Recreation district nears judgment day

two public forums. It has also released two informational videos, answered more than 20 FAQs on its website and provided a prospective budget.

RGSC chairman Michael Smith said the committee will continue its work until the vote in December, including four more public forums. The next set for Thursday at 6:15 p.m.

Some town residents, like selectboard member Irene Wrenner, felt the committee is overstepping its charge.

“According to statute, their work is over,” Wrenner said.

"If the selectboard wants to allow this committee to meet, using town resources — town lights, town heat, town building — that's great,” she continued.

“But why not open it up a little bit more [to new members] ... because it's no longer the committee we appointed.”

A

who’s who of Essex civil servants filed into the town offices Monday evening to discuss the progress of the proposed recreation district.

Up for discussion was the recreation governance study committee’s date of dissolution, the potential fallout from a no vote and the proposal to phase in tax equalization.

The joint meeting, between the selectboard, board of trustees and the prudential committee, comes nearly eight months after the two municipal boards created the RGSC. Since voting to pursue a merger between Essex’s two recreation departments into a union municipal district, the RGSC has met 15 times, including

Essex shooters defend freedoms

Police seek dogs in bite incidents

By COLIN FLANDERS Essex police are trying to locate two dogs and their owners after separate bite incidents.

The first incident occurred the morning of September 23 on Lamore Road, when police say a loose brown and white Jack Russell terrier bit a man who tried to check its collar, which read “Oliver.” The dog then ran away.

Last Wednesday, police responded to another dog biting report at about 4 p.m., when they say a brown or black hound/lab mix bit a teenage girl on 164 Main St. That dog was seen walking with an older gentleman toward Central Street after the incident, a press release said.

Anyone who witnessed the incidents or has information about the dogs or their owners is asked to call Essex police at 8788331.

Spring Village. Costs vary based on the suite and the level of care residents require.

The Essex facility is the eighth in

ore than 30 gun advocates gathered at the Essex town offices last week to oppose new shooting regulations proposed by Police Chief Brad LaRose.

LaRose’s suggestions, which would impose greater restrictions on shooting, come nearly a year after a stray bullet lodged in a Deer Crossing Lane home and eight years after John Reiss was killed by one in his Old Stage Road home.

Deer Crossing homeowners association president Deborah Brault said residents hear gunshots day and night, during hunting season and not.

That’s because, according to John Jacob, an Essex native and professional firearms safety instructor, there are three private target shooting ranges around Deer Crossing. One of them, Jacob said, has no safe backstop, and there is no control over who uses them.

The range is in the direction from where LaRose believes the bullet came. Jacob urged the town to sponsor a public shooting range to reduce the use of unregulated, private ranges.

That was one of the recommendations from a selectboard-appointed citizen taskforce that studied the town’s firearms ordinance after Reiss’ death.

The taskforce also recommended the town erect signs to indicate boundaries for permissible shooting. The board never acted on the recommendations and last spring directed LaRose to study gun ordinance changes anew.

“Before we reinvent the wheel, we should look at those suggestions because I think some of them are things that

Village mulls options to combat wrong-way traffic

By COLIN FLANDERS The Essex Jct. Board of Trustees authorized the public works department to study wrong-way traffic on Park Terrace, which residents say is often used illegally as a bypass for Five Corners congestion.

Park Terrace current-

“It’s beautiful,” she gasped. A staff member smiled and asked if she was excited for the big transition.

“I just can’t wait,” the woman said, smiling.

The future resident is one of more than a dozen who will move into Spring Village at Essex this week. The new assisted living center neighbors the Inn at Essex and specializes in memory care, a method for aiding those with dementia.

The yearlong construction project was completed just last week. The center contains 56 suites and has space for up to 60 residents, according to Carrie Rae Shamel, director of community relations. The majority, if not all, will have some level of memory loss.

“We take a wide range,” Shamel said. “It might be someone who is newly diagnosed [and] just needs a little help with reminders and cuing, to people who are very disoriented and need a lot of physical help.”

Families will pay anywhere from $5,500 to $9,500 a month for a spot at

Vermont companies gathered for a poster session at the ninth annual “Problem Solving Symposium.”

Sponsored by the Vermont Manufacturing Expansion Center, the Oct. 5 event coincided with National Manufacturing Week.

It’s the second year GlobalFoundries invited outside participants and the first time students have toured the Fab 9 facility; both are part of ongoing efforts for a more open environment, a slightly different philosophy than its predecessor, IBM, said Dale Miller, head of operations, as he addressed the symposium.

"I think that's a good thing for us going forward as a company,” Miller said. “I think it's great for the community and the business environment we have here in Vermont.”

The symposium is also a networking opportunity, he said, where companies can peruse other projects, speak with team leaders and swap ideas and techniques on how to solve real-life problems.

For GlobalFoundries, scenarios ranged from a fighting small-scale fire that occurred in July to combatting machine downtime by limiting build-up of boron, a chemical element in pipes that feeds power to various machines.

For the fire, a team led by principle engineer Dustin Nufer found a simple solution: switching out a plastic bin that’s

believed to have built up static and sparked the blaze.

After contacting the GlobalFoundries campus in Fishkill, N.Y., Nufer and his team learned a similar bucket was being used, leading to companywide updates to safety protocols.

