Downtown bridge work is top project

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury residents this spring and summer will experience the first of several strong doses of construction work that will cause some temporary inconveniences but some long-term upgrades to the town’s infrastructure. The “main event” will be a $52 million project to replace the Main Street and Merchants Row rail bridges with a 350-foot-long concrete tunnel. That massive project is tentatively slated to get under way next spring, but downtown merchants, travelers and shoppers will get a sneak preview beginning next month. That’s when work crews will begin installing temporary spans at the Main Street and Merchants Row locations. It’s a project that will require some detours and some long-term changes in downtown traffic options. For example, the Main Street temporary span will result in Printer’s Alley being relegated to pedestrian access until the final bridge work (See Middlebury, Page 32)

Storm slams Addison lakefront

By ANDY KIRKALDY ADDISON — Scattered thunderstorms and high winds struck the northern half of Addison County on Thursday evening, causing some damage to property and trees. Nowhere were their effects felt like they were in the Addison lakeside neighborhood of Potash Bay, where

winds blew a home off its foundation, lifted a pickup truck over a barn, ripped roofing and siding off another estimated 10 homes, and tore down power and phone lines. And hail of at least a half-inch in diameter dented vehicles and broke their windows and that of homes, (See Storm, Page 30)

Bristol sewer and water rates to go up July 1 By GAEN MURPHREE BRISTOL — Bristol water and sewer rates will go up July 1 — water by a single-digit percentage, sewer by double digits. Current water rates have been in place since 2013. “At a certain point if you don’t increase rates you’re just kicking that can down the road,” explained Town Administrator Therese Kirby. “Prices go up because of inflation, electricity goes up, supply rates go up, your contract terms go up. Things increase. So rates need to increase to cover the operation and maintenance of the system.” At its May 15 meeting, the selectboard voted to raise water rates by 7 percent. It also discussed the possibility of increasing the water rates every year based on the consumer price index, said Kirby.

“The selectboard in enues were adequate to their capacity as sewer “The majority of cover the full cost of and water commission- the selectboard providing water service ers works hard to keep are water to the community. the expenses down,” district users The study deterKirby said. “The ma- and understand mined that a “slight jority of the selectincrease in rates would how difficult it board are water district have been necessary” users and understand can be to have even without last year’s how difficult it can be rate increases.” $1.1 million bond to to have rate increases.” — Therese Kirby make upgrades and exThe 7 percent hike tend town water.

Farmers could face fine for illegal tree-cutting By ANDY KIRKALDY FERRISBURGH — The Vorsteveld Farm could technically be fined up to $1,088,000 for cutting down 1,870 trees and shrubs with trunks of less than six inches in diameter and another 306 trees with larger trunks, all along a 0.75-mile stretch of Ferrisburgh’s Arnold Bay Road, according to Ferrisburgh Tree Warden Clifton Mix. Mix included those calculations in a May 16 letter to the selectboard that the board reviewed at its meeting that evening. The tree warden said those numbers were based on an inventory that he conducted on May 10 of clear-cutting the Vorstevelds had done earlier in the town right-of-way along Arnold Bay Road.

According to Vermont law, landowners may not cut trees in a town right-of-way without first receiving permission from a town tree warden, and the fine is up to $500 per tree for “any person who willfully critically injures or cuts down a public shade tree without written permission of a tree warden or legislative body of the municipality.” Mix concluded that the Vorsteveld Farm should be fined and required to fix the damage. “Therefore, I recommend a monetary penalty as well as full rehabilitation of the area affected. Full rehabilitation shall include stumping and cleanup/removal of all stumps and woody debris and the installation of an appropriate species to establish an aesthetic hedgerow occupy(See Trees, Page 3)

The selectboard raised sewer rates 20 percent. The Bristol sewer system runs for about two blocks along South Street and Main Street. On South Street the sewer line runs roughly from the South Street Bridge to the intersection with West Street. On Main Street, the sewer line runs roughly from the intersection with North/South streets east to Mountain Street. The town leachfield is at the bottom of Basin Street, alongside the New Haven River. Kirby said 34 properties are tied into the town sewer system. Minimum sewer charge will go from $144.50 per quarter to $173.28 per quarter for up to 100 gallons of average dairy flow (ADF). The town usage charge: from $60 to $72 per quarter. The town usage surcharge: from $120 to $144 per quarter.

Welch: GOP representatives ‘concerned’ Congressman questions President’s competence By MICHELLE MONROE St. Albans Messenger ST. ALBANS — Speaking from Washington last Wednesday afternoon, Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., said the revelation that President Donald Trump may have asked former FBI Director James Comey to drop an investigation into a former member of his administration has “ratcheted up concern” in the House of Representatives. “The President is responsible for enforcing the law, not suppressing the investigation,” said Welch, who spoke with the St. Albans Messenger before the appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as a special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and related matters. Welch, a member of the House Oversight Committee, said there was undisputed intelligence regarding

Bridport, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics “We want to thank Dave and everyone at Bristol Electronics for our new solar installation. It looks great on the roof. We had talked to your installers at a job they were doing up the road from us. They were extremely friendly and very willing to answer our questions. We had been thinking of solar and our visit with them cinched it. Dave came out to see our house, collect the information he needed, and explain how everything would work. The installation was so fast. Just love watching the arrow on the meter go the other way! Thanks again, Leighton & Linda Riley – Bridport

The usage charge is applied to every 100 gallons of flow per day up to the user’s allocated ADF limit. The usage surcharge is applied to every 100 gallons of daily flow in excess of the user’s allocated ADF limit. Looking ahead, Kirby also that the selectboard is considering a proposal for the fiscal year 2019 budget to allocate $2,500 from the town’s General Fund to its Sewer Capital Fund. Such a request would then come before voters at town meeting. “All town residents need Main Street to be vital,” said Kirby. “We all go to the restaurants, we all go to the shops and use the bathrooms, etc. So it seems that it would be a smart way to help because there are only 34 users and it’s just difficult to continue to pass on the cost to just these 34 users.”

