NEARLY 200 PEOPLE rallied on the Middlebury town green Thursday evening to urge President Trump not to meddle in the Robert Mueller investigation. That came the night after civil rights activist DeRay McKesson, below, touched on the investigation in a talk at Middlebury College before more broadly discussing values and activism.

Civil rights activist offers hope Black Lives Matter organizer inspires action in local talk By CHRISTOPHER ROSS MIDDLEBURY — A day after the midterm elections, with conversations about voting rights still front and center, civil rights activist DeRay McKesson took the mic at Middlebury College’s Wilson Hall and asked his audience a simple question: “What can you buy for $300?” Answers from the capacity crowd included “books,” “a television” and “sports-game tickets.” One student’s answer — “a hamster” — occasioned goodnatured laughter throughout the hall. McKesson’s question was quite serious, however: “I asked you that because right now, in Florida, theft over $300 is a felony, and when you become a felon you permanently lose your right to vote and to run for public office.” This will change, he pointed out (to great applause), because Florida voters the day before had amended their state’s constitution, automatically restoring voting rights for people with prior felony (See Activists, Page 24)

By RUSSELL JONES BRANDON — Residents of the Otter Valley Unified Union School District on Election Day narrowly defeated a $5.5 million school bond to improve school security and operations in three of the district’s buildings. The next day school board members gathered to discuss next steps but came to no firm conclusions. The bond, which failed by 86 votes, 1,827-1,913, would have provided funding for various projects at Lothrop and Neshobe elementary schools and the Otter Valley Union middle and high school. The to-do-list includes walkways connecting various buildings, teaching spaces and a gymnasium at Neshobe in Brandon, and a balcony restoration at Lothrop, among other things. At a Nov. 7 meeting, many school board members were optimistic after such a close vote. They discussed what steps should be taken moving forward, with some wondering if the same size bond (See Bond, Page 33)

HOPE Holiday Shop in need of toy donations By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — Helping Overcome Poverty’s Effects (HOPE) officials are enlisting the help of local businesses, restaurants, places of worship and individuals to boost what has become an historically low inventory of free toys that are given to low-income children through the organization’s Holiday Shop. “This is as low as I’ve seen it,” longtime HOPE Executive Director Jeanne Montross said of the Holiday Shop’s toy reserves. How low? Usually, the HOPE Holiday Shop has at least four gaylords full of toys that carry over from one holiday season to the next. Each Gaylord (See HOPE, Page 33)

AS DRIVERS LEAVE the village of Lincoln heading west on River Road they encounter a sharp curve that speeders often can’t negotiate and end up in the yard of Don Gale’s Twin Maple Sugar House. Lincoln officials are considering ways to get drivers to slow down.

Lincoln looking to put the brakes on speeders By CHRISTOPHER ROSS LINCOLN — People are driving too fast in Lincoln and the town has had enough. “We have to do something,” selectboard member Ellie Bryant told the Independent. “It’s almost lawless up here.” Bryant’s main concern, she said, was the town center, where pedestrians cross the streets between school, church, Lincoln General Store and Burnham Hall. The town has installed a painted crosswalk, Bryant said, but it’s been hard to gauge its effectiveness. In December Lincoln will install a pair solar-powered traffic radar signs, which she hopes will encourage drivers to check their speedometers.

“People speed coming into town tell Gale where she lived, he said. and they speed going out of town,” The Vermont State Police later she said, adding that many of the determined that her blood-alcohol offenders are just passing through. content was three times the legal Resident Don Gale limit of 0.8. has had firsthand exAnother driver, stuck perience with some of “We have to do in the snow, furiously these speeders.

answer soon. The Lincoln selectboard is exploring the possibility of contracting with the Bristol Police Department, Vermont State Police or Addison County Sheriff’s Department to establish a traffic enforcement presence in the town. The Bristol selectboard recently authorized its police district chief, Bruce Nason, to discuss a potential contract with the town of Lincoln, but it did so warily. “We’re short-staffed now,” said Bristol selectboard member Joel Bouvier. “If we’re going to spend another 10 to 12 hours, I’d like to see it in (Bristol) village.” The town of Lincoln will give Addison County’s new sheriff, Peter

Newton, some time to “settle in” before approaching his department about a possible contract, Bryant said. Newton was elected to be sheriff this past Tuesday and won’t officially take over until the end the year. What sort of contract will emerge remains to be seen, but Bryant said she hopes it will result in a police cruiser parked at various locations in Lincoln, at different times of the day. As for speed-trap locations, Gale offered one idea. “They ought to sit in my driveway,” he said. “It’s a great place to catch speeders.” Reach christopherr@addisonindepenent.com.

