Bristol considers firearms law By GAEN MURPHREE BRISTOL — Selectboard members are considering an ordinance that would regulate the discharge of firearms in Bristol. The ordinance, if passed, would be a first of its kind in the town. The local law, which the Bristol selectboard discussed at their June

26 meeting, would prohibit firing a gun “within a safety zone of 500 feet from another person’s/ entity’s residence, building, place of business or camper in the town of Bristol.” Discharge of firearms is also prohibited on or within 500 feet of any town-owned property and

within 1,000 feet of any school. Residents may apply to the chief of police for a permit to discharge firearms within the safety zone. The chief of police would inspect the site and approve or deny the permit. Such permit decisions could be appealed. (See Ordinance, Page 31)

Anyone who writes is invited to submit a poem that they could be selected to read, alongside professional poets, at the inaugural Poetry Free for All event later this month. “It’s a celebration of our collective poetry and a chance to hear a rare thing, which is a medley of voices, very different (See Poets, Page 14)

By JOHN FLOWERS LINCOLN — Lincoln resident Mari Cordes on Thursday returned from a whirlwind, three-day trip to Washington, D.C., that included wading through bustling airports, bunking down at a hostel and getting arrested. While that might seem like a nightmare scenario for most people, Cordes pronounced the trip a rousing success. T h a t ’ s because Cordes — a longtime nurse and activist — was on a joint mission with other likeCORDES minded folks to raise awareness about the U.S. Senate Republicans’ “Better Care Reconciliation Act” (BCRA) — legislation she believes would deal a major health insurance setback to a vast majority of Americans if it is passed into law (See Cordes, Page 30)

Local group searches for DeLorean to amp up film ‘Back to the Future’ remake in the works By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — Two years ago, Kurt Broderson organized a local effort to participate in a remake of the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” film. He’s now rallying the troops to act out some scenes from the 1980s hit “Back to the Future,” an effort that will also involve the search for a “holy grail.” Only in this case, it’s not the Ark of the Covenant, but rather a rare DeLorean sports car that serves as the vehicle for time travel in “Back to the Future.” “It would be big,” Broderson said on Thursday of potential loan of a DeLorean for the no-budget film production. As was the case for “Raiders” two years ago and “Princess Bride” last year, the “Back to the Future” remake is a crowdsourcing effort initiated by Northampton (Mass.) Community Television. Again, the

DELOREAN SPORTS CAR non-profit organization is farming out individual scenes of the film to other community access stations in the region, including Middlebury Community Television, known as MCTV. Broderson is executive director of MCTV, and he also happens to be a film buff. He’s had great success recruiting local talent to shoot and act in individual movie

scenes, using rudimentary props and Middlebury-area locations. The actors and extras are under no pressure to deliver Academy Award caliber performances, and they recite the same lines as are in the actual films. It’s all for fun, and very much tongue-in-cheek. Ultimately, Northampton Com-

munity TV will fit all the homegrown scenes together into a finished “Back to the Future” version that will premier in Massachusetts this fall, followed by a screening at the Marquis Theater in Middlebury. It will then be posted on social media for the world to see. Released in 1985, “Back to the Future” features Marty McFly (Mi-

chael J. Fox), a 17-year-old high school student who is accidentally sent 30 years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his friend and eccentric scientist Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd). The MCTV-produced scene will be action-packed. It’s the one where some Libyan terrorists come after (See DeLorean, Page 7)

Longtime Bristol police chief to retire this August By GAEN MURPHREE BRISTOL — Bristol Police Chief Kevin Gibbs will retire at the end of August. Gibbs officially announced his retirement at the Bristol Police Department staff meeting last Tuesday, June 27, saying: “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the community of Bristol.” Gibbs has served on the Bristol police force for 31 years. He began his career in policing in 1979, in what are now the Security Forces of the Vermont Air National Guard. Gibbs first worked as a municipal policeman in 1984, joining Waterbury’s police department. He joined the Bristol Police Department in October 1986. Gibbs has been Bristol’s chief of police since 1991. Town Administrator Therese Kirby said the Bristol selectboard has yet to decide whether they will conduct a full search for a new police chief or promote from within the department. Starting July 1, however, current part-time officer Bruce Nason will come onto the force fulltime at the rank of lieutenant. This will make Nason the officer in charge while Gibbs takes a scheduled threeweek vacation in July and, if no other action is taken, the acting chief of police after Gibbs retires on Aug. 31. Gibbs said he has recommended that the Bristol selectboard promote Nason to chief of police. “I have every confidence he can lead this department into the future,”

said Gibbs. “He’s done extraordinarily well here since starting parttime, really taken the initiative in reaching out to the community. And I think that he would be an ideal selection to replace me.” Nason, a police officer for over