Sergey Kislyak. Welch noted that in addition to Comey, Trump has also fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who had alerted his administration to Flynn’s deception regarding the nature of his conversations with Kislyak. “Congress is deeply divided,” said Welch, making an independent investigation into the allegations of Russian ties of various members of the Trump administration, campaign and transition team, necessary. His committee was scheduled to hear from Comey this week, and Welch said he wanted that testimony to be public. It is unclear at this point if the trajectory of Congressional investigations will change given Mueller’s appointment. Also of concern is Trump’s competence, and not just for Democrats, “That according to Comey Welch. memo He said his certainly R e p u b l i c a n disturbs colleagues have expressed me, and concern the it has the White House is whiff of “ p r e o c c u p i e d obstruction with a five-alarm of justice.” fire every day.” — Rep. All of the Peter Welch attention on the White House and its crises is frustrating Republicans in Congress who want to focus on their agenda, Welch observed. The most recent crisis arose when The New York Times revealed the existence of a memo written by Comey detailing a meeting with Trump at which the president allegedly asked Comey to drop his investigation into Flynn. “That Comey memo certainly disturbs me, and it has the whiff of obstruction of justice,” said Welch. Trump has also drawn criticism for revealing classified information to Kislyak and the Russian foreign (See Welch, Page 3)

Welch (Continued from Page 2) minister Sergey Lavrov. The president does have the legal authority to disclose that information, said Welch. “But should he?” Such disclosures should be made based on whether it will enhance or diminish national security, said Welch. Critics have argued the disclosure compromised U.S. access to intelligence gathered by allies. “That appeared to me to be a competence question,” said Welch. The Congressman noted that many of his Republican colleagues come from districts where the president remains popular. That “creates political problems for them,” said Welch. As voters become more concerned, Welch said he expects House members will follow suit. Along with his Republican colleagues, Welch doesn’t want Trump to be the sole focus of conversation. “I don’t want the Democrats to be spending all their time on Trump,” he said. Welch did not issue a press release after Mueller was appointed special counsel. The Democrats should continue to work on rebuilding the middle class and issues such as the economy, infrastructure and health care, in Welch’s view.

Ferrisburgh Selectboard Chairwoman Loretta Lawrence said she would ask the Vorstevelds to a selectboard meeting to discuss the issue again. At an earlier meeting they said they wanted to extend crops closer to the road and discussed the possibility of tree plantings, and Lawrence said she did not believe they were aware of the law. “I think we’re going to invite them to our next board meeting, because people are complaining,” she said. In other business at their May 16 meeting, board members: • Discussed their recent town plan hearing, but did not set a date for a required second hearing. Lawrence said board members are still researching how and why a small area along the east side of Route 7 near Lewis Creek that had been mapped commercial was now in a rural zone. A planner at the town plan hearing could not clarify the issue, and the plan itself seems to contradict the map. Lawrence said the board is keeping an open mind about the change in case there is a strong rationale buried in the minutes, but that research has yet to uncover one. • Met with Treasurer Deb Healey

A D D IS ON INDE P E NDEN T

Guest editorial Real voter fraud: Suppresing and denying the right to vote By Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos I’ve never been known to sugarcoat things, so I’m going to be frank. Recent events are causing increasing concerns that our democracy is in peril. Let me explain. Voting is the foundation of our democracy. Since my first day as Secretary of State, and before that as a State Senator, I’ve worked to encourage voter participation by breaking down barriers to ensure eligible Vermont citizens are able to vote. First, let me say I am proud to live in a state where our focus is on increasing access to the ballot box. To this end, we’ve made great progress in Vermont. In January, we implemented same-day voter registration, making it easier for Vermonters to register and vote on Election Day. Also in January, with the Department of Motor Vehicles, we implemented automatic voter registration — when an eligible voter receives/ renews their license at the DMV they are either registered to vote, or their registration updates their current address, providing for more accurate voter lists and even greater election integrity. Both same-day and automatic voter registration passed Vermont’s legislature with strong tripartisan support, and I was proud to initiate and support these important objectives. Here’s the point: because voting is the foundation of our democracy, government has a responsibility to make voting easy and accessible for every eligible voter. Unfortunately, across this country, we are seeing an increased erosion of voting rights in many states. I am deeply troubled by the announcement that the President signed an executive order establishing a commission to review alleged voter fraud in our elections. Since the 2016 election, President Trump has made repeated unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud. Credible studies have shown over and over again that widespread voter fraud simply does not exist; election officials from across the country, Democrat and Republican, agree. So why the brazen claims of widespread voter fraud? I believe these unproven claims are an effort to set the stage to weaken and skew our democratic process through a systematic national effort of voter suppression and intimidation. Let’s be honest: the real voter fraud that is occurring is the active campaign to roll back voting rights. The President’s unsubstantiated claims have emboldened these efforts. Photo ID laws, like those in Texas, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Alabama, force citizens to travel over 100 miles to their closest DMV, even though they might be poor, disabled, or unable to drive. Other states have also pursued enactment of some form of voter ID law, many of which have been found by the courts to be outright unconstitutional. Restrictions on early voting periods, limiting access, due to distance or time, to registration and voting locations, and overly aggressive purging of eligible voters from voter rolls are all examples of ways in which some states are suppressing voter participation and discouraging certain eligible voters from having a voice in elections. These attacks on voting rights have a sole aim: to disenfranchise lower-income, student, senior and minority voters. It’s that simple, and the courts have started to recognize this. The fact that Vice President Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach have been announced as Chair and Vice Chair of this commission confirms my worst fears. Both are unabashed supporters of restrictive voter ID laws, as they exaggerate claims of voter fraud. Secretary Kobach has championed some of the most restrictive voting laws in the country. The leadership of this commission is a clear prelude to what I expect to be a reinvigorated nationwide campaign promoting strict voter suppression laws and voter intimidation. How do we fight back? We start at home and lead by example. Automatic voter registration is a system every state, regardless of the party in power, can and should support. Everyone should stand behind generous early voting periods and ample registration opportunities right up to, and even on the same day as an election. Our Vermont elections will continue to put voters first. In the coming months and years ahead, we need leaders to stand up and denounce these attacks on our democratic ideals. We must make decisions about how we conduct our elections based on facts, not fear. We cannot allow the President’s unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud scare us into unravelling the threads of our democratic process. We must continue to move forward, not backwards — our democracy is at stake.

