Residents demand fewer trucks through city Three options pitched at forum

By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — About 70 residents and officials from Vergennes and neighboring towns on Wednesday weighed in on potential ways to ease the burden Vergennes faces from the 700 trucks, including 362 semis, that rumble through its downtown every day — the highest totals in the state. Attendees brought a familiar list of complaints about the trucks: They are noisy, dangerous and harmful to the downtown’s historic buildings and economic prospects. Listening were the people who since June have been studying the issue — a task force including officials from the Agency of Transportation (VTrans), the Addison County Regional Planning Commission, and

studies, one in the mid-1990s and one in the early 2000s, went nowhere. “The next 10 years of meetings could be moving the project forward,”

said Stantec traffic engineer Rick Bryant. The task force will make a recommendation for a possible solution out of a menu of three options. It will go to the regional planning commission’s Transportation Advisory Committee, which will in turn make a final recommendation to VTrans. THREE OPTIONS Those options are as familiar as the complaints, and two have been on the table for decades. Most attending the meeting appeared to favor the option of a bypass that would take trucks from Route 22A through mostly undeveloped land in northern Vergennes. A 1995 study backed that route. That bypass would, heading northward, leave 22A west of (See City trucks, Page 31)

Planning for Tri-Town bike loop progresses By CHRISTOPHER ROSS NEW HAVEN — A tri-town bike loop in Addison County is one step closer to becoming a reality. Coordinated by the Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC), the town of New Haven and city of Vergennes have teamed up to apply for a Municipal Planning Grant to develop a master plan for a designated bicycle route connecting Bristol, Middlebury and Vergennes, via New Haven. “This is very significant for the walk-bike community,” said Claire Tebbs, who wrote the application for the ACRPC. “This is the first regional master plan proposal of its kind for Addison County. It is a step (See Bike route, Page 16)

Middlebury narrows down rail platform sites By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — A vast majority of Middlebury residents who’ve weighed in on the siting of a proposed passenger rail platform would prefer to see it placed in one of four areas: the Middle Seymour Street area, in the vicinity of the Marble Works, the former train station building and behind the parking lot of the National Bank of

Middlebury on Seymour Street. That opinion came through loud and clear in a recent survey conducted by the town of Middlebury and its engineering firm, Vanesse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB). The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) has offered to pay for a 300-foot-long-by-12foot-wide passenger rail platform, with minimal

covering, to serve riders of an expanded Ethan Allen Express train route that Amtrak is slated to run along the states’ western rail corridor beginning in 2021 or 2022. That route from Rutland to Burlington will include local stops in Middlebury and Vergennes, and the state wants basic amenities in place before the train service begins. (See Rail, Page 7)

Forums offer resiliency tips for kids VERGENNES — A coalition of the Vermont Department of Health and several Addison County human services providers will be sponsoring a series of free discussions in October to help parents teach “resiliency” skills to their children. Recent surveys of Addison County students have shown a concerning trend of adolescents becoming despondent and believing their community has no use for them. These feelings can lead to depression, potentially leading to self-harm in some cases, according to local human services officials. The upcoming youth resiliency series will involve four separate Thursday morning gatherings at Ver-

gennes Union Elementary School, from 8 to 8:45 a.m., on October 4, 11, 18 and 25. Participants will learn seven “building blocks for resiliency” that can help children thrive and take away easy tips and tools for raising children so that they can better handle the bumps and bruises that life has in store. The Addison Independent will feature a more expansive report on the Addison County youth resiliency effort in its Thursday, Oct. 4 edition. Child care, coffee and snacks will be provided. An RSVP is requested, especially from those who need childcare, to Elissa Best, ebest@ anwsd.org, or (802) 877-3761.

CVE to build new repair building Facility will cater to large farm vehicles

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Development Review Board on Sept. 24 unanimously endorsed Champlain Valley Equipment’s (CVE) plan to build a new, 4,500-square-foot maintenance building on its property at 453 Exchange St. The new building will give CVE technicians a safer and roomier location in which to service the company’s largest agricultural and construction vehicles.

VCET recognizes women entrepreneurs

Morrisville company wins $20K grant MIDDLEBURY — On Sept. 27, more than 50 college students, local residents and women entrepreneurs gathered at Middlebury College’s Dana Auditorium for the first-ever Vermont Female Founders StartHere Challenge, hosted by the Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies. Seven finalists pitched their startup business plans to a panel of three successful businesswomen with ties to Vermont: Mary Cullinane of Community Barn Ventures, Hinda Miller of Sultanas Group and Jogbra, and Lucie Ide of Rimidi. With $25,000 in prize money on the line, each contestant made the case that her business plan was

