development bill, S.160, allows us to be that voice by funding farmers to become certified by animal welfare certification programs. Farmers who uphold high standards of practice deserve support from fellow Vermonters! Help be a part of the conversation in our state that supports increased transparency in the marketplace, helps ensure the success of responsible farmers, and improves the lives of farm animals. Vermont thrives because of agriculture, so let’s make sure that farmers have what they need to succeed and can access existing Working Land grants to help them get certified for their higher animal welfare standards. Help support farmers who represent the Vermont we know and love and urge your representative to support S.160 and ensure funding for welfarecertified farming passes this session. Katie Ruffe Time to put an end to gun violence As I sat down to the first night Passover Seder I attended on campus, I was offered a sheet with four recommended discussion questions. One question stood out to my friends and me: what enslaves you? We laughed over it at the time, at the sometimes-dark Jewish humor of the discussion of how oppressed our ancestors were that always comes up with Passover. Yet, this is a worthwhile question to pose. We sit down yearly to remember the slavery our Jewish ancestors escaped millennia ago. But after another white supremacist with a deadly weapon has perpetrated another hate crime in Poway, California, we must all reflect on what enslaves us now, as a Jewish community and as a country. I can’t get over the terrible symmetry of this event. Exactly six months after 11 were murdered at a celebration of new life in Pittsburgh, one was murdered and three were injured at a service memorializing the dead at the close of Passover. From birth to death, our community is still terrorized, with little to no action happening in our communities and legislatures to end the cycle of gun violence that enslaves us. After 50 Muslims were murdered in New Zealand, their prime minister immediately banned the weapons used—the response we should all be taking as white supremacy puts marginalized communities at risk here in America. What is it about our country that enslaves us in this cycle of violence? I have been working in the gun violence prevention movement for more than a year now, and I still do not have the answer. Why are we so enslaved by the idea of weapons of war as a method of self-defense? How can we let so many die without a national response to end the cycle? We pray every

year for peace and freedom, yet year after year the plague of gun violence takes more lives. The president tweets that he supports our right to life, but also calls Nazis and white supremacists marching in the streets “fine people.” His pockets are so lined with money from the NRA that he will not consider taking weapons away from those who will take our lives. While freedom of religion and the Second Amendment may both be in our Constitution, our Congress and the gun lobby are prioritizing one, regardless of the deadly consequences. It is time to end our country’s perpetual enslavement that puts every single one of us in danger. Emma Helen Bauer Tips for recycling center Recently I took the public tour of the Recycling Facility on Avenue C, Industrial Ave, Williston, and here are some of the tips we got. 1. Get ourselves off mailing lists of large catalogs, financial accounts and such. While paper can be recycled, it’s no longer profitable now that China is no longer accepting our recycled paper. 2. Clean out those yogurt/ peanut butter containers, etc. The workers at the facility have to work in a loud, smelly environment, so make it a bit easier for them. 3. Recyclable items smaller than 2” square fall through gaps in the machines into waste section so pill bottles, etc., would save labor by going into our own trash. 4. If we’re including the lids of cans, best to put the lid into can and squash it a bit to keep the lid in, so it will not injure the workers. 5. Yes, the recycling is not all machine. Part of it is a section where workers stand at a conveyer belt sorting out items. 6. No batteries or electronics; they are hazardous to the workers. Bring to a drop-off center. 7. Wow, just for little Vermont, we sure generate a mountain of trash. Mother Earth is our home. John Egan

Community players take on Macbeth

PHOTOS BY COLIN FLANDERS

Essex Community Players actors run through a dress rehearsal of Macbeth last week. The show runs from May 2 to May 12. By COLIN FLANDERS Wrapping up their 60th anniversary season, the Essex Community Players is performing an open-casting production of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The show is directed by Nan Murat, a Milton resident who’s overseeing a cast that includes Carly Bennett, Jana Beagley, Adam Cunningham, David Dilego, Richard Littauer, Amy Mills, Charlotte Norris, April Palmer, Lauren Patterson, Andrew Rash and Bryon Schmidt. Murat said the barebones cast of 11 taking on the 37 characters means “there are no small characters or actors in this play. They are all multi-roled. It’s phenomenal.” Actors ditch the traditional

BRIDGES from page 7 during weekdays, Burbank explained, the use of crossover lanes should prevent congestion from piling up. This means that one lane will cross over the bridge onto the other side, in order to keep two lanes open in the busiest direction—southbound in the morning and northbound in the evening. On weekend closures, the same cross-

over method will be used to divert traffic from construction but only to two lanes, one northbound and one southbound, from Fridays at 7 p.m. to Mondays at 6 a.m. “The number one rule for construction is, ‘don’t demo over live traffic’,” Burbank said, as discussion at the Public Meeting began to die down. “Chicken,” replied Sumner from his seat, eliciting dry chuckles from around the room. In addition to the partial closures

on I-89, Bay Road will be closed twice, as well as the bike path on the south side of Bay Road. When Bridge 76 is demoed, Bay Road will alternate one-way, using flaggers. To avoid Bay Road at this time, there will be signs posted for a detour route via Route 2/7 to Blakely Road/VT 127 to East Lakeshore Drive, and then back to Bay Road. Sumner clarified that the Colchester Triathlon on July 28th will not be affected by the road or bike path clo-

Shakespearian dress for a “blackboxstyle,” Murat added, allowing the show’s designers to let their creativity run wild. And the director said the cast has worked hard to make the show accessible to people who may not typically enjoy Shakespeare. “I’m one of those that if they don’t know what they’re saying on stage, you’re bored,” Murat said. “My actors know what they’re saying. You’re hearing the story. This is going to be a shakespeare production that they haven’t seen before. we’re using the traditional words with the non traditional setting. It’s fast-paced. It’s exciting.” The 2 hour 30 minute show runs from May 2 to May 12, with show times available at essexplayers.com/macbeth.

sures. There will also be no construction during the Fourth of July holiday. A separate project in May 2020 is tentatively planned should construction run smoothly this fall, wherein the bridges will be paved, the lines painted, and the steel beams painted.