Letters to the Editor Creative solutions needed for rail bridge disruption The railroad bridge project in downtown Middlebury is going to happen. There is no way around it and we must accept (serious) shortterm inconveniences and impact for long-term good and, of paramount importance, safety. How about the complaining stops and the creativity kicks in? At risk of sounding naïve in a complex situation, let’s at least think about, for example: • Temporary parking areas on each side of town, with continuous shuttle service through town and

across the College campus. • Close Main Street during heavy construction periods and create a pedestrian mall. • Institute a yellow bike program in the downtown area. Create bike lanes to encourage people to ride and walk rather than drive. Encourage walking and biking in good weather. • Pop-up stores for those impacted Main Street shops — perhaps in the new park mid-day and (fee-free) at the Farmer’s Market, which will now be out of the cen-

tral downtown fray. It is going to be tough, but we don’t have to make it even more difficult. Let’s turn the ‘ghost town’ into a tourist attraction with the kind of energy the Town Hall Theater has shown to address downtown challenges. I work with over 1,000 college students and their families over the summer — let’s find mutually beneficial ways to keep them going downtown. Elizabeth Karnes Keefe West Cornwall

Hib vaccine was introduced in 1985, the number of cases has dropped by about 99 percent, making Hib disease a rare occurrence today. A person’s perception of risk is directly influenced by their life experience. Parents want to protect their children, and vaccine risks may seem higher when they have no personal experience with vaccine preventable diseases. I’ve seen children acutely ill with meningitis and measles, and lost a cousin to polio at age 17. I’ve experienced firsthand the damage that a disease like polio can do, and value the lifesaving power of vaccines. In Vermont, most parents choose to vaccinate, and lawmakers support prevention. In the first year since legislation was passed to increase immunization rates among children, there was a two percent reduction in exemptions for non-medical reasons. If you want to find out more about your school or childcare’s immunization rates, go to www.healthvermont.gov/immunizations. The most effective public health advances follow policy change and education. Now our job is to maintain the protective barrier that high vaccination rates have built around Vermont’s children and continue to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. And, if you believe in vaccination, as most Vermonters do, speak up.

Letters to the Editor Hummingbirds and engineers are asking questions A hummingbird, with bright ruby throat, just tapped on the kitchen window. It seemed to say “Hi, we are back so get out the feeders. And remember it is one part sugar and four parts hot water to mix then cool it before putting it in feeders” Some might say that there are a lot of flowers on trees and plants so feeding hummingbirds is not needed. But, what are we to do when they tell us that they would like to be fed?

So, what else can we do, Especially when George the bird is back for the 4th year in a row? He is the one in summers past who tapped on the window when the feeders ran dry. Meanwhile, in Middlebury, with the railroad bridges, has there been an engineering study of MTF (Meantime to Failure)? Or, how soon can we expect them to collapse? Which produces the next question: when one collapses

under a heavy LP gas truck, how long will it take to get organized with all the different options, to get going on replacing a bridge then, and then to get it done and traffic going? Peter Grant Bristol

K.I.C.K.S. to sponsor women’s biz expo MIDDLEBURY — Master Kellie Thomas, owner and head instructor of K.I.C.K.S., is always looking for ways to help empower women through her Taekwondo classes and special self-defense workshops. Recently, Thomas decided to look into promoting and supporting other local women business owners. Vermont is always so proud of their small businesses and local grown products, but she hadn’t seen much geared specifically

towards the many women who run businesses and felt it was something worth spotlighting. The result: Thomas organized a local women business owner expo on Sunday June 4, at the Middlebury Town Gym from 1:30-4:30 p.m. Hosted by Taekwondo K.I.C.K.S., the event is free and open to the public. Thirty-five vendors will display and sell their products and services, which include sweets, clothing, landscaping, photography, toys, art therapy, and more.

A raffle for items from vendors and other donations will take place as part of the event. Tickets can be purchased before and at the event. You do not have to be present to win. Proceeds from the expo are being split between WomenSafe and Taekwondo K.I.C.K.S. women self-defense scholarship fund. To purchase tickets, or for more information about the event please contact Master Kellie Thomas at tkdkicks101@yahoo.com.