Bridport, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics The solar system that Bristol Electronics installed in 2016 has paid entirely for the power at my home and my tenants’ home since they installed it. In addition to our general electricity needs, we have also used heat pumps extensively in the summer for air conditioning and in the fall and spring for heating. I haven’t paid a “light” bill since we put the solar panels up. I made it clear that I like even rows. Since I only needed (32) panels they centered the bottom row. It came out beautiful. I look at it and I am proud of how it looks. Bristol Electronics was nice to work with and very thoughtful of my wishes throughout the project. Art Provencher – Bridport, VT

supported by market opportunities and a strong team, half of whom must be based in Vermont. Contestants were also judged on the strength of their intended use of the funds. The seven finalists included: Katie McCurdy of Burlingtonbased Pictal Health; Rachel Miller of Granville-based Cora Ball; Julie Lineberger of Wilmington-based Wheel Pad; Adriana LeTorney of Stowe-based Visura; and Courtney Reckord of Courtney Reckord Jewelry in South Burlington. Eva Shaw of Overeasy was selected as the runner up for the competition. The Middlebury student and co-founder of Overeasy, a locally-based clothing manufacturing company, told judges she would use the prize money to establish production of her product at the Vermont Teddy Bear Company’s Shelburne factory. Overeasy’s weather resistant and wind-blocking over-the-ski-helmet fauz-fur HoodEs are currently manufactured by residents of Addison County. “Our local home seamstresses are incredible, but we sold out in our Fall pre-sale,” Shaw told judges. “We expect a big push for the holidays and are well on our way to our goal of $55,000 in sales this year.” She said they expect an initial cost of $12,000 to establish a process for manufacturing their product at Vermont Teddy Bear Company and that the grant funding would help them avoid passing that off to their consumers. Judges selected Ashley Reynolds, founder of Elmore Mountain Therapeutics, a Morrisville-based (See VCET, Page 3)

Reynolds’ company helps existing Vermont entrepreneurs in food, beverage and beauty products create, brand and market CBD-infused things like lip balm, chocolate, juice, coffee, lotions and dog treats. The company supplies and tests CBD extract, and Reynolds says her company currently bottles and hand-sterilizes all of their CBD products themselves. They currently partner with more than 40 Vermont women-owned businesses and plan to use the $20,000 in prize money to purchase commercial sterilizing and automated packaging equipment, and to upgrade their Morrisville facility to accommodate the shift. Reynolds discovered CBD while dealing with post-partum anxiety after a pregnancy. “I want to spread the word about how beneficial CBD can be for women, who make the majority of decisions about healthcare in American households,” said Reynolds. “Our goal is to get that message across and create products that are as dynamic as we women are, juggling work, kids, housework. I know we can be successful.” In her pitch, Reynolds pointed to growth in the CBD sector of the cannabis industry. “The market for CBD is growing faster than for recreational cannabis,” said Reynolds. However, she plans to keep her company local and work with Vermont businesses to create artisanal CBD products. Elmore Mountain Therapeutics produces a CBD balm in-house, as well as a whole-plant CBD extract tincture, which it sells to local coffee shops in the form of 25mg CBD shots. “We’ve had some businesses report

Then she recommended that other women join the cannabis industry. “Just 36 percent of the cannabis industry is owned by women. I encourage you all to get involved,” Reynolds told the audience. Funding for the prizes was provided by the event’s sponsors: Middlebury College, The Vermont Community Foundation, Sultanas Group, The Vermont Women’s Fund, Hotel Vermont, VCET, Vermont Technology Council and a private donor.

Editorial

Brett Kavanaugh:

Just another festering wound Last week, the nation’s attention was focused almost wholly on the allegations against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford when in high school. The allegations came about because Kavanaugh had presented himself as a “choir boy” while in high school and college — a statement that drew howls of refute from classmates and others who knew him as a heavy drinker and far less than the saint he portrayed himself to be. It was the lie he told that has caused Kavanaugh’s initial problems, but it also wasn’t his first. Reports have now documented several lies the Supreme Court nominee has made in various positions of power. A habit of lying is not an honorable trait for a judge, but neither are the character traits he has shown under fire. Hence the uproar over his nomination, and the partisan battle it has become. With Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., moving the nomination forward in committee with the caveat that the FBI have a week to pursue an investigation in the sexual assault claims, the reckoning day has been postponed until Friday. Much has been written on the subject, so we won’t belabor the issue, but rather point to two recent essays we encourage you to read: One was written by Washington Post columnist Alexandra Petri, on Sept. 28, in a piece called: “It is very difficult to get the train to stop.” It’s a woman’s perspective, certainly, but it speaks of truth in a unique way that is more personal than political and right on target. Another interesting piece was written this weekend by former FBI Director James Comey, who had once been praised by Trump, then later fired. Comey writes deftly of what now faces the FBI with its latest charge to look into the allegations against Kavanaugh, but it’s his first three paragraphs, about the nation as it is under Trump, that is so damning. “The F.B.I. is back in the middle of it,” Comey writes. “President Trump’s decision to order a one-week investigation into sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, his Supreme Court nominee, comes in a time of almost indescribable pain and anger, lies and attacks. “We live in a world where the president routinely attacks the F.B.I. because he fears its work. He calls for his enemies to be prosecuted and his friends freed. ... We live in a world where the president is an accused serial abuser of women, who was caught on tape bragging about his ability to assault women and now likens the accusations against his nominee to the many ‘false’ accusations against him. “Most disturbingly, we live in a world where millions of Republicans and their representatives think nearly everything in the previous paragraph is O.K…. “If truth were the only goal, there would be no clock... Instead, it seems that the Republican goal is to be able to say there was an investigation and it didn’t change their view, while the Democrats hope for incriminating evidence to derail the nominee. “Although the process is deeply flawed... the F.B.I. is up for this. It’s not as hard as Republicans hope it will be… Yes, the alleged incident occurred 36 years ago. But F.B.I. agents know time has very little to do with memory. They know every married person remembers the weather on their wedding day, no matter how long ago. Significance drives memory. They also know that little lies point to bigger lies. They know that obvious lies by the nominee about the meaning of words in a yearbook are a flashing signal to dig deeper…. “Although the F.B.I. won’t reach conclusions, their granular factual presentation will spotlight the areas of conflict and allow decision makers to reach their own conclusions… It is idiotic to put a shot clock on the F.B.I. But it is better to give professionals seven days to find facts than have no professional investigation at all….” There’s much more to ponder as the week progresses, and we urge you to find the time to read the full essays of Ms. Petri and Mr. Comey. But beyond Kavanaugh’s nomination, what’s disheartening is that in Trump’s White House issues are like wounds festering in the muck, void of truth and integrity. It’s the way of his world, and he seems to delight in it. Angelo Lynn

Letters to the Editor County needs effective leaders, not feel-good rhetoric With Senator Claire Ayer’s decision not to seek re-election, Addison County has a rare open seat for Vermont Senate this November. As both a constituent and a colleague (from 2003-2016) I want to give my heartfelt thanks to Senator Ayer for her disciplined and dedicated service. Making progress in the State House is difficult, and to be successful you need to work hard — but hard work alone is not enough. Only when you are trusted and respected by a wide range of members can you make real progress. Senator Ayer demonstrated

this, and we owe it to our county to replace her with someone who will be just as effective. I have worked with many of this year’s Senate candidates, including serving with both Senator Chris Bray and Paul Ralston. Chris, like Claire, has a long record of accomplishment delivering major bills — bills that have created jobs and a cleaner, healthier environment. He deserves our continued support. In contrast, Paul’s four years in Montpelier produced very little. I have worked with Ruth Hardy on education issues during a

difficult time of change, and I have heard very positive things about her work in the Middlebury College Treasurer’s office in tight budget times. I will be proudly voting for the re-election of Chris Bray and for the election of Ruth Hardy to fill Senator Ayer’s open seat. Both have demonstrated a willingness to take on difficult issues using a collaborative approach, engaging both those who agree with them and those who don’t. Addison County needs genuine (See Letter, Page 5)

Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Andrews, 39, Paradise, Calif. PARADISE, Calif. — Elizabeth Norton Andrews (“Betsy”) died unexpectedly at her home in Paradise, Calif., on Wednesday, September 26, due to respiratory failure from Rett Syndrome. She was 39 years old. Betsy is the beloved daughter of Robert Andrews and Elizabeth Norton of Susanville, Calif. She was born in Chester, Calif., in 1979 with Rett Syndrome, a rare degenerative neurological disease that affects a child’s motor functions and cognitive skills. Although she could not walk or speak, Betsy led an active lifestyle with her family where she was fully integrated in family activities including biking, hiking, boating and camping. She graduated from the Pearson Center Community Classroom for special education students in Paradise, Calif., in July 1981. Betsy lived in Addison County, Vt., from 1981 to 1993. From 1999 until

her death, Betsy resided in Paradise, Calif., at a group home where she thrived. The family wishes to acknowledge with deep gratitude the wonderful care she received from all the staff at her Alpine home. Betsy had a profound influence on everyone who touched her life. She was known for her sweet disposition and strong spirit which helped her live as long as she did despite the complications from Rett. She was loved beyond measure. Betsy is survived by her sister (Kristen) of Friday Harbor, Wash., and two brothers (David and Ethan) who reside in Irvine, Calif., and Aromas, Calif., as well as numerous nephews and nieces. For those who mourn her passing, the family encourages you to extend a spontaneous act of kindness to another in Betsy’s memory. Loving kindness is the essence of who Betsy was. ◊

earliest known cave paintings, was discovered in 1994 and is considered one of the most significant prehistoric art sites. Herzog captures the wonder and beauty of one of the most aweinspiring sites on earth, all the while musing in his inimitable fashion about its original inhabitants, the birth of art, and the curious people surrounding the caves today. Hundreds of cave paintings depict at least thirteen different species, including horses, cattle, lions, panthers, bears, rhinos and even hyenas. The artists used techniques not often seen in other cave art making the Chauvet Cave an important record of Paleolithic life in all of its savage detail.