Other problem fixes, like the boron build-up, are still in progress, requiring up to eight months for the team to identify root causes and establish a series of proposed fixes now being tested.

Among the symposium were representatives from BioTek, Cabot Cheese Cooperative, Darn Tough, Five Maples and Essex Jct.’s own Stewart Construction.

Miller said it’s encouraging to see representation from different areas of expertise.

"Any kind of discipline or work environment can actually leverage these

tools,” he said.

Some of GlobalFoundries’ team leaders also had a bit of advice for their younger STEM counterparts.

HVAC engineer Paul Biggs said mastering these problem-solving skills can help students become a valuable asset for a company, since the techniques are often used to fix a substantial problem.

“So at the end of the day when [you] go home, you feel better about yourself,” he said.

Nufer shared a bit of age-old advice that remains relevant in his daily routine: There’s no such thing as a stupid question.

"I'll think I'll know the answer to this particular question, but I'll ask it anyway,” he said. “I'll learn something, because there will be some tidbit of information someone else knows that they can add on.”

been implemented, and I think they just got forgotten about,” said resident Shaun McCuin, who served on the 2009 taskforce.

The Essex firearms ordinance was last updated in 1998.

“We do need to modify the ordinance,” LaRose said. “I do not recommend doing nothing. I think there is a way we can make the community safer.”

LaRose believes an effective first step is banning shooting around Indian Brook Reservoir and in the Saxon Hill Forest — two popular walking and biking trail networks. He also advocates banning the use of long-range rifles in shooting zones close to residential neighborhoods.

“When there is a bullet through a person’s living room that came within 4 or 5 feet of a 4-year-old’s head, that’s concerning,” LaRose said. “When people tell me they are walking the trails at Saxon Hill Forest and Indian Brook and they hear gunshots and they’re scared and don’t want to go back, that’s concerning.”

The advocates defended their right to use Indian Brook Reservoir and the Saxon Hill Forest as hunting grounds.

Some suggested gating off Indian Brook Park to cars during hunting seasons and posting signs at the gate about the prevalence of hunting in the area.

“They’ve got 11 months to enjoy that property when we’re not out there hunting it,” Thad McCuin said. “This is a way of life. This matters to us. [We’ve] hunted safely for years and years. Why should we be punished and not be able to do

something we love?

“It’s time the town invest in a range,” McCuin concluded, “because there is a big difference between shooting several times [at a target] safely … and hunting.”

The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife provides grants and technical support to towns and nonprofits wishing to build public shooting ranges. In 2009, department officials offered to help Essex set up a public range. Since 2012, the department has opened two free, public shooting ranges in Vermont.

Though a municipal range could reduce the need for private ranges, the town can’t prevent people from continuing to use them, LaRose said. Existing private ranges, even in areas designated as no shooting zones, are grandfathered in according to state law, he said. The ordinance can only prevent new private ranges from being used.

“You’re not going to stop irresponsible people with a new ordinance,” said Brad LaFountain, a former competitive shooter. “You’re just going to reduce the rights of law-abiding citizens.”

Selectboard chairman Max Levy tasked LaRose with gathering more information about shooting restrictions in other Chittenden County municipalities, noting that two Essex neighbors, Jericho and Westford, have no local firearms restrictions.

“We want to come up with something we can all live with,” he said. “Probably no one will like it completely, but we need to come up with something together.”

the country managed by parent company WoodBine Senior Living. Despite an ever-growing community, the owners haven’t taken a cookie-cutter approach to their newest venture, Shamel said.

“What works in New Jersey doesn’t work in Vermont,” she said. “We get a lot of ownership to make decisions. They don’t tell us how to do things.”

Bold murals in the freshly painted entryway are designed to elicit memories of familiar scenes, like Main Street in downtown Burlington.

Administrative offices line a nearby hallway. Each sports a small awning and decorative siding, mimicking quaint storefronts.

Staffers call the two identical residential quarters “The Town” and “The Junction,” a nod to the municipal boundaries of their host community. A central eating space is aptly named the “Five Corners Café,” and will serve light refreshments throughout the day, according to Shamel.

The town square model also includes very few dead ends, a design chosen to meet the specific needs of those with dementia.

“Often when people with dementia wander, they’re looking to land some-

Resident rooms feature accessible showers and kitchenettes. Common spaces include cozy living rooms with fireplaces, bright sunrooms and secure outdoor patios and courtyards.

There’s also a doctor’s office and hair salon onsite. Shamel said going out for those services could often frighten or panic folks with memory loss.

In the kitchen, multiple meal choices will be offered at all times of the day.

Even the colors of the dishes were selected with care. Shamel said Alzheimer’s disease can often affect the senses.

“The color red is one of the last [colors] to go,” she explained. “We have red plates in our dining room to contrast

From cooks to nurses, staff members were specially trained in the best practices of memory care.

Susan Cartwright is the center’s activities director and has already drafted an event calendar for the upcoming month. She consulted family members about the residents’ interests and tailored her schedule accordingly.

At the center, Cartwright has created “life stations,” tucked into corners of the common spaces. One features a crib and baby doll. Another, an office desk and typewriter. Around the corner, there’s a wedding station with jewelry and a bridal veil.

Cartwright acknowledged those setups won’t work for everyone, but said they may provide a very soothing sense

“Their first memories are their last ones to go,” she explained. “For some people, [these stations] will evoke a memory.”