two decades, joined the Bristol Police Department last November. The Bristol resident came to Vermont after having served 20 years on the Saranac Lake, N.Y., police force, six and a half of them as chief of police. Nason has also been work-

ing part-time as a patrol supervisor with the Addison County Sheriff’s Department (since April 2015), and will be leaving that position to serve full-time with the Bristol police department. Once Nason becomes full-time,

the makeup of the Bristol Police Department will be Gibbs, Nason, Josh Otey, and Randy Crowe full-time; Bob Worley and Jori Fairbanks parttime. Crowe has the rank of sergeant; Otey, Worley and Fairbanks serve at the rank of patrolman.

A D D IS ON INDE P E NDEN T

Guest Editorial Transform healthcare in Vt. As leaders of large Vermont health care organizations we are tasked with the need to treat the sick and the infirm, to do so efficiently, and to provide high-quality care. We accept that. But we need partners, and with those partners, we need to change the perception of public health being about sickness, to public health being about wellness. Long term, there is no other way to provide quality care, at affordable costs, to all in need. This understanding has to be embraced as a state, and acted upon if we are to make suitable progress toward Vermont being not only a healthy state, but a prosperous one. Wellness is as much an economic development tool as affordability; in fact, it’s the twin side of the same coin. Here is what’s encouraging: the structure of that sought after partnership is already in place. It’s called RiseVT. It’s a community collaborative that has been in development for four years and implemented for the past two years in northwestern Vermont. It’s an empirically based collaborative that focuses on results — things that can be measured and built upon. A key partner for RiseVT has been the France-based EPODE (Ensemble Prévenons l’Obésité Des Enfants, or Together Let’s Prevent Childhood Obesity) organization, which has spread to 29 nations with a proven record of driving down childhood obesity rates. This coming school year that partnership will be on display as over 2,000 Pre-K to middle school students from Franklin and Grand Isle counties, in collaboration with the Health Department, will collect one simple measure — Body Mass Index or BMI, which will be useful to gauge improvement as the RiseVT program pursues its healthy lifestyles initiative. Can you imagine the value of partnerships that would extend this data based effort throughout all Vermont? That’s the objective. Wellness — or public health — is something that has to be embraced at individual and community levels. It has to be promoted in specific settings, like schools, workplaces, residential areas, state and local government and, yes, hospitals. It has to be built into all policies if the eventual outcome — fewer people with chronic illnesses and the delayed onset of illness — is to be achieved. This is the only way to truly bend the cost curve for delivering healthcare. Vermont is in an enviable position to get this done. Consider state government as one of RiseVT’s most important partners. The Agency of Human Services — with former Green Mountain Care Board Chairman Al Gobeille at the helm — is the largest agency in state government and arguably in touch with more Vermonters, in a health care related way — than any other organization, with the possible exception of the state’s 13 hospitals. And Mr. Gobeille, as GMCB chair, was RiseVT’s champion when it was brought before the board for funding. He gets it. He saw the need, and the opportunity, and with the support of the Green Mountain Care Board members, he urged the wellness campaign to be pushed to all corners of the state. The promotion of public health is more pertinent today than it’s ever been; partly because of what’s termed the “triple burden of diseases” — meaning the ongoing battle against communicable diseases, newly emerging diseases, and the unprecedented rise of non-communicable chronic diseases. It’s not debatable. The adverse effects of sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, poverty, addiction and social and mental wellbeing are taking an increasing toll. What is essential is building enough trust in a wellness setting that individuals and communities are empowered to take actions to promote their own health. Our goal is to get to a point where health is not the objective of living, rather health is the resource for how we live our lives. Living healthy is the new norm. The difference is vast, and the opportunities that come with it, equally so. To get there, we need partners. We need funding flexibility from the state as well as our private partners to put RiseVT in place for the greater good. It is a fraction of the price tag we are spending now to treat disease. Pennies spent now will save countless dollars later. It is time to invest in this future. That’s the RiseVT promise.

Letters to the Editor Monkton school officials urge Congress to resist cuts The Monkton Central School Board of Directors unanimously passed the following resolution at their meeting on June 27. Resolution: The Monkton Central School Board of Directors respectfully urges Congress to continue its support for the vital resources in the current Federal Education budget and not to approve health care and children’s food program cuts in the Trump Administration’s proposed budget. Whereas the proposed decrease to the Federal Education budget (-13.5 percent) and the Trump

Administration budget and health care proposals as a whole eliminate or significantly reduce funding for a wide range of programs that benefit Monkton Central School students and families: • School lunch programs and food assistance programs. • After school programs, which have been shown to increase academic performance, improve classroom behavior, encourage physical activity and provide safe and constructive childcare options for working families. • Medicaid, which provides chil-

dren’s health care insurance. • The new federal health care proposal (AHCA) is estimated to increase the number of uninsured Vermonters by 65,000 by 2026. Uninsured or underinsured students and adults may lack the resources to access necessary physical and mental health supports, impacting academic outcomes, student attendance and overall well being.