Aleksandrs Antonenko and Yonghoon Lee alternate as Radamès. This grandest of grand operas features an epic backdrop for what is in essence an intimate love story. Set in ancient Egypt and packed with magnificent choruses, complex ensembles, and elaborate ballets, “Aida” never loses sight of its three (See Arts Beat, Page 11)

Colonial meetinghouses talk in Ferrisburgh FERRISBURGH — Photographer and historian Paul Wainwright will give a presentation on Colonial Meetinghouses of New England at the Ferrisburgh Community Center/Town Hall on Sunday, Oct. 14, at 2 p.m. The presentation is sponsored by the Ferrisburgh Historical society and Vermont Humanities Council. Wainwright is a landscape and architectural photographer who works in a traditional manner utilizing sheet film, a large-format camera and silver gelatin printing. Based in New Hampshire, his work is included in private, corporate, and public

collections, including the Boston Public Library and Fidelity Investments. Wainwright’s images reflect an eye for space and light, subtle details, and a keen appreciation of history. The presentation is based on Wainwright’s book, “A Space for Faith: The Colonial Meetinghouses of New England.” New England’s colonial meetinghouses embody an important yet little-known chapter in American history. Built mostly with tax money, they served as both places of worship and places for town meetings, and were the centers of life in colonial New England

communities. Using photographs of the few surviving “mint condition” meetinghouses as illustrations, Wainwright tells the story of the society that built and used them, and the lasting impact they have had on American culture. The event is FREE and all are welcome.

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

Middlebury Union High School is pleased to introduce Ben Turner, son of Dave and Laura Turner of Middlebury, as its student of the week. Ben’s older sister, Lauren, is a sophomore at Lawrence University in Wisconsin and his younger sister, Hannah, is a ninth-grader at MUHS. A two-sport varsity athlete, Ben captains the Tiger soccer and hockey teams and he is considering playing Ultimate Frisbee in the spring. An active member of the MUHS National Honor Society, Ben’s name regularly appears on the school’s honor roll. He spent the summer working with a friend installing solar panels and found the work interesting and enjoyable. Ben serves as a peer leader to the newly enrolled ninth-graders and advises them to take full advantage of all that is available at the high school. He reflects that he cannot believe how quickly his time in high school has gone by. Ben has pursued a challenging curriculum throughout high school, including six Advanced Placement courses, and while he enjoys all of his classes, he favors math and Ben Turner science. He was the recipient of three prestigious awards MUHS at last June’s Final Assembly. Ben was recognized for his athletic and academic talents when he was named a recipient of the school’s esteemed Dorey Cup. It is given annually to a male and female student based on their academic record, athletic ability and leadership skills. Ben received the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Medal and an award from Clarkson University, both came with substantial merit scholarships. As Ben looks ahead to college, he seeks a liberal arts education where he can continue his interest in mathematics and science. He hopes to stay in the Northeast and is excited about the remainder of his senior year. We know a bright future awaits this talented young man and have appreciated his many contributions to the MUHS community.

Vergennes Union High School

Vergennes Union High School is pleased to recognize Abigail Smith as its Student of the Week. Abigail lives in West Addison with her dad and mom, Peter and Dawn Smith. Abigail has two older siblings, Rachael, who is 25, and Peter, who is 24. Abigail has been on the honor roll throughout her entire high school career. She has also been the band president for the past two years. Abigail plays the alto saxophone in band and has been playing since the 4th grade. Outside of school Abigail has several jobs. She helps out on the family farm and does some part-time property maintenance. She loves helping with her family’s sugaring business. Abigail also bakes cakes for special occasions. She has volunteered to feed veterans at the Thanksgiving meal at the Legion. In Abigail’s free time she loves spending time with her family, baking and decorating cakes and cupcakes. Abigail enjoys long range shooting with her father, brother, and her Uncle Terry and deer hunting. Abigail says this about her high school career: “What I’ve learned from Abigail Smith my high school experience is no matter how hard your classes are or how VUHS rough the day is there is always someone there for you when you need it. Whether it is a favorite teacher, a morning meeting advisor, a friend or a family member, someone is always there for you, and is there to help you figure out your next move. If I had to give advice to other students it would be to work hard. Putting off assignments only hurts yourself.” Dennis West, a teacher at VUHS says this about Abigail, “Having known Abby now for the past three years, I have seen her passion for fairness, sense of humor, compassion for others and her unbelievable culinary skills. Abby always goes way above and beyond expectations. She takes great pride in her work and loves to be challenged. She will truly be missed at VUHS, but at the same time Abby is ready for her next adventure at Johnson and Wales College, her college of choice.” Following graduation from VUHS Abigail plans on going to Johnson and Wales to study Baking and Pastry Arts and Food Service Management. The faculty, staff and students of VUHS wish Abigail the very best in the future.