Bevere readies recount request in SA election By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury independent Peter Bevere on Tuesday, Nov. 13, will officially petition for a recount of votes cast in the election for Addison County state’s attorney, in an effort to erase a ninevote edge held by incumbent Dennis Wygmans following an initial ballot tabulation on Nov. 6. Wygmans — a South Burlington Democrat making his election bid for the office he’s held since early 2017 — seemingly defeated Bevere, a Middlebury independent and chief deputy prosecutor in Rutland County, by a razor-thin 7,802 to 7,793 tally in the most suspenseful Addi(See Recount, Page 3)

Car slams into city clinic; patients to be rerouted By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — Vergennes patients, doctors and UVM Health Network officials were scrambling late last week after a car on Thursday rammed the front of the Vergennes UVM Health Network Primary Care practice on North Street and wound up partially entering its waiting room. Porter Medical Center spokesman Ron Hallman and Vergennes police confirmed nobody was hurt in the noontime accident, which forced the office to close and to reschedule Thursday afternoon and Friday appointments and send patients to UVM network practices in Bristol and Middlebury. Doctors at the Vergennes practices “deployed to other practices” to take care of patients, Hallman said. The Vergennes office remained closed on Friday while officials assessed the damage. That damage was limited to the

waiting area, and Hallman said construction engineers onsite on Friday believed a temporary fix could put the practice online as soon as Monday. “It could be up and running fairly quickly,” he said, adding, “It appears at this point we’ll be back in business early next week.” Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel said police believe the driver of the car was going to the practice, but when she pulled into a parking spot she accidentally pressed her vehicle’s gas pedal instead of its brake pedal. The car then struck a support post on an entrance overhang before breaking through the exterior wall of the waiting room, compromising that part of the structure. Police received the accident alert at 12:03 p.m., and the Vergennes Area Rescue Squad and Vergennes Fire Department also responded to the scene.

A D D IS ON INDE P E NDEN T

Editorial

Of elections and ‘the Dream’ A generation or so ago, the American Dream was writ large in our cultural DNA. Symbolically, the dream came to mean owning an adequate house, having a family, a car and a job to pay for it all. In the 1950s-60s70s, that seemed to be possible for a majority of Americans. The mantra was that if you graduated high school, worked hard, and kept your nose clean you’d get to that dream in your thirties, start building equity and have enough to retire on Social Security by 65. That was the life. Today, that dream seems like a long shot for many. A high school diploma is no longer a ticket to a good job, but rather a ticket to poverty if that’s all the training one gets; higher education is mandatory but can leave you deep in debt; because both parents must work to support a household, the costs of childcare are a major expense today; and housing costs are higher than ever. It’s no surprise that elections are more about reaching that dream than we might realize. In talking to area candidates following this year’s election, two observations became clear: 1) Campaigning is hard work; many representatives and senators who won went door-to-door in their districts — five, six and seven days at week toward the end — visiting district households over a three-to-six month period; 2) what they found were lots of people who were just barely getting by. Talk to Sen. Chris Bray about the six months he spent going doorto-door throughout much of Addison County and he’ll tell you of folks who are working hard but having a hard time making it; he’ll tell you of young families whose child care costs can eat up a quarter or more of their income; Vermont’s lack of housing; of businesses struggling with health care costs; and wages too low to pay the bills. As newly elected Sen. Cheryl Hooker of Rutland said of her door-todoor visits, “what most people want is just to be able to live, work and play here and not go broke.” To that end, Gov. Phil Scott has been right on target with his campaign mantra: making Vermont more affordable. But he has the wrong answer. Much of his first two years were devoted to staving off tax increases, which also prevented more progress on the issues that could help lowerand-middle-income Vermonters. The policy issues that must be addressed include wages, housing, health care, childcare and the high cost of higher education. But Scott is opposed to raising the minimum wage; has not taken the lead on health care; created a few programs to create affordable housing but the dollar investment is too small; and talks about funding higher education and early childcare, but refuses to add the money to make a difference. He has had a “no new taxes” pledge, which in effect translates to keeping the programs Vermonters most need underfunded — all for the sake of a campaign slogan. What Gov. Scott should do is visit the 1,400 homes that newly elected Rep. Stephanie Jerome did over the past four months in her district of Brandon. Sudbury and Pittsford. Out of the 1,500 homes in her district, she gained crucial insight into the real need that is out there. What she knows is that creating affordable health care is not a campaign sound bite. It’s the number one concern on Vermonters’ minds. Affordable housing is not a checkmark on a campaign brochure, it’s seeing families flee to other states when no affordable options here are in sight. A higher minimum wage is not just some progressive ideal, it’s what would allow many Vermonters to just get by and not go broke. When you actually visit the people in need, inaction is not a viable option. We know no administration can pay for every program that offers a benefit, but Gov. Scott must also recognize that he can’t cut his way to success. If the state is to grow, just like a business he needs to invest in the state’s best assets. And he must remember that the bills coming from the House and Senate are coming from the representatives and senators who have just spent the better part of six months meeting and talking to Vermonters on their doorsteps. What they learned is that while Vermonters don’t expect a lot, helping them achieve the most basic of dreams should not be too much to ask. Angelo Lynn