The center also has a passenger van for excursions outside the center walls – to get a creemee in the summer or go leaf peeping in autumn, Shamel said.

Cartwright said she’s also working to engage the greater community. Students and teachers from the Thomas Fleming School and Champlain College will likely make trips to the center, she said.

She also recruited a team of volunteers to facilitate a variety of projects.

A new piano and jukebox should arrive soon, and she hopes community members will come by and practice their playing for the residents.

Cultivating a soothing and engaging program is of upmost importance to Cartwright. She entered the gerontology field to help an age group she believes is often pushed out of society.

“This is their home,” Cartwright said. “I come to their home everyday. So whatever works for them is what we’re going to do.”

State law says joint survey committees like the RGSC have the power to “provide for the distribution of information resulting from such surveys, studies and programs.”

Those opposed to the plan have had ample opportunity to share their opinion, village president George Tyler said.

“I don’t think anyone’s speech has been stifled at all,” he said. “It’s been robust.”

Tyler also explained the rationale behind the trustees’ resolution.

The resolution states the trustees will work with the prudential committee to transfer Essex Jct. Parks and Recreation over to the village in the event of a no vote. They’ll then explore finance and governance models to maintain EJRP’s budget separate from the village general fund.

Tyler said although it seems like an “obvious solution” to consolidate EJRP under the town, doing so right after the trustees assured the prudential committee they would assume oversight “wouldn’t have been appropriate.”

“It would have tarnished our integrity,” he said.

Tyler also addressed concerns from residents who felt the board’s resolution was an unfair ultimatum.

Consolidation isn’t “totally off the table,” he said, “but I think we’re trying to depoliticize this as much as possible.”

Perhaps the most significant discussion for residents is the plan to phase in the tax increases for town voters. The plan would incrementally increase taxes in the town over five years instead of one large increase. The trustees supported

Tuesday, Oct. 18 6:15 p.m. at Thomas Fleming School Free childcare at 6 p.m. the plan in their resolution last month.

Voters got their first look at how it might work via a prospective budget at the first two public forums.

In fiscal year 2018, owners of a $280,000 home could expect a $103 bill in the town outside the village, a $16 increase from the current year.

Village homeowners could expect a $269 bill, representing an $11 decrease.

The budget assumes the village phases down its additional recreation support, starting with cutting 5 cents in the first year and reducing by 1 cent each year.

The next four years would result in annual $12 increases for town residents until support equalized at $163 in FY23.

At the end, village residents would see a $116 decrease from current recreation taxes, while town residents would see a $76 increase.

RGSC member Jason DiRosa is opposed to the plan. Village voters would still pay extra in the first four years, he said, without reaping the benefits, like having first choice in recreation programs.

Unified school board and prudential committee member Marla Durham disagreed. She said the plan shows a “spirit of cooperation between the two communities.”

The plan would ultimately need approval from the recreation board, which will be elected at the Dec. 13 vote. Though that date has been discussed for months now, it’s not official until the two boards agree to warn the vote.

The trustees unanimously voted on Monday to place the item on its Nov. 8 agenda. The selectboard also agreed to discuss the warning at its Nov. 7 meeting with a 4-1 vote. Wrenner had the lone dissenting vote.

As for the new Town Offices at 81 Main, this was certainly the case. Here is the good news. That challenging project was successfully delivered because of the competence and admirable support of every town official we worked with, support generously given to the architect and general Contractor. Essex Jct. is very fortunate to have such dedicated, smart town officials and on this project, one volunteer in particular, Mike Plageman.

Mike made his presence felt early on as we first started the process of putting in place new work while at the same time,

How did we let this happen?

“A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.”

This is a quote from Jimmy Carter, a very mediocre president, but a good ex-president and a decent person. The description certainly applies to the current Republican presidential candidate.

How did we let this happen?

I voted earlier this week at the town clerk’s office. I know I will be disappointing some family and many friends when I confide that, for the first time in 69 years, I could not bring myself to vote for the candidate of the GOP – and obviously could never vote for the Demo-

stepped up and helped facilitate the overlap of town responsibilities in concert with those of the general contractor. This might sound easy, but I assure you it was not. As the project wore on, time and again Mike would help keep the schedule on track by calling upon his own contacts when needed.

To the citizens of Essex Jct., I’d like to say you have in place a great bunch of local leaders. It is that kind of cooperation and dedication to an outcome that we need in state government, and for that reason, I’m asking you to vote for Mike Plageman.

You would be well served having Mike Plageman representing you in Montpelier.

Mark Neagley President, Neagley and Chase Construction cratic abomination. The Libertarian party surely doesn’t represent my thinking on many issues, but at least its top candidates are two experienced Republican governors with moderate-to-right records who appear to be scandal-free and temperamentally stable; they’ve received my vote “in desperation and by default,” if only to register disgust with the two dregs of society that we are given as an option! We can’t possibly do worse, and besides, “None of the above” isn’t a choice on the ballot. (OK, so the former governor of New Mexico has been embarrassed by his “Aleppo moments.” Better to fess up than bluster and lie.

Harry Truman and Gerald Ford had a few lapses along those lines, too, and they were still a credit to the office.)

Mike has given so much to us and continues to offer us more. He has owned a small business for over 25 years. He understands the bottom line and what needs to be done to meet those challenges.

Mike has served us on many boards and committees over the past 20 years.