Addiction help

MUMS student urges aid for North Korean refugees Editor’s note: As part of their study of communism, 8th-graders at Middlebury Union Middle School wrote letters to the editor about life in North Korea and what Americans can do. Here is one of those letters; we expect to run a few more. You are a 20-year-old, working every day in the rice fields. After work you wait in line for hours just to get your small portion of rations. Propaganda about the Great Leader spews out from speakers in the metro station and surrounds you through posters. Your stomach is rumbling but you cannot speak out and ask for more food. For an American, this is unfathomable, but for a North Korean, this is a normal day. Many people want to escape from communism and go to South Korea in order to gain more freedoms. Life for North Korean refugees is miserable, but we can help. North Korea displays a frightening amount of power over its citizens, but the people of North Korea are brainwashed and do not notice. Propaganda is constantly fed to the citizens through posters, speakers, movies, advertisements, teachers, and the dictator. Everywhere they look some piece of propaganda is being tossed at them. It is all part of the communist plan to stifle all freedoms and rights and keep all citizens worshiping communism. From the time children are enrolled in school, they are taught to praise communism and the Great Leader. In school, children learn that North Korea is the best, strongest, most independent and successful country in the world and that Americans are evil. They learn to support Kim Jong-Un and his threats to send missiles to the United States. The citizens are so brainwashed that they believe their dictator and everything he tells them. The North Korean Kim regime also keeps all freedoms from the people. This includes all the rights guaranteed to United States citizens by the First Amendment, such as the freedoms of speech, religion, protest, assembly and press. No one

Letters to the editor The Addison Independent encourages readers to write letters to the editor. We believe a newspaper should be a community forum for people to debate issues of the day. Because we believe that accountability makes for responsible debate, we will print signed letters only. Be sure to include an address and telephone number, too, so we can call to clear up any questions.

is allowed to speak out about any opinions or thoughts they have, not even in private, for fear of the secret police. The secret police watch every move you make. They are paid to find people doing unlawful things or thinking anti-communist thoughts. Anyone who appears as anti-communist will be sent to a prison camp, jail, or depending on the severity, could even be executed. This power oppresses the people and keeps them from doing anything against the government. When people realize the severity of their condition, they want to find a way out, but there are many risks of trying to escape. Defectors from North Korea are willing to risk so much just for the idea of freedom. If a defector is caught trying to cross the Yalu or Tumen River into China, they could be taken back to North Korea and put into a prison camp, jail, tortured or killed. North Korean military is stationed on these rivers that border China, along with security camera to catch anyone attempting to cross. Even if people succeed in crossing into China, they could still be sent back to North Korea because China is one of their only allies. As shown in “A Tale of Two Heavens: Escaping North Korea,” a woman was found frozen in the Tumen River after being shot down by the North Korean military. No one even bothered to bury her or take her back to her family, they just left her to freeze. This is an example of the risk a North Korean takes to escape. Not only could you die while trying to escape, so could your family. “In North Korea, if your relative is persecuted for ‘anti-state’ or ‘anti-socialist’ crimes, then you and three generations of your family can be punished for it. The aim is to remove from society the whole

family unit to prevent any dissent from emerging in the future.” (Liberty in North Korea) By attempting to escape you risk your life, and the lives of your loved ones. The twisted North Korean society believes that if one person in the family is anti-communist, the whole family must be. They want to maintain control, and therefore cannot have anyone who does not agree. Although North Korea is very isolated, there are still ways you can help. Donations to North Korean refugee organizations can benefit many defectors who are living underground in China. Liberty in North Korea has raised $232,000 and have helped 618 defectors. This organization is particularly special because all profits go towards the refugees. Durihana Inc. is another organization that helps North Koreans. The founder of the company, Rev. Chun Ki-Won, started an orphanage in China for North Korean children who have escaped. These children are fed and educated through donations. Another way to help is to raise awareness about the North Korean government and living conditions through writing, talking, and educating. If more people know, more change will be possible. Life for North Koreans is miserable, so they want to get out. You can aid those who have left. Helping these innocent people escape helps you too, by assisting to stop nuclear bombs. The less people in North Korea, the less support the dictator has. If we can stop the brainwashing that occurs, there will be much less support for nuclear missiles. Have you ever wanted to be a superhero? This is how you can save the world. Camille Cutter MUMS Grade 8