Renovation (Continued from Page 6) most used room in the school period,” he said. “It’s in use from 5:30 in the morning until 9 o’clock at night for about six months of the year.” Mount Abe physical education and health teacher Dustin Corrigan provided a teacher’s eye view. “Compared to a pool, a gym gives so many more options for what you can do for a physical activity,” he said. He also explained that in the real world, no matter how carefully teachers prep, kids don’t bring their swimsuits. So what happens when important public functions claim the gym and the pool’s the only option? “I can tell you right now six of the last seven days between the safety fair, the fine arts fest and the blood drive we haven’t had the gym space and so we’ve had to use the pool for classes. And there’s classes where we have 30 kids coming to us and only five of them bring suits. That’s difficult, that’s really difficult.” Paradee, a Bristol resident and Champlain Valley Union High School educator, said consideration of a pool goes beyond simply teaching students. “You’d use a second gym 90 percent more than you’d use a pool,” he said. “But the community is very, very adamant about keeping the pool for outside-of-school-day use.” LEARN FROM OTHERS The committee plans to visit Vermont schools of a similar size that are also grades 7-12 and that have

been renovated in the past 15 years. Those schools could include Harwood, Enosburg, Vergennes, Otter Valley, Missisquoi and U-32. Pearsall said the visits would give committee members a chance to learn from other school buildings and learn from other schools’ experiences. “We’re going to try to learn from everyone else’s mistakes and take what they found works really well and say, ‘OK, well we can model that but, oh, that didn’t work well,’” she said. “We can take their advice and make it into what would work best for us.” The committee also decided that one of the most effective ways to move forward would be to have a small subgroup, made up of Reen, Mount Abe Principal Jessica Barewicz, ANeSU Facilities Manager Alden Harwood and Mount Abe Facilities Manager Mike Kenyon, meet with Dore and Whittier. The sub-group (armed with an up-to-date list of repairs and renovations already completed

since 2014) would confer with DW to come up with different renovation scenarios at different price points. The larger committee could then consider these differing scenarios. Dore and Whittier “did the original concepts. They’ve already got that design done, so it’s easy for them to pull and push and change things and give us a rough guesstimate or bring back a concept that the committee wants to investigate further and actually go out for a bid on,” said Pearsall. “We’re trying to look as far forward as possible so that the school is ready for whatever comes its way. We don’t want another committee to have to do this in 10 years. So to the best of our ability we want to make sure that the school is set for a good long time just like it has been since it was built.” To learn more, go to the Mount Abe Rev Up Project Facebook page or to the ANeSU website.

paint and photography. Gridley says, “A Few True Things is a collection of paintings about objects and space. Objects have personality: a stout pitcher is a broad breasted person holding secrets, a pewter plate is a man from the American Civil War, a ribbed cup is a mid-western grandmother beating an egg with a fork. Groupings of objects might represent a group of characters, posed or in conversation. The spaces between, the cast shadows (concrete shapes in and of themselves), hold emotion.” Gridley maintains a studio in Middlebury, where she has lived and painted full time since 1991. Gridley’s exhibit, “A Few True Things,” is on display at Edgewater on the Green, 6 Merchants Row in Middlebury, until the end of the month.

It was one of his largest and last works. This exhibit recounts the history of that commission and the history of the America’s Cup races, before and since. The second exhibit, “Sabra Field, Now and Then: A Retrospective,” is located in the Christian A. Johnson Memorial Gallery. On the occasion of Sabra Field’s 60th Middlebury reunion, this retrospective exhibition explores the depth and diversity of her six decades as a printmaker.

The show is a lively presentation of her quilt-making journey. Helfter will discuss her thoughts on the design process as it unfolds in 20-minute increments in the midst

of the chaos of running a home and raising three small children. She will also talk about how a quilt can be a thing of beauty even without matching seams and perfect points, and the many joys of bringing her designs to the masses, discovering that they often can become converts to the freeing idea that “perfection is overrated.” Guest fee is $5.

Porter Medical Center is now part of the University of Vermont Health Network. By investing in our community to keep care local and keep people healthy, we’re working together to improve the lives in Addison County. And by forming stronger relationships with other physicians, specialists, and health care professionals in the network to bring the best care possible closer to home, we’re strengthening the relationships that matter most – the ones we have with patients. That’s the power of the network. That’s the heart and science of medicine.