He has served on planning, zoning board of adjustment and police facility study committees.

No to a Plan B, yes to a UMD We ask that the Essex Selectboard and the community support bringing the unified municipal district to a vote in December and to support the UMD as the new combined model for the recreation departments.

We agree the UMD is the best path forward to reach overall equality in our communities for recreation for these reasons: If the EJRP went under the village trustees, it would not solve the problem of tax inequity nor consolidate the departments.

If EJRP goes under the town, there would be less support for the concerns of village residents since there would be no representation from trustees or the school district. This is “oversight” that the villagers need.

Equal losses: Village residents will lose a recreation department that is village-focused under the purview of the school district and will be paying for the pool bond, while sharing that resource until the bond is paid. Town residents will lose a recreation department under the purview of the selectboard and pay a higher tax rate than village residents until equalization.

Under a UMD, there would be equal oversight, equal representation, one budget, one elected board, equal tax rate once that transition is final, equal programming once that transition is final and a more inclusive Australian ballot budget vote rather than a limited Town Meeting vote.

A win-win for everyone.

Deborah Billado Essex

We agree with a December vote because the issue is in the forefront of everyone’s minds. We know the committee would have preferred a November vote date and are not staging the vote at an “odd” time in order to suppress voter turnout. The risk for someone to contest the election and the limited time to discuss the issue and to follow the law for absentee ballots makes a November date risky and objectionable for Essex.

If we don’t try something new, we won’t know if it will work. If, after five years it is not working for any one district member, then a different decision can be made.

Lastly, we understand that a department under the purview of the school district is very different than a department under a municipality. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved in a different way and the best solution is a UMD. We applaud staff and leaders for having necessary and positive conversations over the past year.

This think-tank collaboration is something that should occur on a consistent basis to solve issues in our community. Due diligence has been done responding to concerns, we enthusiastically support it and ask that you write a letter of support to the selectboard about bringing this issue to a vote in December and that you approve the creation of a UMD for our “one” community.

The critical need for community mental health care

By LAURIE EMERSON Executive director, NAMI Vermont

O

ctober 2 through October 8 was Mental Illness Awareness Week, an annual opportunity to fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for equal care.

In Vermont, 1 in 5 people are affected by mental illness – approximately 23,000 adults and 6,000 youth and teenagers. One in 17 adults lives with serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder. Vermont needs to ensure that adequate funding will be available for mental health treatment and services.

The state of Vermont has become a leader in the nation by establishing community-based mental health treatment designated agencies to serve communities locally. The need for mental health services has grown steadily and even intensively in certain areas. Since Tropical Storm Irene reshaped the banks of our system of care, funding has not matched the needs of the new system for mental health services. Budget shortfalls have eroded the service structure even further, with continually slipping Medicaid reimbursement rates already starting to upset Vermont’s mental health landscape. Cutting mental health services causes unintended consequences that will increase other health care costs in the long run. We need to invest more in effective community services to prevent further services from being washed away.

The human impact of underfunded mental health services cannot be understated. Untreated mental health conditions cost our state in emergency rooms, corrections, homeless shelters, law enforcement, schools and other public services. People need prompt, immediate care and should not be waiting in emergency rooms. We need to increase staffing and funding so that acute care and respite beds are available for patients when needed. We need solutions – individuals with mental illness should not have to suffer and wait for care.

Now is the time to focus on an integrated system of health care, where physical, mental, emotional wellbeing and spiritual health services are all working together. Mental health is a health service that needs to be treated the same as other forms of health care.

The need for mental health treatment is on the rise. In Vermont, there are 80 suicides annually.

This is higher than the number of motor vehicle deaths or homicides in Vermont. The vast majority of those who die by suicide live with mental illness – often undiagnosed or untreated. Protecting and strengthening state and local mental health services will save lives.

The time to resolve these critical issues is at hand. We have the opportunity to capitalize on recent advances in mental health and optimize use of the new infrastructure provided by the Department of Mental Health’s designated agencies.

Rather than forcing these organizations to do more with less through chronic budget skimming, Vermont must dedicate resources to a mental health system of care that will work.

NAMI Vermont is the independent Vermont chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, a statewide non-profit, grassroots, volunteer organization comprised of family members, friends and individuals affected by mental illness. As our mission, NAMI Vermont supports, educates and advocates so that all communities, families and individuals affected by mental illness or mental health challenges can build better lives.

I

t was a bad day for fly fishing.

Mid-day summer sun had heated Browns River to at least 72 degrees. That’s according to a thermometer Mark Wilde, a St. Albans fly fishing guide, found on the side of a riverbank years ago.

It’s considered unethical to fish in such tepid waters, Wilde explained, making spring and autumn the ideal seasons for anglers. We drove a few miles upstream to deeper waters in Underhill Center and measured the temperature again: much better.

“Try a practice cast,” Wilde told me, certain his temperature assessment had scared any nearby fish away already.

I was so shocked to see an immediate tug on the line, I stood motionless, mouth gaping. Then it happened again – and again.

If this was an indication of luck to come, I was in for a thrill, I thought as I carefully tailed Wilde upstream to a new spot.

The Underhill native picked up the hobby from a family friend at age 12 and sold his hand-tied flies to his father’s coworkers at IBM. He bought Uncle Jammer’s Guide Service in 1998 from James Ehlers, now at the helm of Lake Champlain International in Colchester.