Students of the week from all area high schools will receive a gift certificate from Vermont Book Shop, and a gift card from 7 South Sandwiches. Students of the Week are chosen by school teachers and administration.

We’re proud to support all area students and want to say Thanks to those who volunteer with us!

Bike route (Continued from Page 1) toward understanding how we can make our roads safer for both drivers and cyclists.” If approved, the Triangle Bike Loop, which covers roughly 32 miles of established roadways, would include the alpine views of Munger Street, the leafy corridor of Green Street and rustic Plank Road. “This does feel like a milestone,” said New Haven resident Doug McKain, a member of the WalkBike Council of Addison County

who has worked tirelessly on behalf of bicyclists for a number of years. “I know that other cyclists and I have long envisioned connecting Middlebury, Vergennes and Bristol with a bike route that would enhance both commuting by bicycle and recreational cycling. That this is a significant first step in that direction is exciting.” Like the Champlain Bikeways route around Lake Champlain, the Triangle Bike Loop could be signed, which McKain said would

raise motorists’ awareness that there are cyclists on the road, making traveling safer for both cyclists and motorists. The Municipal Planning Grant (MPG) program, administered by the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development, encourages and supports planning and revitalization for local municipalities in the state. Since 1998 the program has awarded more than $12 million to cities and towns across Vermont. In 2018,

Shoreham historical society to meet Oct. 3 SHOREHAM — The Shoreham Historical Society will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at Platt Memorial Library at 7 p.m. The speakers will be three members of the Green Mountain Boys Project, who are responsible for the clean up that has been done in the Callendar Cemetery.

They are a group of historians who are attempting to do biographies on all of the original Green Mountain Boys. They plan to prepare a report for each town that the Boys hailed from including information on the men, where they lived, where they are buried, etc. The October talk will be about

the men who came from Shoreham. They will also present their findings in written form to the Historical Society. There will be a brief business meeting as well as light refreshments served. The public is invited the public to join this interesting evening.

Assimilating class and VTrans data on bicycling, Middlebury College students last spring proposed this “Tri-Town Loop” connecting Bristol, Middlebury and Vergennes. Cycling advocates and local planners hope to use a state grant to more closely examine the route and develop a master biking plan from it.

Noori recorded the following travel times: • Middlebury to Vergennes: 37 minutes. • Vergennes to Bristol: 42 minutes. • Bristol to Middlebury: 42 minutes. These times should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt, however: Noori is an accomplished bicyclist with Olympic aspirations. Whether or not the proposed route becomes permanent remains to be seen. Part of the master plan project is to vet every detail of that route, so parts of it could change if better alternatives are found. Some New Haven residents are also hoping to

MONDAY

OV field hockey wins to stay near top of D-II

By ANDY KIRKALDY BRANDON — The Otter Valley Union High School field hockey team entertained its homecoming crowd on Saturday with a strong effort, a 3-0 victory over Springfield. The Otters outshot the Cosmos, 20-1, and got two goals from junior Alia Edmunds and one from freshman Brittney Jackson. They improved to 6-2 and trail only 5-0-2 Mount Abraham in the Division II standings. Coach Stacey Edmunds was happy to see her team play more aggressively than she thought they did in a 2-1 loss at home to Woodstock three days before. “We did go after the ball a little better today. We were flat against Woodstock. That changes our game enormously. When we stay after the ball that keeps the tempo up and we do play better,” Edmunds said. “So that’s what I try to say to them, maintain that attack consistently and we’ll be much better off.” Despite 13 first-half shots and constant pressure it took until 10:56 was left in the period for OV to dent Cosmo goalie Anna Church (17 saves). Jackson, a wing, picked up the ball in the top right of the circle and took a touch forward before finding the goal’s far side from about 10 yards out. In the second half Church stopped both junior Morgan LaPorte and Edmunds in the second minute. But with 2:17 gone Edmunds followed a ball that bounced to the right of the Cosmo goal and pounded a sharply angled shot past Church’s right pad

denied freshman Alice Keith and then Riley Keith on the rebound, both from point blank. At 13:45 Edmunds solved her

again. Senior midfielder Sophie Markowski led Edmunds into the circle, and she shot low from near the penalty dot into Church’s pads.