Letters to the Editor Local pregnancy center focuses on hope and support Most of us are quite aware that we are amid a very polarized and divided time in our country. There is no shortage of strong accusations that are often made with insufficient research or inadequate knowledge of the topic. As a director of a pregnancy center here in Middlebury, I have seen a movement by abortion proponents to portray all pregnancy centers as designed to intimidate women who may be considering abortion. I have read the accusations and listened to the voices of those who “researched” and tried to prove that pregnancy centers pose as

medical clinics when they are not, that they use inaccurate information to “scare” women out of an abortion and that they are only concerned about “saving the baby” and don’t care about the woman. Because they are faith based, they are accused of being biased. I cannot speak to all pregnancy centers as we each act completely independently, but I would request that the Pregnancy Resource Center of Addison County not be found to be “guilty by association” even though most pregnancy centers are probably not guilty of the accusations made.

Currently, there are over 2,750 pregnancy help centers serving women, men and children across the U.S. According to a recent report from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, those centers served nearly 2 million people in 2017, with estimated community cost savings of at least $161 million. In 2017, pregnancy help centers provided parenting and prenatal education programs to nearly 300,000 clients across the country, setting parents up for longterm success, through pregnancy and after birth.

Letter (Continued from Page 4) surveys from two of the largest networks of pregnancy centers show the positive impact our centers have on the clients we serve. Heartbeat International and Care Net have reported client satisfaction rates of 91 and 97 percent, respectively. Our center, the Pregnancy Resource Center of Addison County, has served many women, men and children with support and education. Through material assistance, well pregnancy and parenting classes, as well as relationship and post abortion support, pregnancy centers are there to stand by women and families through all sorts of challenging circumstances. With our options counseling, we offer information about all their options. We are completely committed to a standard of honesty and providing accurate information about pregnancy, fetal development, lifestyle issues and related concerns. We state clearly that we do not offer abortions nor refer for abortions. We offer compassion, hope and practical help by providing support and services free of charge. I would

propose that anyone who wants to truly understand what the pregnancy center does would find that we offer non-directive, non-coercive and non-judgmental support that allows a woman to make a well-informed decision about her pregnancy as well as receive needed support should she decide to continue with her pregnancy. If she decides to terminate after our options counseling, we recognize that that is her decision and offer that we will always be there if she would want post-abortion support. We are faith-based, a faith shared by millions of people and a faith that allows us to respect and love the woman as well as her unborn child. Motivated by our respect for all life, the Pregnancy Resource Center of Addison County doesn’t focus on fear and guilt, but on hope and support. No one can argue that we all aren’t better off with a bit more of that these days. Joanie Praamsma Executive Director of the Pregnancy Resource Center of Addison County Middlebury