EssEx sport shorts By JOE GONILLO Wet, wet, wet and more wet. Toss in some 40 and 50 degree weather and you would think it’s fall heading into November. We need a turn or break in the weather very soon. Only a handful of contests last week though Saturday was nice enough for Little League to hold its opening day parade and full slate of games. With all the cancellations, please check the EHS athletic website for specific make-up schedules. Congratulations to the following VTers on their 2019 induction to the VPA Hall of Fame: Ken Campbell, Brian Collamore, Callie Ewald, soccer ref and Winooski baseball coach Dennis Filion, Robert Goudreau, soccer/lacrosse ref and lax assignor Terry Harlow, hoop coach David McGinn, Kate Moser, Kyle Fredette, George Peterson, the pride of Hartford Mike Stone, and Lyndon AD and coach Paul Wheeler. Very nice group! The boys lacrosse team went 2-0 and plays to a 4-3 record. Essex dropped CHS 12-3 behind strong of-

fensive games from Chris Davis and Grady Corkum. They edged Woodstock 9-7. Cam Frankenhoff scored 3 times, Corkum twice, Sam Bowen 1g 1a, with Davis and Ben Serrantoni adding a goal and Luke Meunier 1a. Aiden Haggerty made 8 saves. They battle SB and MIDD this week. The jv boys are 2-2 with a 12-0 shutout over the Lakers. The JVB team is 0-3 but improving daily. The girls lax team, 1-4, lost a close one to SB 9-7. Abby Robbins drilled in 3 more goals with Sarah Coulter, Grace Wiggett, Abbey Gleason, and Lindsey Centracchio notching 1 each. Madi Larson stopped 5 shots in net. The CVU game was rained out and is rescheduled. BFA, MMU, and BHS are next. No sub-varsity results to report. The baseball team is 2-2 after a tough 7-4 loss to the Lakers. The weather claimed their other games. BHS, NC, and CVU at the bare minimum this week. The jv’s beat CHS 6-2 and are 3-0. The frosh are 2-0. The softball team bombed CHS 17-2 and had their BFA game.rained out. At 4-0 the Seahorse, Falcons and Redhawks are the opposition this week. The JVs are 3-0 in limited play. The track and field team hosted

a number of teams in a mini invitational last week. Girls and boys results impressed: Jamaal Hankey HH, Michael Baker PV, Lizzie Martell 1500m eye-opener, Henry Farrington 3k; Nejla Hadzic HH, Wyatt Lamell and Nate Demig DISC, girls’ and boys’ 400m relay. BHS Invite Saturday. Both teams will be tested. STJ girls are strong and talented again. Boys face challenges from the Hilltoppers and MMU to name a few. By the way Hankey, Lamell, Ryan Guerino, and James Boldosser set a school record in the mile relay in some not-so-nice running conditions. Congrats! State record < than 3 seconds away. Celtics and Bruins are fighting for their playoff lives in exciting series. Don’t miss those games. Love watching the Warriors and Rockets too. Shoutout to former Hornet softball players now on the diamond in college: Ali Rutz, Junior P/OF Bowdoin College; Michelle Kent, Sophomore OF University of Maine club team; Emily Harvey, Freshman P/IF Castleton University, Makenna Thorne, Freshman OF Castleton University. Way to go ladies! How about Brendan Gleason! The Notre Dame senior started as a walk-on 4 years ago and is now one of the most

lethal lacrosse players in the country. With over 100 career points and 23 goals and 12 assists the spring, he led the Fighting Irish to the #8 ranking nationally and into the ACC finals. He also earned ACC honors and has been drafted by 2 professional lax leagues. Highlights include a big regular season win over North Carolina and a W over Duke in the ACC semi’s. Vs Virginia in the finals ND fell 10-4. Info at https:// www.nbc29.com/story/40418105/no5-virginia-mens-lacorsse-captures-its18th-acc-title. Happy Birthday wishes Anna Olsen, Lindsay Shumway, Kim Garrett, Matt Conti, Shawn Marcoux, Bruce Schmidt, Greg Alling, Jay Brady, Kenena Montague, Amelia Coleman, Wendy Hirschman, Jess McWilliam, Ali Wells, Heather Garrow, Britnee Chan, Todd Astor, Joey Picard, Amy Jackman, Nick Kent, Tony Arcovitch, Austin Hall, Ryan Elliott, Abby Robbins, Natalie McMahon, Matt “NYY” Bissonnette. Continued prayers and thoughts out to CTE’s Christine Chase. Hope you are home and on the road to recovery my friend.

Corkum had multiple goals in each of two boys lacrosse wins for the Hornets last week, netting four in a 13-4 victory over Colchester on April 29 and two more to help beat Woodstock 9-7 on May 4. The senior captain also had an assist at Colchester for the Hornets, whose only losses through seven games are to New York teams and defending Vermont champion CVU.

KAyLAn FErrEirA Senior: Softball In the only game Essex played in a week that included postponements of two contests, Ferreira was one of five Hornets with two hits and made both of them thrillers, with a pair of triples. Ferreira finished with a team-high four runs batted in while Rachel Yandow hit a 3-run homer and Erin Mulcahy, Callie Appenzeller, Logan Pollard, Jamie Morin, and Molly Bruyns had extrabase hits.