Raiders spoil Tiger football homecoming

By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School football team came into Friday night’s homecoming game against Rutland averaging almost eight yards a carry on 128 attempts, according to stats provided by WVTK-FM radio announcer Bjarki Sears. Those numbers took a hit on Friday: The Raiders (4-1) allowed the Tigers just 82 yards in 32 carries, or about 2.6 yards per attempt. And that might be the single most telling stat in Rutland’s 42-7 victory: MUHS simply didn’t generate any push up front, nor would the Raiders allow the Tigers’ speedy backs to run wide. And with the running game slowed, the Raider line harassed Tiger quarterback Tim Goettelmann (See Tigers, Page 20)

Sports BRIEFS Milton topples Eagle football

MILTON — The host Milton High School football team on Friday outlasted Mount Abraham/Vergennes, 21-12, as the Eagles played another competitive Division II game but again came up short. Eagle rushers Kevin Pearsall (176 yards, two touchdowns) and Nevin Jamison (75) combined for 251 yards rushing, but the visitors still managed only 12 points. A 53-yard, third-quarter run by Milton quarterback Jacob Laware gave the Yellowjackets a cushion. Laware finished with 92 yards rushing, and also tossed a 41-yard TD pass to Colin Mathis in the second quarter. Milton back Eric Godin added a 34-yard first-half scoring run. The Eagles visit Bellows Falls on Saturday.

OTTER VALLEY UNION High School senior Timothy Kittler breaks up a Woodstock play Saturday morning in Brandon.

Woodstock finds the net and beats OV, 1-0 By ANDY KIRKALDY BRANDON — The Otter Valley Union High School boys’ soccer team did a lot of things right in the Otters’ homecoming game on Saturday, but not enough to knock off visiting Woodstock, which did one thing OV did not — find the net in a 1-0 victory. The OV backline of seniors Nate Claessens in the middle and Tim Kittler on the right and freshman Kieran Williams on the left limited the Wasps’ chances, and senior goalie Clay Hays positioned himself well to make eight saves, came off his line to pick off clears, and punched away a couple of dangerous serves. The midfielders, notably seniors Ethan Sulik-Doty and Patrick McKeighan and junior Sawyer Pierpont, looked for each other and worked to possess and move the ball purposefully into the attack, where senior Reilly Shannon posed a constant

threat for the Wasp defense. “I think we’re doing the right things, and this was a good game for us,” said OV Coach Dick Williams. “This was a level match. The score even shows it.” But the 4-2-1 Wasps also dealt OV its second straight shutout loss, and the 2-5-1 Otters have scored just once in their other three setbacks. Williams acknowledged his offense has yet to fire on all cylinders. “We’re struggling to get the final touches. They definitely developed some better chances. We’re getting to the final third as good as any team. We have to create a little better chances, a little better opportunities,” Williams said. “We’re working on it, but it’s a work in progress.” Saturday’s first half was scoreless, with Woodstock outshooting OV by 5-4 and both Hays and Wasp goalie Stephen Bianchi making two

saves. But Hays also had to beat Will Crompton to a through ball in the ninth minute and punch out an Emilio Montano serve in the 15th minute. For OV Shannon just missed the upper right corner with a 35-yard bomb in the 16th minute, and Pierpont had a good look at goal on a feed from sophomore Cole Letourneau, but Bianchi (three saves in all) handled it cleanly in the 34th minute. The Wasps outshot OV by 10-6 in the second half and scored a pretty goal in the fourth minute. Tim Bisaillon sent a long, high ball from the left flank to Montano, who controlled in the far side of the box and chipped a 12-yard shot over the charging Hays. OV pressed between the half’s 10th and 15th minutes. Sulik-Doty’s long bid from the left side sailed past the far post, and a defender

also blocked his hard shot from just outside the box. McKeighan had a chance on a feed from Shannon, but his bid rolled to Bianchi. The Wasps then reasserted themselves, and Claessens and Hays in particular made plays to preserve the one-goal deficit. In the final minute the Wasps defended a McKeighan direct kick, and one last Sulik-Doty shot from distance went high. Still, Williams was not discouraged. Many players from the 2017 team that posted the program’s first winning season in years graduated, and he said this year’s group has a positive outlook and is putting in just as much effort, both during games and practices. “We’re working on things and we’re trying to do a tactical game plan and everything like that,” Williams said. “So I’m pleased. That’s what a coach wants to see guys do.”