The only thing I was instructed to bring the morning of my first lesson was a license, which I’d bought online that morning for $26. Wilde provided everything else, including a pair of wading boots that were, he said, the smallest and most fashionable he had. He even rolled out a small tan carpet square to stand on as I swapped shoes.

“People always ask me if their feet will get wet,” Wilde laughed. “Yes, they will!”

I was thankful he didn’t see the look on my face as water seeped into my waders just seconds later. *** The majority of the lesson was spent with dry feet, on a soccer field at Browns River Middle School in Jericho.

A summer camp released a herd of students onto a nearby playground as we arrived. Some watched quizzically as Wilde set up a hula hoop target. Fifty pairs of observing little eyes did not exactly quell my nerves.

“I have confidence in you,” Wilde said. “I brought the smallest hula hoops.”

He demonstrated a few basic casts, effortlessly hitting the target each time.

When I made my first cast, he erupted into a smile.

“That was beautiful!” he exclaimed.

“You’re ready for the next cast.”

I looked at him skeptically – my line was nowhere near the hula hoop. The

water would behave much differently than the grass, he swore.

Teaching, it seems, surrounds Wilde in every aspect of his life. He works as the lead fly fishing instructor for L.L. Bean, giving fly tying classes outside on Bank Street in Burlington. He also heads multiple summer fishing camps, working with kids as young as 10 through Colchester and South Burlington parks and recreation departments.

Wilde’s also a guide for the Wulff School of Fly Fishing, a legendary company teaching courses through the Catskills in New York, and hosts weekly clinics in Highgate Springs.

An average week includes at least 25 students, Wilde said. Prices vary, but a four-hour private booking like mine generally runs around $175 with all materials included.

During the school year, Wilde teaches agriculture and natural resources at Missisquoi Valley Union High School, a job that pays the bills, he said.

Wilde’s instructions are also full of similes, I soon learned. Casting is like tossing a cup of water over your shoulder or swooping a paintbrush, he said. It’s like chess, not checkers, and like hunting

a wild turkey with a bow.

“I love these teaching moments,” he said, giddy.

A motion fly fishing is not like? Swinging a tennis racket or tossing a baseball.

A skilled angler casts with the same force forward and back, Wilde explained.

“Athletic training actually works against you,” he said. Check one off for me, I thought. *** The excitement from the first three bites in the water was, unfortunately, not matched again. Even Wilde couldn’t coerce nibble from the fish with his own expert casts. That’s a fact, I’m not ashamed to admit, that did wonders for my ego.

“Catch any flies?” a man yelled down from his deck as we waded across the stream, perhaps looking a little defeated.

“Not yet,” Wilde replied kindly.

Some of Wilde’s students have trouble taking this disappointment gracefully.

Several have stormed off in frustration after they didn’t master skills at the pace they’d hoped. Many are successful businessmen unaccustomed to failure.

“I’ve met more millionaires than I care to say,” Wilde said. “But fly fishing is the great equalizer.”

Wilde gives all his students the fly they used to catch their first fish. He once received a photo of a prominent CEO’s first fly floating inside a glass paperweight on an impressive-looking desk.

I leave the water fishless but thrilled.

I all but gasp when I check the time and notice more than five hours elapsed since I first met Wilde in the parking lot.

This time, I refuse the tiny tan carpet square, wringing out my sopping wet socks as the bottoms of my feet turn brown with dirt. As I got in the car and turned the key, Wilde waved his arms and started toward me.

“Here,” he said, cutting the fly from the line with his teeth. “You might not have caught a fish, but I think you earned this.”

I examined my fly, settled carefully at the bottom of a bright orange pill bottle. Preserving it in a paperweight suddenly seemed reasonable.

Vpa to host debates

T

he Vermont Press Association is sponsoring "Debate Sunday" to allow voters a chance to hear the candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general on Sunday, Oct. 23 at St. Michael's College.

All candidates for the three statewide offices are invited to the event, which is being held in conjunction with the St. Michael's College Media Studies, Journalism and Digital Arts Department.

Each debate is planned for 90 minutes in the McCarthy Arts Center. The debates will be livestreamed and telecast live on Channel 17/Town Meeting TV. The start times and invited candidates are: 1 p.m. – Attorney general: Deborah “Deb” Bucknam (R-Walden), T.J. Donovan (D-South Burlington) and Rosemarie Jackowski of Bennington.

3 p.m. – Governor: Liberty Union Bill “Spaceman” Lee (Liberty UnionCraftsbury), Sue Minter (D-Waterbury) and Phil Scott (R-Berlin).

5 p.m. – Lieutenant governor: Randy Brock (R-Swanton), Boots Wardinski (Liberty UnionNewbury) and David Zuckerman (P/D-Hinesburg).

The event is free and open to the public.

“Debate Sunday” is one of the few chances for Vermonters to hear all the candidates under one roof at the same time, VPA president Adam Silverman said.

Questioners and moderators will come from VPA members. The VPA, which represents the interests of the 11 daily and four dozen non-daily printed newspapers circulating in Vermont, has headquarters at St. Michael’s College.

Questions also will be solicited from the public attending the debates.