Editor’s note: This is the first in a series produced in coordination with the Addison County Committee on Opiate Addiction. With the opiate addiction crisis still with us in Vermont, this is a reprise and update of a series that ran last summer. This week’s writer is Jessi de Boer, who is a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and a licensed clinical mental health counselor, is coordinator of Adult Recovery Services at Counseling Service of Addison County. ••••••• The Addison County Committee on Opiate Addiction has worked very diligently over the past years, in many different ways to help prevent, treat and help people recover from substance use disorders. This committee includes representatives from The Vermont Department of Health, UVM Health Network: Porter Medical Center, Turning Point Center, Court Diversion and Pre-trial Services, The United Way, Counseling Service of Addison County as well as agencies and community members. As a collective community in Addison County we continue to understand, prevent and treat this critical disease that continues to touch so many families. In 2016 it claimed 112 lives by overdose in Vermont alone and has now surpassed the motor vehicle death rate in the United States. Addison County should be proud of the progress made here: UVM Health Network: Porter Medical Center’s Medication Assisted Treatment program now serves 113 patients with continued hopes to expand treatment. This year Counseling Service of Addison County

served 300 people in crisis and over 270 people in need of substance use treatment services. Turning Point Center of Addison County serves about 800 visitors a month and has distributed a total of 164 Narcan kits (a medication that can reverse opiate overdose). We continue our efforts to help prevent substance use and addiction with our website (www.addictionhelpvt.com), community readings about addiction, visits to local schools to discuss substance use, abuse and addiction, outreach at local community events, supporting our local providers with new prescribing restrictions, promoting drug take-back days and working with agencies to gain more experience around how to build strong, healthy communities. Preventing people from becoming victims to substance use disorder is paramount and everyone in our community has a role; parents, schools, healthcare providers and community groups are all key players. In the continued spirit of hope and working to prevent, treat and help individuals and our community recovery we offer a series of 10 articles, to be printed right here in the weeks to come. These articles will discuss what opioid use disorder is, how to help when addiction is in your home, where to turn for support and much more. For help today go to: www.addictionhelpvt.com. There is help right here in Addison County.

Susan Lewis, 80, Middlebury MIDDLEBURY — Susan Lockwood Lewis, 80, died peacefully Friday evening June 23, 2017, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. She was born September 13, 1936 in Bridgeport, Conn., the daughter of John and Virginia (Kerr) Lockwood. Susan was a history major at Middlebury College and graduated in the class of 1958, where she met her husband of 59 years, John Lewis, Jr. They settled in Middlebury and raised four children, eventually moving to Salisbury so that she could have chickens, ducks and horses. Her favorite horse was a three quarter Morgan named Velvet. Her ultimate passion in life was teaching and instilling a love of learning in young students. For over 20 years, she was a grade four, five and six teacher at Mary Hogan Elementary School. Susan was held in high regard by her colleagues and recognized on numerous occasions for her educational leadership. Her expertise lay in the areas of science, social studies and technology. She made it her mission to challenge her students to the very best of their performance ability. At Mary Hogan she was instrumental in putting forward more effective teaching methods in science classes, which included a less theoretical and more on handson approach, believing that kids are self discovering as opposed to learning from text books. In 1991 she won the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics, traveling to Washington, D.C., for the ceremony. Her legacy is the thousands of Middlebury elementary students now living around the world who were inspired by her to reach

their highest potential. Upon her retirement she volunteered at the Salisbury Elementary School, served on the Salisbury School Board, and was active in the local community. “Gramma Sue” loved to spend time and spoil her grandchildren and took great delight in hunting little critters with them, including snakes and bugs. During family vacations on the coast of Maine, she would spend hours combing the tide pools for treasures with her grandchildren. She also loved books. Almost every day you could find her curled up on the couch lost in whatever book held her fancy that afternoon. Many times she would look up and say, “I think I’ve already read this one, but I guess I’ll just read it again”. Sue and her husband were avid gardeners with extensive vegetable and flower gardens. She loved to give tours of her gardens to any willing visitor. In her later years she enjoyed taking long walks on the many paths around her home in Salisbury. She loved sports and the outdoors her entire life, from softball to ice-skating to ski instructing at the Middlebury Snow Bowl. She grew up a Yankee and Giants fan, but later switched to routing for all New England teams. On Sundays you could often find her in front of the TV, with a Budweiser cheering for Tom Brady. Susan is survived by her husband John C. Lewis Jr., by her children, Laura Brockett of Randolph, N.H., John C. Lewis III and wife Jennifer of Sherborn, Mass., Doug Lewis and wife Kelley of Fayston, Vt., and Jason Lewis of Boulder, Colo., by her