ACSD seeks facilities plan input MIDDLEBURY — Addison Central School District residents have two chances this week to share their views on how the district should prioritize the use of, and repairs to, its multiple school buildings and other physical assets during the next decade and beyond. At issue are “community dialogues” slated for Tuesday, Nov. 13, and Wednesday, Nov. 14, at which feedback will be sought for an “ACSD Facilities Master Plan” that is in the works. Both events begin at 6:30 p.m. and will take place at Middlebury Union Middle School on Middle Road. A seven-member ACSD Planning & Engagement Committee will run the meetings.

District officials want to bring community voices into the conversation of how best to align ACSD schools and other facilities with its education goals and enrollment realities, according to ACSD board Chairman Peter Conlon. ACSD includes the elementary schools in Bridport, Cornwall, Middlebury, Ripton, Salisbury, Shoreham and Weybridge; Middlebury Union middle and high schools; and the alternative education and ACSD central office buildings in Middlebury. The district is responsible for 12 buildings. Schools within ACSD and throughout Vermont have seen declining enrollment during the past

two decades. As the ACSD board wrestles with this new reality, it is asking questions — such as how to ensure equitable distribution of resources across the district, how to provide the best learning environment for all students, and how to maintain reasonable tax rates, according to Conlon. Input gathered at the community dialogues will be used by the board to develop a long-range plan to best meet consensus goals. Each meeting will begin with a presentation of information concerning student enrollment and other trends, followed by small group discussions. More information can be found at acsdvt.org.

Loans offered for working lands efforts MIDDLBURY — The Vermont Community Loan Fund has announced the second round of SPROUT, a low-interest loan program for emerging working lands entrepreneurs. The financing program was created to meet the capital needs of Vermont farms, food producers and processors, foresters, forest products businesses and others in the start-up and early stages of operations. Loan applications are now being accepted. SPROUT received start-up support from the State of Vermont’s Working Lands Enterprise Initiative in 2016. Earlier this year, a second round of subsidies from WLEI helped to make another round of SPROUT financing possible. SPROUT offers low-interest loans of up to $60,000 with 1 percent interest-only payments in the first

two years, and a 2 percent fixed rate thereafter. The Loan Fund’s Business Resource Center also coordinates assistance with business development and financial planning tailored to meet borrowers’ unique needs, freeof-charge. “SPROUT provides a powerful tool for emerging working lands businesses who have exciting growth opportunities,” said VCLF Executive Director Will Belongia. “SPROUT’s rates and terms give these working lands businesses the runway of time and resources they need to grow and succeed.” Said VCLF Director of Business Programs Raymond Lanza-Weil. “SPROUT helps us extend financing and free business development services to entrepreneurs who otherwise wouldn’t qualify for a VCLF loan.” To apply for or learn more about

Nov. 13 talk to focus on addiction MIDDLEBURY — Ilsley Library in Middlebury on Tuesday, Nov. 13, will host a talk called “The Opioid Epidemic in Vermont: Combatting Addiction in Addison County.” Dr. Emily Glick of Bristol Internal Medicine will address the history and medical basis of medication-assisted treatment, a strategy her practice uses to combat addiction with chemistry and coun-

The presentation, which will begin at 7 p.m. at the Main Street library, is sponsored by the Middlebury branch of the American Association of University Women.

Composer Nico Muhly unveils his second new opera for the Met with this gripping reimagining of Winston Graham’s 1961 novel, set in the 1950s, about a beautiful, mysterious young woman who assumes multiple identities.

When Isaac returns from the war to care for his sick father he finds a household in revolt.