Students of the Week from area High Schools Middlebury Union High School

Vergennes Union High School

Middlebury Union High School is pleased to introduce Charlotte Keathley of Cornwall as its Student of the Week. Charlotte is the daughter of Beth and Christian Keathley and will soon graduate from MUHS after, using her words, “four rewarding years.” Teachers value Charlotte’s genuine sense of academic inquiry and her contributions in the classroom. A well-rounded student, Charlotte loves science and is a talented writer. She will enroll at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., in the fall. Charlotte has spent time volunteering at Shelburne Farms as part of the “Steward in Training” program. She has loved her involvement in the children’s farmyard and working closely with the animals. She traveled to Iowa City, Iowa, last summer and enrolled in the Iowa Young Writers Workshop, where she immersed herself in the written word for two weeks. She delved into poetry, fiction and prose while participating in the program and loved every moment of the experience. Academically, Charlotte has pursued a rigorous curriculum at Charlotte Keathley MUHS and credits her science teacher, Cindy Atkins, as being a MUHS mentor and inspiring teacher. She took both Chemistry I and II with Ms. Atkins and found the subject matter fascinating. She says her AP Environmental Science course, with field trips to New Hampshire, were engaging. and the hands-on learning made the class dynamic. She’s taken two classes at Middlebury College: Introduction to Creative Writing and Environmental Writing. Both provided her with the opportunity to further expand on her love of composition. Reading is a passion of Charlotte’s, and she especially enjoyed reading Charles Dickens in her literature class. MUHS is fortunate to have Charlotte as a member of the tennis team. She plays singles for the Tigers. She also serves as a Peer Leader and has enjoyed mentoring the ninth-graders during their first year at the high school. She plans to spend time this summer with her sister, who has just completed her first year at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., hiking and traveling. They’ll spend time in Nova Scotia and exploring Vermont’s famed Long Trail. Together they’ll work on a short film documentary on a young person’s perspective of hiking the Long Trail. Charlotte has been an active and engaged member of the MUHS community and she will be sorely missed when she graduates. We know she has a bright future ahead of her and wish her well!

Vergennes Union High School is pleased to recognize Lauren Scott as its Student of the Week. Lauren lives in Vergennes with her parents, Misty and Jay Scott. She has two older half-siblings, Tyler and Kirstin. Lauren made honor roll each quarter here at VUHS including several high honors recognitions. She earned two German awards, one freshman year and one junior year, a digital photography award junior year, and the Xerox Award for Innovation and Information Technology from the University of Rochester in her junior year. This past December, Lauren submitted a few photographs as part of an international photography contest and was a finalist. The photo is to be published in Best of College and High School Photography 2017. For all four years of high school Lauren has been in pep band and queer-straight alliance. Lauren has also been in yearbook each year and was the co-editor this year. Lauren has been on the light and sound crew for the musical for all of high school and most of middle school, and has been the captain for the past two years. Lauren is Lauren Scott also a member of the math team. VUHS Outside of school Lauren works at Small City Market. She has worked on the Ferrisburgh Children’s Theater production every March since 2015. Lauren started volunteering at the Bixby Library in February of 2016. She also ran the sound and helped with lights for the VUMS play last year, and she has run the sound and helped with the lights on the VUES plays for the past two years. Lauren’s biggest hobby is composing music. Recently two of her songs were performed at the VUHS Spring Concert, and she describes it as “the highlight of my life.” Laurens says, “My high school experience has shown me how similar I am to other people in ways that I never thought. I have learned how to better communicate with people, and how to lead and help others. I’ve realized these past four years that I want to encourage others. I see so much judgment and misunderstanding all the time, and I want to be someone that stops that and someone that people can trust and look up to.” Following graduation from VUHS, Lauren plans to attend the Plymouth State University and study Music Education and, most likely, Music Tech. The faculty, staff and students of VUHS wish Lauren the very best in the future.

need to.” Indra Khatiwoda of Essex lived in Bhutan and then Nepal before arriving in Vermont. The 37-yearold has found work at the Global Foundries computer chip factory and also works in school transportation. Standing outside with his family following the ceremony, Khatiwoda said there was nowhere else he’d rather be. “This is a safe place,” he said. “Right now, I’m going home to celebrate.” Following the administration of the Oath of Allegiance, Neshobe fifth- and sixth-grade students sang songs and recited the preamble to the Constitution of the United States: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,

insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” The event featured musical performances from the Maiden Vermont a capella chorus and Francois Clemmons, a professor emeritus at Middlebury College, led the room in a rendition of Woody Guthrie’s classic American folk song “This Land is Your Land.” Clemmons sang the first two verses, then looked up at the crowd before him and smiled. “Why don’t you sing it with me?” he said. Then the room all sang together.

In high school lax

Tiger teams land in the win column ADDISON COUNTY — In local high school lacrosse late last week, the Middlebury girls remained unbeaten, the MUHS boys split two games, the Otter Valley boys came up short, and the Mount Abraham/ Vergennes girls’ and boys’ teams each lost. Teams are entering their final week of regular season play. MUHS GIRLS On Friday, the Tiger girls dismissed visiting Essex, 16-1, to improve to 13-0 heading into a Tuesday game at 12-1 South Burlington in which the Tigers can lock down the No. 1 seed in Division I. Leading the attack vs. Essex were Ada Anderson and Emily Laframboise (three goals and two assists each), Ella Nagy-Benson (three goals and an assist), and Lacey Greenamyre and Kate Donahue (two goals apiece). Goalie Raven Payne stopped three shots, a total matched (See Lacrosse, Page 19)

MUHS, VUHS compete in five-team track meet By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Union High School athletes won 11 events on this past Wednesday, including a sweep of all six relay races, when they hosted an invitational meet at Middlebury College’s Dragone Track.