SUSAN L. LEWIS sisters, Janet Johnson, and Judy Johnson and husband Ron. Also by her grandchildren, Christopher Brockett, Sarah Brockett, Audrey Lewis, Olivia Lewis and Russell Lewis and by several nieces, nephews and cousins. A gathering of friends to celebrate Sue’s life will be held on Sunday, July 16 at the Waybury Inn from 3-5 p.m. The Lewis family invites friends to gather and share stories. Light fare and refreshments will be served. Online condolences at sandersonfuneralservice.com In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Elderly Services of Vermont where both Sue and John enjoyed the great Project Independence program for many years.

Crosswalk lighting funds sought By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — The Vergennes City Council last week voted to seek a Vermont Agency of Transportation Bicycle and Pedestrian Program grant to help fund five sets of flashing pedestrian lights at heavily used crosswalks, mostly on Main Street. The lights cost $11,000 a pair, and City Manager Mel Hawley said required site work, such as metal roadside pedestrian grates, will add to the final cost of installation. The council researched options late this winter and determined the lights were an effective way to alert drivers that pedestrians were trying to cross the road. Hawley said they could also help to slow drivers down overall. “I think there’s a traffic calming

benefit as well,” he said. Regardless of the cost, not all city crosswalks should receive the two-sided, pedestrian-triggered lights, Hawley said, because if there are too many around a community they “melt into the landscape” and lose effectiveness. “You want to use them wisely and when the situation warrants,” he said. Also, he told the council, there are “warrants that have to be met” for their placement based on the speed limit and the number of vehicles on the road and pedestrians trying to cross it. Main Street, which is also Route 22A, would meet the threshold, he said, as would what city officials call the “Bermuda Triangle” — the awkward three-way intersection of

New Haven Road with Green and King streets. That intersection “probably meets the warrants,” Hawley said, because it poses a challenge to children trying to reach nearby Vergennes Union Elementary School. The council agreed on a potential list of four Main Street sites: at its intersections with North and South Maple streets and with South Water Street, at Vergennes City Hall, and at one of three intersections on the west side of the Otter Creek bridge. Mayor Michael Daniels said he has seen the lights work on Pine Street in Burlington, but added they are no substitute for pedestrian alertness. “You still have to look before you cross,” Daniels said.

DeLorean (Continued from Page 3) Doc for some stolen plutonium. The terrorist interrupt Doc’s DeLorean test, leading into a shootout during which Marty escapes in the car and is transported back to 1955. Broderson and his family are taking on an additional scene for the movie. It’s the one where Marty meets up with Doc in his garage in 1955. The Brodersons’ 7-year old daughter, Annika, will play Marty, and their 10-year-old son Kiel will play Doc. Producers of the remake realize the individual groups won’t have access to movie-quality sets and props. So they’re being told to improvise, if need be. But Broderson knows it would be quite a coup if the Middlebury contingent can borrow a real DeLorean for its segment of the movie. And it might not be the needlein-a-haystack search that it would seem to be. Broderson said he’s heard rumors of an Addison County res-

“Pulling from the greatest corners of American music, this group has the power to get feet moving with or without amplification. Like fresh-farmed vegetables, their music is as organic as it is good for you. From foot-stomping bass, highlighted by the slap of a cajon, to the familiar strums of the mandolin over a wailing saxophone – there’s so much going on instrumentally that when the harmonious lead vocalists chime in, the result is nothing short of a homegrown hurricane of sound.” -Otis Mountain Get Down

Lewis is an author of numerous books of poetry, plays and nonfiction, and was the first writer to be honored as National Poet of Wales (20052006). Lewis is also a writer who believes deeply that language “is what brings us together.” That shared conviction is shaping this first-time event. The Poetry Free for All will bring guest poets and local writers together for an evening of poetry designed to “celebrate the power of poetry to shape our communities.” Here’s how it works: • Anyone can submit a poem (see box above for details). • Send in one original poem and one by another writer. • Choose poems on “issues that matter to you.” • Organizers will choose a variety of poems to be read at the event, and will respond to all entrants by email. • Poets and audience will gather at the Kirk Alumni Center in Middlebury on July 14 to listen and read aloud together. The event is cosponsored by Middlebury’s Bread Loaf School