Following the event, copies of each debate will be shared for rebroadcast on various cable TV systems throughout Vermont in the coming weeks.

local Foliage report: Peak season approaching park terrace

from page 1

short-term fixes, like signage improvements and stronger police enforcement, can alleviate the problem before winter hits.

“There is concern that the problem could be exacerbated with more people trying to access the 4 Pearl St. building,” village president George Tyler said at the trustees’ Sept. 27 meeting, noting the new five-story building in progress.

Public works will compile data before drafting recommendations, like peak hours to increase enforcement.

Sgt. Rob Hall said he’s interested in the data, as he’s monitored the location several times to no avail.

“I suspect they drive down School Street, see me and don't turn down Park Terrace,” Hall wrote in an email.

Residents have also called for traffic cameras to snap photos of drivers, yet Essex Police Department doesn’t use such cameras, Chief Brad LaRose said, since drivers in Vermont must be identified before being issued a ticket.

If enforcement fails to stop the problem, resident Anne Whyte suggested narrowing the intersection of School Street and Park Terrace with a curb extension.

“My thought would be that you have it coming out so that cars entering Park Terrace the wrong way are actually forced onto the wrong side of the road. So it would be a doubly conscious decision — they’re seeing the signs, and they’re being forced over,” Whyte said.

A concrete barrier or a large pylon could provide a no-cost trial run, she added.

Whyte also said signage on School Street, which had read “no outlet,” should be more explicit.

“It may be wording that people don’t always take that seriously,” she said.

The village public works crew installed signs this week alerting drivers of penalties for the illegal turns: up to a $220 fine and two points on one’s license.

Village public works superintendent Rick Jones noted any structural remedies, like changes to the streetscape, would likely need to wait until construction finished at 4 Pearl St. It’s the second time the issue came before the board in recent months; the trustees deliberated a proposal to close the intersection back in June for a fourmonth trial run.

They nixed the plan after School Street residents said it would make getting home a dangerous venture, as they’d be forced to cross two lanes of traffic when turning in from School Street.

Until 25 years ago, Park Terrace was a two-way street. At the time, there were more school children in the area, so the current traffic pattern was put in place to stop drivers from using it as a short cut.

The trustees briefly discussed holding off on a study until people start moving into the Pearl Street building, but village resident Rick Hamlin said if it’s a problem now, it will remain so.

“The people who are using that area right now are people who know that neighborhood and know the route, because it’s not intrinsically clear if you turn right where you’re going to come out,” he said. “So the people who are going to do it are A, local, B, most likely repeaters.”

Vermont's famous landscape has done it again. This past weekend saw fabulous fall foliage throughout the state, prompting a growing wave of favorable reviews from veteran foresters, seasoned observers and visiting newcomers alike.

Indeed, the colorful foliage display in Vermont has been expansive and particularly vibrant this year.

“All stages of color development – early, mid, peak and just past peak – are now present across Vermont,” Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation commissioner Michael Snyder said. “With cooperating weather and a warming trend in the forecast, this year's fantastic display is not over yet.”

Even in regions that are enjoying full peak

color right now, there remains many green leaves still yet to turn, particularly on the oaks and aspens. Full leaf drop has not yet begun, with extensive stands of maples and birches still displaying many vibrant colors.

Current reports indicate several locations are still approaching full peak, including large areas of the Champlain and Connecticut River Valleys.

We expect excellent color, vibrancy and variety to continue through much of October in Vermont, with the upcoming weekend hovering around peak conditions for much of the state.

Students and staff are committed to specific actions to help support a positive school environment at ADL this school year.

Motivational speaker Colin Ryan presented at an all-school assembly September 23 to promote the theme of kindness, respect and accepting others. Ryan also recently spoke at the Vermont Middle Level Association’s Anti-Bullying Conference at UVM. The next PAWS meeting is scheduled for October 13 at 6:30 p.m.

Student-led conferences are October 19 and 20.

Parents can schedule a conference time through a link on the main page of our website. Students will be dismissed at noon

In language arts, students created a visual display to complement their book talk. Students prepared and presented a talk on a book they read at the beginning of the school year.

In math, students created mobiles to show their understanding of prime factorization. Prime fac-

torization involves breaking a composite number into a string of prime factors. Once the prime factorization of a number is found, it can be used for a variety of math tasks such as finding the least common multiple or simplifying fractions.

Students first made factor trees on paper to break down the composite number into its prime factors. They then created the factor trees using coat hangers, string and note cards. Students then displayed their mobiles from the ceiling of the classroom.

During the navigator team’s science portion, students are learning about the environment and the animals that live in it. Students began this study by classifying living and nonliving factors of an ecosystem.

Through work both outdoors and in the classroom, they were able to define and identify abiotic, or nonliving, and biotic, living factors. To culminate their work with the terms abiotic and biotic, each student created a collage using magazine pieces and scrap papers. They used this artistic medium to depict an abiotic or biotic aspect of their environment which will be displayed at our open house.

TOM LICATA FOR STATE SENATE

T

he election of November 8th presents two choices: Progressivism or Constitutionalism.

Established in Natural Law, Constitutionalism believes you possess Creator-endowed rights to your life, liberty and property which government is instituted to secure.

Progressivism rejects this for History’s evolution and the Planned Society. The individual replaced by the Common Good. The Laws of Nature and Nature’s God erased for the Common Good.

“Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State” defines totalitarian society: And this reveals the ends of Progressivism’s deceptive gradualism.