Vergennes athletes placed in the top six in seven events at a meet also attended by Champlain Valley, Essex and Missisquoi. The CVU boys scored 215 points to win the meet, with the Tigers edging Essex for second, 168.5 to 166.5. Missisquoi (33) and VUHS

(25) rounded out the field. The Essex girls won with 225.99 points, followed by CVU (162.5), MUHS (133), MVU (56) and VUHS (13.5). Although not credited because of a scoring glitch that did not include the fastest girls’ 100-meter heat in

the final results, Tiger junior Chloe Kane won both the girls’ 100- and 200-meter races. Kane also ran on the winning four-by-100-meter relay team. Junior Helen Anderson prevailed in the girls’ 800. On the boys’ side senior Damien (See Track & field, Page 18)

Eagle nine falls to SB by one run By ANDY KIRKALDY BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School baseball team scored the first three and final two runs vs. visiting South Burlington on Saturday and outhit the Rebels, 12-5, but came up just short on the scoreboard, 6-5. The Eagles fell to 6-8, but are still well positioned for a home playoff game in Division II, which has only five teams with winning records. Coach Jeff Stetson said the Eagles believe they’ve got a good shot at a second straight D-II title, and they will enter the tournament this year with a better record than 2016’s 5-11. But he said in the postseason they probably cannot afford to leave 12 men on base and allow three unearned runs, as they did on Saturday. “There are some really good teams out there in D-II this year that have

some really strong pitching, so we’ve got to eliminate mistakes,” Stetson said. “But I think we’re all hopeful we can make another run. These guys all have that in the memory bank from last year.” But he said it felt like Saturday’s game got away. “We didn’t make the plays we needed to,” Stetson said. “We had the right hitters up with guys on base, and they didn’t get the hits for us they’ve been getting. You have days like that, I guess.” In the Eagle first, Mount Abe scored just once on three walks and two hits allowed by South Burlington starter John Thibeault. A double play turned by third baseman Sam Premsagar deflated the rally, but Coleman Russell’s infield hit scored Dustin Whitcomb, who had also singled. The Eagles made it 3-0 in the second. Catcher Jared Forand and George Bailey singled, and Forand and courtesy runner Greg Ouellette moved up on a Whitcomb groundout and scored on shortstop Chris Wood’s two-out single. The Eagle defense was sharp behind

Bailey on the mound early. Forand caught a runner stealing, and Wood and second baseman Wyatt Gendreau turned a double play. But in the fourth South Burlington leadoff hitter Noah Barton reached on an error, stole second and scored on Premsagar’s single. Premsagar stole second, moved to third on a groundout, and scored on a James Patrick sacrifice fly to make it 3-2. In both the fourth and fifth innings, now with Eamon Sheridan on the mound, the Eagles were frustrated. In the fourth, Bailey tripled with one out, but courtesy runner Ouellette was tagged out when Whitcomb missed a squeeze bunt. Whitcomb and Wood then singled, but Sheridan worked out of trouble. In the fifth, Gendreau singled, but SB catcher Danny Terhune threw him out stealing. James Patrick, who earned the win, came on to pitch and walked one batter and hit the next, but escaped the jam. In the sixth, Bailey walked the first two batters. They eventually scored on a Premsagar single to give SB a 4-3 lead.

A grounder got the first out of the inning, and then the Eagles dropped an infield popup. The Rebel’s fifth and sixth runs scored on a Connor McGrath sacrifice fly and a Terhune single. The Eagles got runners on second and third with one out in the sixth on a walk and an error, but could not score. Bailey (seven innings, five hits, four walks, two Ks) then set SB down in order in the seventh. “George pitched outstanding,” Stetson said Then the Eagles rallied. Russell beat out an infield hit, and Ouellette walked. Premsagar, who relieved Patrick in the sixth and earned a save, got the next two hitters, but Bailey doubled to center to make it 6-5. Then Whitcomb drilled an opposite-field shot to left, but too close to the fielder and the comeback fell short. “Probably the best part of today is that in the seventh inning we came back,” Stetson said. “And if that ball is five feet further down the line it’s a tie ballgame with the winning run on second base with our No. 3 hitter coming up.”

ADDISON COUNTY — In high school softball late last week, Middlebury, Otter Valley and Mount Abraham each split two games, while Vergennes dropped a pair. This week brings the end of the regular season. TIGERS On Thursday the Tigers blanked host Spaulding, 7-0, as Payton Buxton tossed a complete-game three-hitter, striking out 13. Buxton’s three hits included two doubles, and Lily Smith doubled and singled twice for the Tigers. On Saturday, visiting Missisquoi improved to 13-1 by edging the Tigers, 7-5. The T-Birds reached Buxton for 13 hits, but she walked none and fanned nine. MUHS can apparently

nail down a top-four seed in Division I with wins at St. Albans on Tuesday and at home vs. Burlington on Wednesday. OTTERS On this past Wednesday, the Otters defeated host Windsor, 8-5, when Gabby Poalino slugged a three-run homer in the sixth inning to snap a 5-5 tie. Courtney Bushey earned the win, allowing seven hits and five walks and striking out 11. Bushey also poked two hits. Windsor dropped to 1-13. On Friday, D-I title contender Mount Anthony thumped OV, 19-0. Poalino had the only hit as the Otters’ record evened at 6-6. EAGLES On Thursday the Eagles took a big lead over visiting Milton before a

thunderstorm forced the game to be suspended. Milton elected to forfeit rather than return on Friday. On Saturday, the Eagles were held to three hits as visiting South Burlington improved to 10-4 with a 17-1 victory. Rachael McCormick took the pitching loss. COMMODORES In a game begun on Thursday and finished on Friday, visiting Colchester (13-1) scored 14 runs in the first inning in a 16-2 win over VUHS. For VUHS, Sarah Rathbun doubled and scored on a Xzavia Berry single, and Taylor Bresnick singled in Berry. Megan Tarte also doubled. On Saturday, visiting Essex pounded out a 20-4 win as VUHS dropped to 2-11.