So it’s constantly surprising us, and that’s one of the things that delights me about poetry all the time.” Lewis also sees poetry as a place where language can be shared, in an exchange free from ulterior motives. “It’s not a predictable advertising slogan. It doesn’t want to raise money. It doesn’t want to force you to do something that you don’t want to do. It just wants you to enjoy yourself thinking about language and hearing it in your body.” Literally bringing people together through poetry has been a signature

accomplishment for Lewis. One of her poems is emblazoned in sixfoot-high stained glass letters across the front of the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, Wales. The words read: “Creating truth like glass from inspiration’s furnace.” For Lewis, that same spirit animates the Poetry Free for All Event. “I think of words in the same way that these massive six-foot-high words are on the front of a theater. They are a meeting place. People (looking for a rendezvous spot in Cardiff) say, ‘Oh, I’ll meet you under the words.’ Well, in the same

way our language is what brings us together. It’s a joint endeavor. I don’t speak my own personal language. We create that language together.” Ultimately, organizers see the Poetry Free for All as a way to celebrate community. “Bread Loaf is about spending time face to face with people you don’t normally see,” said Lewis. “And our sense is that this new event is a natural extension of that — to come down off the mountain and be with other people and to make it a wider circle.” Reporter Gaen Murphree is at gaenm@addisonindependent.com.

Otter pitcher leads Addy Indy all-star baseball team Strong OV and Eagle squads well-represented By ANDY KIRKALDY ADDISON COUNTY — Given this spring’s wet weather maybe we should all have expected it to be the season of the Otter, and the baseball season turned out that way: The Otter Valley Union High School nine bounced back from a combined total of four wins in the past two springs to claim the Division II title. Many Otters stepped up through the course of the season, seemingly a different player every game. But one Otter senior pitched OV to three playoff wins, led them in regular-season pitching victories and was a tough out all season long at the plate: Derek Aines headlines the 2017 Addison Independent Baseball AllStar Team as the Player of the Year. Coach Mike Howe’s Otters finished their playoff run at 14-6, and three more Otters joined Aines on the Independent team. Coach Jeff Stetson’s Mount Abraham squad failed to repeat their dramatic 2016 run to the D-II title, losing in extra innings to finalist U-32 in a quarterfinal and finishing a OTTER VALLEY UNION High School senior Derek Aines is the 2017 Addison Independent High School Baseball Player of the Year.

Howe’s Quotes: “From a leadership standpoint and a work ethic standpoint, I haven’t seen anybody like Colby since I’ve been coaching … He continually did everything we asked of him. He went above and beyond … He really turned himself into a solid middle infielder … He was continually in the right place in the right time, and collected more big hits than I can remember … He really excelled this year for us and seized every opportunity we gave him and just had a dynamite season.” PAYSON WILLIAMS, OV JUNIOR. Notes: Batted .385 and tied McKay with 15 RBIs, scored nine times, and drilled two doubles and a WILLIAMS triple out of the No. 3 hole … Played a solid centerfield and showed off a strong arm … Compiled a 5-2 pitching record including a quarterfinal playoff victory and a win vs. D-I Brattleboro … Finished with an ERA of 2.03 and 34 strikeouts in 38 innings. Howe’s Quotes: “He’s a solid, solid player … He battled. He won a couple big games for us … In center field he was great … I don’t think he made one error in the outfield … He’s another kid that just loves to compete and play baseball and does everything that we ask.” DUSTIN WHITCOMB, MOUNT ABE JUNIOR. Notes: Versatile player who batted

.373 with an on-base percentage of .422, scored a local-best 18 runs and picked up eight RBIs … Filled in elsewhere, but when not pitching mostly played right field, where he played errorless ball … On the mound compiled a 2-2 record and earned a save in 35 innings WHITCOMB pitched with an ERA of 3.96. Stetson’s Quotes: “He’ll be my starting shortstop when he’s not pitching next year … He had a real good solid year … He will be our captain and main man, I would assume, next year … He was very good in right field … He got to a lot of balls … He really could play anywhere except maybe catcher. He’s very versatile … He put the ball in play a lot.” CASEY KIMBALL, VUHS JUNIOR. Notes: Batted a loud .410 with four doubles and three triples, scoring nine KIMBALL times and driving in nine runs despite missing several games … Reached base at a .500 clip and slugged .615 … Agreed at Burkett’s request to help the team by playing shortstop and did a solid job. Burkett’s Quotes: “He did it (played shortstop) because I asked him to ... Those balls he got to, he did a good job getting his feet