At Gettysburg, Lincoln called for a Constitutional rebirth – as we should now – when he said: “That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.”

This freedom’s at risk, as Progressivism and Constitutionalism are irreconcilable.

They hit the road to play SHS and then a big rematch in Hinesburg vs CVU on Saturday morning. The JVs blitzed the Falcons 6-0 and are 6-3.

The girls soccer team fell twice, 3-0 to CHS and 1-0 to NC by a penalty kick onSaturday. Essex has had trouble generating offense this fall, but they continue to work hard. Goalkeeper Yaz Nsame made five saves. They host CVU on Friday night for senior night. The JVs went 1-1 losing 1-0 to CHS and beating NC 4-1. They are 5-2-3.

The field hockey team chalked up its biggest win of the fall uby psetting previously unbeaten South Burlington 1-0. Senior Anna Singer banged in the game-winning goal to push the Hornets to 7-1-2 on the season. Dakota Allen and Sarah Coulter played well. Cassidy Reid made nine saves. It’s MMU and Mt. Abe this week. They own the state’s second seed. The JVs fell to CHS and South Burlington and play the same schedule. The JV B squad completed their season with a 0-0 tie against CVU, avenging two early season losses to the Red Hawks. Nice job girls and veteran Coach Abair. She handles the young Hornets very well.

The frosh girls, 9-0-2, continued their undefeated fall by dispatching BFA 4-0 and tying SB 3-3 last week. Aiden Bradshaw had two goals, Annalise Lubas one goal and one assist and Riley Fitzgerald one goal in the win over the Comets.

Against South Burlington, the Hornets were tied at 1 but fell behind by two goals early in the second half. They answered the call and responded with two goals to tie with 12 minutes in the game. Emma Legg snagged two goals with one assist, while Lubas and Kiki Keenan helped out with a goal and assist, respectively. They will look to keep things rolling against CVU this week. The boys went to 6-6 with 2 wins last week, 4-1 over BFA and 3-0 over SB . Stowe is the opponent Friday. Rookie coaches Abbott and Kranichfeld are doing a great job.

Girls volleyball defeated BHS 3-0 and Harwood 3-0 to continue to dominate Vermont competition. They’re now are 100. Matches this week against Middlebury and MMU. Four of the girls have been nominated for the all state volleyball team: Sabrina Liguori (defensive specialist), Charlotte Frivoll (libero), Lizzie Goodrich (middle hitter) and Kylie Acker (middle hitter). The boys beat BHS 3-1 and have this week off.

MLB playoffs have begun. A series, or two or three, might be over very soon. NFL and college games were exciting to view last weekend.

Happy Birthday to ex-Hornets Kadi Burroughs Luchsinger, Josh Lee, Jamie Kida and Kim Dvorak, as well as Megan Kuitems, Rachel Murphy and Sandy Moore. Anniversary wishes to Diane and Scott Slocum, Pavel and Lida Dvorak and Deb and Robin Hollwedell.

tellini well and stir them into the pancetta and sauce to coat them with sauce. Transfer the pasta to the baking dish.

Extremely Flaky Sour Cream Crust Ingredients

1 c. unbleached all-purpose flour ½ tsp. baking soda ¼ tsp. salt 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 16 pieces ¼ c. cold sour cream

Directions

To make the pastry in an electric mixer: Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter pieces and mix them with an electric mixer on low speed until the largest of the butter pieces are the size of small lima beans, about 1 minute.

The butter pieces will be different sizes, and there will still be some loose flour. Add the sour cream and continue mixing until large clumps of smooth dough that pull away from the sides of the bowl form, about 30 seconds. Stop the mixer and scrape the beaters clean, if needed.

To make the pastry by hand: Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Use a pastry blender, your fingertips or two dinner knives to combine the flour mixture and the butter until lima beansize pieces form. Add the sour cream and stir with a large spoon for about 2 minutes until clumps of smooth dough form.

Form the dough into a smooth ball, flatten it into a 6-inch disk, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.

You will see small pieces of butter in the dough.

This is good and contributes to the flaky texture.

The dough is now ready to roll and use in the recipe.

Makes 6 servings.

Conference covers women’s wellness

By PARKER THOMAS

L

ast Friday marked the 19th annual Women’s Health and Cancer Conference, hosted by The University of Vermont Cancer Center. The event took place at the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center in South Burlington, with events kicking off at 8 a.m.

Originally held in October to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the conference has since expanded to include topics about varying wellness topics, including how to detect a blood clot during and after treatment to how humor can help fight cancer.

According to the UVM Cancer Center, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women, followed by breast cancer and colorectal cancer, which caused 130, 93 and 75 deaths, respectively, in Vermont every year.

This year’s conference theme was “Your Heath: Putting Knowledge into Action.”

The Sheraton was buzzing with participants and exhibitors. Upon arriving, a table to sign up for Reiki through The Vermont Reiki Association was set up, while a host of other tables featured information and resources regarding treating and coping with cancer.

Gary Stein, director of the UVM Cancer Center, said the conference impacts the medical community – comprised of cancer patients, health care providers, cancer service areas

such as community advocates and legislators – and vice versa.

“It gives the cancer center an opportunity to be able to provide to the community,” Stein said. “It gives us a chance to share with them what a cancer center does from bench to bedside.

“What are the unanswered questions?” Stein asked. “How do we know what is really on the minds of people in our community?”