Track & field (Continued from Page 16) won the 200, Ross Crowne prevailed in the 800, and Josh Girard won the triple jump and came in second in the long jump; all three set personal

bests in each event. Coach Ed Blechner was pleased to see his veterans do well, but also noted that younger athletes like sophomore Nanja Horning and freshmen Anthony Garner, Isabel Olson and Annie Lapiner were among those who placed in events. “We’ve got some younger kids who are doing really well,” he said. At times the talented Tiger relay teams have let miscues slow them, but Blechner hopes Wednesday is evidence of progress. “We’ve made some mistakes that have hurt us, dropping the batons, false starts, that kind of thing. But hopefully we’ve put that behind us,” he said. With the Division II championship meet not far off, Blechner said it is time for the entire team

to buckle down and see how well it can perform. “I’m just hoping in the next couple of weeks we put things together for the state meet,” he said. VUHS coach Brad Castillo’s team was coming off a strong performance at Fair Haven this previous weekend. His reliable senior trio of runners Sadie Kass and Megan Rooney and thrower Brandon Cousino all performed well on Wednesday, although Rooney’s exact placing in the 100 was lost in the timing glitch.

Eagles, Otters win games

ADDISON COUNTY — In high school baseball late last week, only Otter Valley and Mount Abraham earned victories. Teams wrap up their regular seasons this week. OTTERS On Wednesday, host D-I Hartford rallied for a 6-5 win over the Otters. The 8-3 Hurricanes rallied from a 5-3 deficit against starter Nate Hudson and reliever Angelo McCullough in the seventh and scored the winning run on a bases-loaded walk. The Otters scored three in the fourth on a Derek Aines two-run double and Colby McKay’s RBI single, and later added runs on a wild pitch and Daniel Allen’s RBI hit. On Friday, host Bellows Falls topped the Otters, 4-1. Payson Williams allowed five hits in taking the loss. OV is 7-6. EAGLES In a game completed on Friday, the Eagles rallied past Milton, 6-4. Milton led, 2-0, when a thunderstorm struck on Thursday. Adam Whitcomb had RBIs in the third and in the Eagles’ four-run fifth. He

started and pitched three innings, and Dustin Whitcomb pitched the final four innings for the win. The Eagles moved to 6-7 heading into Saturday’s home game (see story on Page 16). TIGERS On Thursday, Spaulding’s Nick Blow tossed a two-hitter to outduel Wyatt Cameron as the Tide defeated the Tigers, 3-1.

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society Gotti 6 years, American Staffordshire mix, neutered male. Gotti came to us from a shelter in Rochester, NY, where he was found as an emaciated stray. This handsome guy is mellow, friendly and very sweet. He walks very well on a leash and loves to receive plenty of comforting pets! At his previous shelter, the staff wrote that he got along well with another dog in their play yard, but only after they were introduced to each other very slowly. Therefore, it will be necessary for his new family to allow Gotti the time he needs to get to know potential dog friends. Trevor 3 years, Boxer mix, neutered male. Trevor travelled all the way from San Antonio, Texas to find a new home in VT This young guy is super sweet and friendly; he is good with other dogs and loves everyone he meets! He is high energy and would do best in a home where he would get daily exercise and playtime, but he knows how to settle down when appropriate. Trevor has done very well with the kids he has met here at the shelter but does seem rather interested in cats, so proper introductions are a must. Trevor would make a great companion for most families!

Homeward Bound

Tip of the Week It’s spring — the time of year when, among other wonderful things, young animals appear in the wild. It is tempting to try to approach these young ones, or if we see a young animal alone, to assume it may be lost or injured and in need of help. However, it is important to resist these impulses and keep your distance. Why? It is against the law to take a wild animal into captivity, even one you suspect is sick, injured or abandoned. Bringing young wildlife into a human environment may result in premature separation from their mothers, preventing their ability to thrive and possibly their very survival. Many wildlife species will not feed or care for their young when people are close by. Handling wildlife may also pose a threat to you as some animals may transmit diseases. While some animals that carry rabies, parasites or other harmful

diseases may act sick and thus warn you not to approach, others may look healthy and still be carriers of the rabies virus, particularly raccoons, foxes, skunks and bats. Angry wildlife mothers also pose a risk to humans. These animals may become aggressive if they feel they need to protect their young from danger — that is, us. When you see a young animal alone in the wild, it is likely that it is not lost, that the mother knows where it is and will return. The same applies to young birds on the ground. Though the bird may have left the nest, the parents will still feed it. Some young animals, such as foxes and raccoons, will follow their parents but be just out of sight to a person happening upon the parents. Do not approach. To avoid harm to wildlife and humans, the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife cautions to obey signs that restrict access to

wildlife nesting areas, including hiking trails that may be temporarily closed. They also recommend keeping domestic pets indoors, leashed or fenced in to avoid encounters with wildlife, and to avoid projects that remove trees, shrubs and dead snags that contain nests during the spring and summer. To learn more about injured or orphaned wildlife, you may visit the Vermont’s Fish & Wildlife’s website at vtfishandwildlife. com or contact the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department at 802-828-1000. For information about rabies and nuisance wildlife, call the Vermont Rabies Hotline at 1-8004RABIES (1-800-472-2437). If bitten or in contact with a raccoon, fox, skunk or bat, or a domestic animal that has been in contact with one of these species, call the Vermont Department of Health at 1-800-640-4374.