set and making a good throw ... Offensively he was a rock the whole year ... He was pretty consistently in the No. 4 spot because not only was his average high, but he seemed to be good hitting when the chips were down.” JOSH BEAYON, OV SOPHBEAYON OMORE. Notes: After impressing as a freshman first baseman as a late call-up in 2016, picked up where he left off by batting .362 as OV’s cleanup hitter with 14 RBIs, belting four doubles and a home run and scoring eight times … Chipped in on the mound with 3-2 record and an 0.99 ERA in 14 innings, striking out 27 and walking only four … Made only one error at first base. Howe’s Quotes: “He started producing for us late last year, and it certainly carried over … Josh’s success comes from the effort he puts in … He is not outworked and continues to impress the coaching staff with his selflessness and doing whatever it takes for the team to be successful … He’s a quiet leader.” J E F F R E Y STEARNS, VUHS FRESHMAN. Notes: Introduced himself to Metro play by batting .395 and drawing 12 walks in 14 games for a .549 OBP ... Drove in STEARNS

seven runs, scored 11 and knocked out three doubles … Played well defensively and showed composure at third base and behind the plate. Burkett’s Quotes: He’s a solid catcher ... He really anchored third base for us ... He’s a (hockey) goalie, which I think helped him immensely at catcher and as a corner infielder. He’s fearless ... He’s a gifted athlete ... You wouldn’t look at him and think he’s a freshman out there ... He’s got a good head on his shoulders and he’s a good teammate.” GEORGE BAILEY, MOUNT ABE SENIOR. Notes: Helped the Eagles with his bat, pitching arm, defense at third base and attitude ... Patient leadoff hitter who batted .315, took a number of walks, drove in 12 runs, scored seven times despite often being lifted for courtesy runners, and hit two doubles and a triple ... Won two games on the mound with a respectable 4.10 ERA despite often drawing tough asBAILEY signments, striking out 33 in 43.2 innings. Stetson’s Quotes: “George had a really solid year for us … He also got inserted into the leadoff role this year and embraced that and did a great job … He had the ability to take a lot of pitches and still have a productive at bat, so he gave everybody else behind him a chance to see three or four pitches … There was a need at third base and he filled it admirably … He always had a smile on his face … He just loved playing high school baseball, and it showed in his attitude.”

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society Beasty 8 years, Shepherd mix, neutered male. Don’t let the name fool you - Beasty is a total angel with the cutest head tilt. While his paperwork may show 8 years of age, Beasty is very young in spirit. He is active, intelligent, and enjoys the company of other dogs. He pulls some on leash and is a bit excitable but does well around all people, young and old! Come meet this handsome beast today and make him your bestie! Humphrey 2.5 years, Wire Fox Terrier, neutered male. Handsome like Humphrey Bogart, our Humphrey is an energetic, extremely intelligent young pup. He always has a clean kennel here at the shelter and loves to spend time in the yard, go for long walks, and especially to play fetch. He would do best in a child free home with owners who are willing to provide him with exercise for the mind and body. If you’ve ever considered dog agility, nose work, or Frisbee fun, Humphrey could be the perfect dog for you. Placed into the right home, we think he will make a great companion! Cam 2 years, Retriever mix, neutered male. Cam is a wonderful young pup with lots of energy who loves soft squeaky toys! Cam needs to be in a home with humans who are 18 and older and will need some basic training, especially leash training as he will pull. Cam lived with one other dog in his previous home but has no experience with new dogs; we have not had luck introducing him to other dogs here at the shelter. Cam absolutely loves people he knows, but can be wary of new people. Cam is ready for a routine oriented family who understands that he will need some training, patience, and lots of love! 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.

Pet of the

Week

Meet “TJ” Hi there! My name is “Talulah Jane” Andy 8 years, American Bulldog, neutered male. Andy is an affectionate sweetheart who loves attention. He has some very cute quirks, including an endearing head tilt which he proudly shows off when you ask him a question! Andy would like to live in a home with children who are dog-savvy and who understand that they sometimes need their own space. Andy recently had some masses removed but is now in overall good health. He loves to play and chase toys and would love a new home with humans who will spend ample amounts of time showering him with love!

Dexter 2 years, Beagle/Hound mix, neutered male. Dexter is a sweetie who loves to cuddle and play, especially with other dogs! He would love to live with a human who enjoys a laid-back lifestyle and who appreciates his quirks. Dexter will need to go to a home with only women as he isn’t too fond of men, and children 13 and older. He loves soft, squeaky toys and will ask for a hug before and after a play session! We adore Dexter here at the shelter and think he will make a great companion for the right person.

but my roommate calls me “TJ” for short. I am 10 years old and I have lots of extra toes. My favorite word is: “treaty”. My favorite sound is: A can of cat food being opened. My favorite thing to do is: sleep (don’t I do it well?). I let my roommate brush me and trim my nails without a fuss. I even don’t mind the

occasional belly rub! When I get nervous or scared, I reach up for my roommate to hold me. I’m always being told I’m the world’s most perfect cat. Honestly, what more could one cat ask for? Best friends for life. Alicia Prime Middlebury

Think of Agway when you think of your pets!