Girls’ soccer: VUHS and OV net victories

ADDISON COUNTY — Vergennes Union High School topped host Middlebury to highlight girls’ soccer play late last week. The Commodores also won again to move over .500, while the Tigers dropped a second home game. In other action Otter Valley picked up a win, but Mount Abraham lost another close contest. VUHS VS. MUHS On Thursday the Commodores earned a 3-1 victor at MUHS. Ailey Bosworth scored for the Tigers from just outside the 18 to give her team the first-half lead, but Leah

Croke, from Ciara McClay, equalized quickly, and Ema Gernander, from Emily Rooney, gave VUHS the lead before the break. Rooney added a late pad goal in the second half. Tiger goalies Carly Burger (two saves) and Julia Bartlett (one) split time, and VUHS goalie Kate Gosliga made three saves. On Saturday the Commodores improved to 4-3-1 by topping winless Missisquoi, 3-0, in their homecoming game. Rooney and McClay had a goal and an assist apiece and Kylie Comeau also scored. Gosliga had an-

other three-save outing, while MVU’s Madison Conley stopped 16 shots. On Friday visiting Milton outlasted the Tigers, 7-4. MUHS (1-7) struck for an early 2-0 lead, but Emma Wennar scored four times to lead a Milton rally. For Middlebury Ivy Doran recorded two goals and an assist, Michelle Skovsgaard and Merry Kimble also found the net, and Bosworth and Ada Anderson picked up assists. OTTERS On Friday OV’s Olivia White (three goals, assist) and Julia Eastman (two goals) paced the attack as

the Otters knocked off visiting Bellows Falls, 5-1. The Otters improved to 3-5 with their second straight win, this one in their homecoming game. EAGLES On Thursday visiting Milton rallied to defeat the Eagles, 4-3. Milton’s Wennar scored four times, including three in the second half to erase a 3-1 Eagle lead. Chloe Johnston scored twice and Becca Laurent once for Mount Abe, and Addy Harris set up two goals. Eagle goalie Justice Green stopped five shots, and Milton’s Michaelyn Fagan made seven saves.

Otters (Continued from Page 18) she has that the Otters lacked last season with a smaller squad. There is a downside, with not enough numbers to field a JV team, but several freshmen are contributing. Edmunds said with the reinforcements the team has offensive balance that at times has been missing in the past. “The nicest change for us this year is we have some scoring depth,” Edmunds said. “I think nine or 10 of our players have scored this year. From freshmen to seniors we have girls that can put the balls in the cage.” OV also has a three-year starter in goal in junior Ellie Ross. Edmunds said is confident in Ross and her defense of returning starter Gabriella LaGrange (one of three only seniors on the team along with Markowski and midfielder/defender Jordan Laraway) in the middle and junior veteran Livia Bernhardt and sophomore Jadynn Pope on the flanks. “When I have those three in the back that’s a really solid backfield,” Edmunds said. After Saturday’s game she praised her midfield’s effort to transition the ball into the attack, notably junior Isabella Falco.

“It was a good effort, good ball movement today,” she said. The Otters will be challenged down the stretch by Burr & Burton, fifth place in D-II, and Windsor,

at 6-2 second in D-III; both those teams defeated OV last fall. But Edmunds is confident her team can continue to thrive. “I’m anxious to see how we fare

against the likes of Burr & Burton and Windsor,” Edmunds said. “I think that these girls have potential to solidify as we finish out the season.”

Moore (94 yards) and Peters (19 carries, 101 yards) consistently found running room as the Raiders outgained the Tigers, 395-194. Smith said the Tigers have to do better defensively. “We were missing open-field tackles. And the secondary was too jumpy in trying to come up and help with the run, and all of a sudden there goes the ball over the top,” Smith said. “It’s having faith in everybody on your team and working together. We’ve got seven guys committed to stop the run. We’ve got four guys committed to stop the pass,” he said. “You’ve got to do your job.” Smith noted the Tigers’ schedule remains tough: They visit undefeated Burr & Burton, in first place in D-II, this weekend, and host Burlington/South Burlington (4-1) the following weekend. He said is confident in what he called “a great group of kids” can regroup, but said they will have to dig deep. “My message is, ‘How are you going to react. What are you going to do to hopefully fix the things that happened tonight and be ready on Monday to practice again?” he said. “That comes from you. It can’t come from me. I can rah-rah. I can holler at you. I can do this and that. But it’s got to come from you.” Andy Kirkaldy may be reached at andyk@addisonindependent.com.

Tigers (Continued from Page 18) (two-for-nine for 112 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions) when he tried to throw. “It just wasn’t happening for us,” said MUHS Coach Dennis Smith, whose team dropped to 2-3 and into eighth place in Division I. “Offensive line-wise we were just allowing too much seepage periodically, and we were not giving enough time for the quarterback. And, yeah, we were trying to hit the edge with what speed we had, but I take my hat off to Rutland. They came ready in all facets, and we got a lesson tonight.” When the Tigers did get something going, mistakes proved costly. An illegal motion penalty helped stall one drive early on, the Tigers allowed Raider QB Ryan Moore to toss a 78-yard TD pass to Lucas Hubbard on second-and-15 to make it 14-0, the first Tiger interception came in Rutland territory with the score at 14-0 in the second period, and after a 30-yard reception Zachary Dunn tried to fight for extra yards, but fumbled when he was swarmed by defenders. That turnover set up the Raiders at the 50 with 3:19 left in the half, and six plays later QB Ryan Moore hit Malik Henderson from 17 yards out to make it 21-0 at intermission. The Tigers had a chance to get back into the game at 9:23 of the third, when Bode Rubright recovered a Rutland fumble at the Raider 46.

HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society Maggie. 16 years, Cocker Spaniel, spayed female. Maggie is a super sweet pup with a tranquil, loving spirit. She has been living with a temporary guardian since her human mama passed away last year, but is now ready to settle into a home of her own! Maggie loves children, gets along with cats, and enjoys playing with dogs her own size. Due to a traumatic event when she was younger she has developed a fear of large dogs, so would prefer to not have any large dogs in her new home. Maggie is staying with her current guardian while we help to find her a new home. For more information or to arrange a visit, please call 802-377-9162. Apollo. 1 year, Hound/German Shepherd mix, neutered male. Apollo is a sweet, energetic young dog looking for a home where he will get lots of exercise and play! This sweet boy has lived with dogs and older children, and would probably do ok with a confident, dog-savvy cat. Apollo is crate trained and knows several commands, though he would benefit from additional behavior training. For Apollo to thrive in a home his new guardians will need to provide daily outlets for his energy. With his long legs and puppy energy he would make a fantastic running/hiking partner! Baxter. 3 years, Doberman mix, neutered male. Baxter is a handsome, mischievous young dog looking for a home where he will gets lots of exercise and structure- if he doesn’t get enough mental and physical exercise his mischievous side can get the better of him. Baxter gets along with respectful children and dogs that he has been properly introduced to, though we are unsure how he does with cats. He is very loving, to the extent that he can become a bit over protective of the person he bonds with, but with proper exercise and firm guidance he will make a wonderful companion!

Dear Homeward Bound, Help! I have new neighbors and they have a dog that seems really nervous around us. I’m worried because our old neighbors had a super-friendly dog that was friendly with my 6-year-old son and would let him hug and kiss him all the time and I don’t know what this dog might do if my son gets too close to him. Curious (and Worried!)

Dear Curious (and Worried!)

Lots of children, and many adults, don’t know how to properly say hello to dogs and thus put themselves at risk. Unlike humans, dogs do not naturally greet each other straight on. In fact, looking a dog in the eye and sticking your hand out at them (as you might to person whose hand you wanted to shake

upon meeting) is very threatening to a dog. It is a challenge to the dog. Dogs naturally greet each other in a sidelong fashion with eyes largely averted or flicking back and forth but don’t keep prolonged eye contact. The best way to meet a new dog to show them that you are not a threat is to turn slightly sideways and stretch your hand out beneath the dog’s muzzle and let them make the first contact by sniffing you. Speaking in a soft, light voice as you do so is also appropriate. A dog that wants to get to know you will make contact with your hand and will initiate more touching by nudging you with his or her muzzle and maybe even body. A dog that is afraid or does not want to get to know you will not make the

initial contact. He or she may look away (telling you “I’m afraid!) or even stare (telling you “I don’t like you; get away!”) You and your son could maybe practice saying hello with a stuffed animal dog and then you could ask your neighbor if they would mind putting their dog on a leash while you come over to say hello. If you say hello in proper dog style, you will accomplish three things: One, your son will stay safe; two, you will find out if the dog is interested in getting to know you better over time; and three, you will have shown the dog that new people can be nice! Good luck.

OLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Curtis Borden began volunteering at Homeward Bound in March of 2018 as a way of staying involved in the community and spending time with the animals. Each week, Curtis spends a couple of hours working with the cats that need extra attention or driving animals back and forth to their veterinarian appointments. Recently, he’s become an ambassador to the dogs as well, spending time helping them adjust to their surroundings. Regardless of which function Curtis is performing it’s clear he loves being helpful to them. Curtis points out that the animals give him peace-of-mind and that he’d truly miss them if he couldn’t come to volunteer. While that may be true, we know that the animals and staff at Homeward Bound can’t thank Curtis enough for his patient, devotion and support. We would miss him.

Music, art, lasting impressions talk set at Ilsley Library

MIDDLEBURY — Dartmouth professor Irene Kacandes will look at the role played by the creative arts in communicating important truths in a talk at Ilsley Public Library in Middlebury on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m. Her talk, “Creativity and Historical Truths,” is part of the Vermont Humanities Council’s First Wednesdays lecture series and is free and open to the public. Despite journalism’s essential role in informing the public about significant events, Prof. Kacandes will argue that it’s memoir, fiction, music, and art that often best convey truth and leave lasting impressions. Kacandes is the Dartmouth Professor of German Studies and Comparative Literature at Dartmouth College.