Quirky facts about companion animals (MS) — Think you know everything there is to know about your favorite furry, finned or feathered friend? Chances are there are some interesting facts that even the most ardent animal-lover may be surprised to learn. 1. Tough tongue: Cats’ tongues are covered with little structures called “filiform papillae,” which are like tiny hooks pointing toward the throat. These hook-like structures help hold food while a cat is eating. The papillae also help with grooming. Humans can feel these barbs when licked by cats. 2. Seeing spots: Dalmatians are born all white. Their spots will develop within the first few weeks of life and can be black, brown or liver colored. 3. Sleepy time: Cats are born loungers and will spend on average

16 hours of the day snoozing. Only sloths spend more time asleep.

4. Send a message: Fish do not have vocal chords, but they can use low-pitched moans, grunts, hisses, and wails to communicate with one another. 5. Watch the eyes: Pet birds can communicate feelings through their pupils. If pupils are dilated, the bird is calm. Pinprick-sized pupils mean birds are agitated and may bite. 6. Meeeoooowww: Cats only meow to communicate with humans, not amongst themselves. 7. Seeing colors: Dogs are not color blind as once presumed. They can see colors, just not as vividly as humans. 8. Kindle . not just for reading: A group of kittens is called a “kindle,”

while a group of cats is a “clowder.” 9. Almost wild: Dogs are so genetically similar to wolves that they can interbreed.

12. Not domesticated: Birds are not domesticated. They’re still rather wild and must be taught acceptable pet behavior. 13. Barkless: Many dogs do not actively bark. One dog that rarely ever barks is the Basenji, due to a narrow larynx. It can yodel, however!

Tent caterpillars eat their way through Vt. forests MONTPELIER — Forest tent caterpillars have hatched, according to forest health specialists from the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. The insect is expected to cause widespread defoliation this summer, mostly in forests across northeastern and central Vermont. Forest tent caterpillars are native to North America, and prefer eating the leaves of sugar maple and ash trees over other tree species. The tree damage caused by the insect can significantly reduce tree growth and impact maple tapping operations for Vermont sugarmakers, who contribute $140 million annually to the state’s economy. In 2016, forest tent caterpillars defoliated 25,000 acres of forestland in the state. Most trees survive defoliation, even if they are defoliated several years in a row, but a significant outbreak can turn that trend around. Over the past winter, the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation conducted surveys of forest tent caterpillar egg clusters in more than 60 actively tapped

sugarbushes to predict the risk of defoliation for 2017. Based on these surveys, landowners will have 18 of these sugarbushes treated with a biological insecticide, Bt, to protect them from defoliation this year — Bt, or Bacillus thuringiensis is allowed for certified-organic production of agricultural products. Natural enemies of the caterpillar have brought previous outbreaks to an end before significant tree mortality occurred. As a precaution, landowners this year will have approximately 3,600 acres of forest treated in mid-May to early June, when the forest tent caterpillars are actively feeding. In spite of their name, forest tent caterpillars do not create “tents” of webbing like their close relatives, the eastern tent caterpillars. The insects are mostly blue, with white keyhole-shaped spots. To learn more about the forest tent caterpillar and the Department’s efforts to monitor and predict their populations in Vermont, go to www. fpr.vermont.gov/forest/forest_ health.

NATIVE FOREST TENT caterpillars are responsible for defoliating thousands of acres of trees in Vermont from year to year.

Storm (Continued from Page 1) according to Addison Fire Chief Chris Mulliss, who said the storm started battering the Potash Bay area just after 6 p.m. on Thursday. “We got quite a storm,” said Mulliss, who on Friday morning at 9 a.m. was at Potash Bay assessing the damage. The home was a wood-framed camp right on the shore of Lake Champlain. Wind flipped it over, trapping the owner, 75-year-old Linda Taft, under ceiling materials. Mulliss said rescue personnel took the woman to Porter Hospital to be treated for injuries, and that by Friday morning she had been released. A family member said Taft was recovering from cuts and bruises. He was thankful Taft was OK given the storm’s impact on the home. “It lifted the building right off the foundation and rolled it over,” Mulliss said. The force of the storm was such that it moved one pickup over a barn, and, Mulliss said, one that was 45 feet tall. “It went up and over it,” he said, noting a second pickup got pushed around a yard. Asked if possibly a tornado was involved, Mulliss said he believed it was possible, but he had nothing to confirm it. The National Weather Service (NWS) had not reported a tornado as of Friday morning. Thursday saw unseasonably hot weather, with temps hitting 90 degrees or higher during the afternoon, but dropping 20 degrees after the storm moved through, according to the NWS. A thunderstorm warning and resulting violent weather prompted, among other things, suspension of baseball and softball games at Mount Abraham Union High School in Bristol, which also reportedly saw hail. On Friday morning, Mulliss said there were still small chunks of hail that had not melted yet, and he speculated some of the hail from the night before might have been as large as three-quarters of an inch in diameter. “That’s why there was so much damage,” he said. One nearby stretch of Lake Street remained closed early Friday morning. Mulliss said Green Mountain Power had reattached downed power lines, but some phone lines remained on the ground. Seven Potash Bay homes’ power lines blew off during the storm, and GMP was working on Friday morning to restore their power. In all, Mulliss said 45 or 50 firefighters from Addison, Vergennes and New Haven responded, as well as personnel from both Town Line First Response and the Vergennes Area Rescue Squad. The Addison Fire Department was toned out at 6:15 p.m., he said, and most firefighters were on the scene for about six hours. According to WCAX-TV, storms around northern Vermont on Tuesday night knocked out power to almost 15,000 homes, mostly in Chittenden County.