Tip of the Week

Proud to help you provide quality care for all of your pets, we know your animal companions are a central part of your life!

Make the easiest cat toys ever Here’s a question. Did you ever look at all those empty cardboard toilet paper rolls you recycle and wish you could make something really special out of them? You haven’t? Well, to be honest, neither have I. But one day I was trolling the Internet looking for an idea for this article and came across a page called Catster DIY. It had easy directions for making the coolest cat toys out of toilet paper rolls. Really. And apparently cats love them … the testimonials said so. And there were pictures of happy cats playing with them. So I made them. They were super easy. Even your kids and grandkids can make them. So if you have a cat that would like some new toys or if you have some kids who need a fun project to keep them busy for a little while try these. Your cats will love you for it. Materials you’ll need: Empty toilet paper rolls, scissors, cat treats, paper bag with handles, a piece of string or yarn (about 2 feet long), a short stick (about 1-2 feet) How to make the toys: SIMPLE RINGS: Make 4 fingerwidth marks on a tp roll. Cut on the lines to make the rings. You’ll get 5 rings out of each roll. That’s all there is to it. Cats can toss them in the air, carry them around in their mouths or push them on the floor. So easy. SUNSHINE BALL: Make ¾” cuts (again about a finger width wide) on both ends of a tp roll to make tabs.

OFF

Bend the tabs back creating a “sun” on each end. Cats can roll it and bat it around. TREAT RATTLE: Fold one end of the tp roll inward creating a semi-closed end. Put some cat treats in the open end and then close that end too. Cats will roll it around working to get the treats out. RING BALL: Follow directions for “Simple Rings” but instead of letting the cats play with them individually, insert the first ring into the second ring, then slip the third ring into the first two to make a ball. Put treats inside the ball and watch the cats have fun. PAPER BAG HANDLE SPIDER TOY: Cut the handles off the bag. Tie the handles together in the middle with a piece of string or yarn to make a “spider”. Attach the string to a short stick. Dangle the “spider” so the cat can pounce on it!

(Bonus: Let the cat play in the bag). Of course you can decorate the toys using magic markers, crayons or whatever. Your cats might or might not notice your art (cats being cats after all) but they’ll enjoy playing with them.

Mapping change holds up new Ferrisburgh Town Plan Business, conservation districts at issue

By ANDY KIRKALDY FERRISBURGH — The Ferrisburgh selectboard last week at its second public hearing on a proposed new town plan heard debate on what is apparently the final issue holding up its adoption — a proposed mapping change that would move a couple of properties along Route 7 from a Highway Commercial District to a less permissive Conservation zone. The properties in question are just north of Lewis Creek on the east side of the state highway. Properties opposite the land in question on Route 7’s west side are set to remain in the Highway Commercial zone, according to the map proposed by the Ferrisburgh Planning Commission and drawn by the Addison County Regional Planning Commission. The land in the area is part of what the plan describes as the “North Business Planning Area,” which allows commercial uses and is defined as running “south to the Conservation District associated with Lewis Creek.” Clark Hinsdale, owner of one of

the east side properties that would be affected, is lobbying the selectboard to over-rule the planning commission and redraw the map back to its previous boundaries. Selectboard Chairwoman Loretta Lawrence, for one, agrees with that point of view, which will be decided when the board holds its third and probably final hearing on the plan, likely in early August. That date may be determined when the selectboard meets on Monday, July 3. “To me it seems like the simplest solution, and that’s what I will be recommending to the board,” Lawrence said. “It makes the most sense at this point.” In a document submitted to the planning commission at its first formal public hearing on the proposed plan, held on March 15, Hinsdale wrote in describing the change he sought: “In the North Business area, I would recommend that the area be extended south to the edge of the Conservation District and at least 200 feet further to the east or to the edge of the Conservation District

ning commission hearing on the new plan should have been enough to have his point be taken seriously. “Clark submitted on March 15 a written proposal at the very first hearing, and that should have been early enough in the process,” she said. If the selectboard makes the change, there remains the question of whether it would require the entire plan be sent back to the planning commission — as it must if the change is determined to be major — or whether the change would be considered minor, thus allowing the board to adopt the plan after its third public hearing. Lawrence said because the plan language seems to support the change it appears to be minor, but the point is being researched. “We’re looking into that, but we’re believing at this point it’s a minor change,” she said. Lawrence also emphasized the overall quality of the plan and cooperative nature of the effort between planners and selectboard in writing it, which at one point included a three-hour joint meeting. “We work so well together,” Lawrence said.