Attending the conference and participating in the sessions, Stein interacted with community members one on one, listening to their thoughts and questions.

“What is the objective of a cancer center?” Stein proposed. “Twenty five years ago, your answer would be to cure cancer. The objective today is not to cure cancer; it is to make cancer preventable, early detectable and a treatable disease.”

Part of the conference was a culinary demonstration by Kimberly Evans, a registered dietician with UVM Medical Center and Whole Health Nutrition in Winooski. Evans honed in on the idea of “food as medicine” when preparing a kale breakfast bowl for the audience.

In regards to nutrition in relation to cancer, Evans explained how certain chemicals in food induce cell death.

“Another thing we know is that some properties of food can influence blood flow to tumors and decrease the vascularization of tumor growth,” she said. “And in other

ways, we know that food just creates a protective environment, neutralizing free radicals and keeping healthy cells healthy.”

Throughout the demonstration, Evans explained the nutritional benefits of the ingredients she was using, while also addressing audience concerns about diabetes or thyroid issues. As a standard of practice when cooking nutritional yet enjoyable meals, Evans uses the acronym FASS: fat, acid, sweet and salt. As she created the breakfast bowl, she indicated where each component came into play.

Evans highlighted that nine servings of vegetables and fruits per day is critical for the body and underscored how “food is information that your cells read and respond to.”

How much constitutes one serving?, an audience member asked.

For vegetables, “one cup raw, a half cup cooked or a piece of fruit the size of a tennis ball,” Evans said succinctly.

To achieve nine servings a day every day, Evans follows another four-letter rule: soup, salad, stir-fry and smoothies.

The event was open to all members of the community, not just patients and survivors. While attendees did have to register for the event, there was no cost. The conference is held every October in alignment with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Five ways to fight breast cancer Want to join the fight against breast cancer?

Here are five ways to do a lot of good with a little – or a lot – of your time, your skills and your voice.

1

Volunteer your time

The American Cancer Society offers many programs that focus on the physical, social and emotional needs of people facing breast cancer. They include: Reach To Recovery: If you have survived breast cancer, you can train to become a Reach To Recovery volunteer who provides education and emotional support to others facing a diagnosis.

Look Good Feel Better:

This free, communitybased service teaches patients beauty techniques to help restore their appearance and self-image during cancer treatment.

Road To Recovery: Volunteer drivers in this program help cancer patients get to and from treatments.

2

Take part in research

Seek out a clinical trial or sign up to be part of a research project that could help those diagnosed with breast cancer in the future. People who have never had cancer can help, too. For example, the American Cancer Society has conducted multiple studies that examine cancer causes, prevention and survivorship issues in large groups of people.

3

Make your voice heard

Many battles in the fight against breast cancer happen in your local legislature as well as in Washington, DC. The American Cancer Society’s advocacy organization, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, can help you become informed about cancer issues and exercise your rights as a citizen to support the causes you feel passionate about.

4

Participate in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event raises millions of dollars every year to fund breast cancer research and provide information, services and access to mammograms for women who need them. You can help by walking in a Making Strides event and raising donations.

5

Take charge of your health

Although there's no surefire way to prevent breast cancer, certain lifestyle habits are linked to a lower risk of it developing or returning, like being physically active and eating a healthy diet. If you drink alcohol, limit how much you drink.

The risk of breast cancer in women is increased by several factors that cannot be easily changed: • Having your first period before age 12 • Not having children or having your first child after age 30 • Late age at menopause • Family history of breast cancer Other well-known risk factors include the use of menopausal hormone therapy and exposure of the breasts to radiation, especially at a young age. Both increased body weight and weight gain as an adult are linked with a higher risk of breast cancer after menopause. Alcohol also increases risk of breast cancer. Even low levels of alcohol intake have been linked with an increase in risk.

Many studies have shown that moderate to vigorous physical activity is linked with lower breast cancer risk. A diet that is rich in vegetables, fruit, poultry, fish and low-fat dairy products also has been linked with a lower risk of breast cancer in some studies. At this time, the best advice about diet and activity to possibly reduce the risk of breast cancer is to: • Get regular, intentional physical activity.

• Reduce excessive lifetime weight gain by limiting your calories and getting regular physical activity.

• Avoid or limit your alcohol intake.

To improve your diet and help manage your weight, American Cancer Society director of nutrition and physical activity Colleen Doyle suggests:

•Watching your portion sizes, particularly of foods and beverages high in calories and/or sugar •Using a salad plate instead of your dinner plate to help control your portions •Cutting back on sugar-sweetened beverages, the largest single source of added sugar in the diet •Including colorful vegetables and/or fruits in each meal and snack •Eating more whole grains – whole wheat bread, brown rice, oatmeal – instead of refined grains like white bread and pasta •Choosing fish, poultry and beans in place of red and processed meats These recomendations are inportant because right now, 63 percent of adults in this country are overweight, including 27 percent who are obese; 17 percent of children and adolescents are obese, and our poor diets (and physically inactive lifestyles) contribute to 4 out of the 7 leading causes of death in this country, including cancer.

Doyle said if you don’t smoke, watching your weight, eating well and being active are the most important things you can do to reduce your risk of cancer. And eating more vegetables, fruits and whole grains and less sugar, red and processed meats is a huge step in the right direction.