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

The president of Middlebury Union High School’s student council, Kate Wallace, is MUHS’s Student of the Week. Kate lives in Cornwall with her parents, John and Margaret, and her younger brother, Jack, an eighth-grader at MUMS. Kate describes her four years at MUHS as having been a positive learning experience, one where she has made many friends and enjoyed her academic coursework. As a ninth-grader, Kate joined the student government as a class representative. She has thoroughly enjoyed her participation in the organization while working with students from each grade planning and organizing school-wide activities. Kate’s personal favorites include spirit week, pep rallies, and the winter carnival. She spent a productive week learning about current issues and youth activism while attending the Vermont Governor’s Institute. She participated in Rotary’s weekend-long RYLA program, with high school students from across Vermont, focusing on leadership skills. Kate attended Girls State, a program where she learned about state government and toured the state capitol in Montpelier. In her younger years, Kate learned to play the clarinet. She Kate Wallace became intrigued by the sound of the oboe and switched instruments. MUHS She learned to play, and is a member of the high school band and is first chair oboe in the District Band. Kate captains the varsity crosscountry team. She started running while in 7th grade and enjoys it immensely. She also participates on the Nordic ski team and loves the beautiful trails at Rikert. In the spring, Kate contributes to the Tiger track team in the 1500 meter and 3000 meter events. Kate says that participating with her fellow Tigers has given her a strong sense of comradery and fulfillment. Academically, Kate notes that Mr. Krahn’s Advanced Placement English and Ms. Arenson’s Advanced Placement U.S. History were two of her favorite classes. Kate has completed Introduction to International Relations and Medieval Art History at UVM, through the Dual Enrollment Program. She loved both classes and felt the opportunity gave her an excellent introduction to college-level coursework. Looking ahead to college, Kate seeks a small, four-year liberal arts institution where she can focus on her interest in the humanities. Kate’s contributions to MUHS have left a lasting impression on our school, and she has set a positive course for the future. Everyone at the high school wishes her well.

Vergennes Union High School

Vergennes Union High School is pleased to recognize Raven Duke as its Student of the Week. Raven lives in Ferrisburgh with her mom, Shannon Newman. Raven has several siblings: John (VUHS Class of 2016), Rachel (VUHS Class of 2015) and Silas (VUHS Class of 2014). Raven achieved honor roll every year of school, and she earned two underclassmen awards. She received the Challenge Herself in Art Essentials Award in 9th grade, and the Challenging Herself on Student Council Award in 10 grade. Recently, Raven was nominated for the National Art Honors Society, and will hopefully be inducted into it in May. Raven is an active member in our VUHS community. She has been an integral part of Student Council for the entirety of her high school career. She has been on the yearbook since she was in 10th grade and is currently the yearbook editor. Last year she participated in the German exchange and was class secretary. Raven is also part of the Math Team, German Club and the QSA. Raven is also part of the makeup crew for the Musical. Raven Duke Raven says this about her high school career: “Something VUHS that I’m still struggling with, but believe everyone should follow, is working proactively. When my teachers introduce big new assignments, I always think that I’ll start it that night, but I never do. I always somehow end up doing it the night before it’s due or a week after it’s due. But I think that if everyone worked proactively, they’d experience less stress. So try your hardest at being proactive.” Carlie Guinane, an art teacher at VUHS says this about Raven, “She is an absolute joy to be around. She is funny, engaging, passionate and talented. Raven throws herself into the yearbook every year and does work on it during the summer. She is instrumental in leading the underclassmen every year through the yearbook process. She takes art challenges head-on and works the problem until she has the solution she was hoping for.” Following graduation from VUHS Raven plans to attend college to study the arts, possibly pursuing a major in film or media design. The faculty, staff and students of VUHS wish Raven Duke 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!

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society Jaela. 10 months, Manchester Terrier mix, spayed female. Jaela is a young pup with lots of energy and potential! She is still very much a puppy and needs some basic manners training, however she is very smart and food motivated so training should be a breeze. Jaela has had several playgroup sessions at the shelter with other dogs and did wonderfully! She can get a bit mouthy when she is excited- a product of her young age- so until she is acing her manners she should be supervised with young children. Jaela is a beautiful young gal who will a wonderful companion! Gigi. 3 years, short hair black & white, spayed female. As a pregnant farm cat, Gigi had a rough start to life. She has since been cleaned up, spayed, and spent time in a loving foster home while her kittens grew. Gigi’s kittens have all been adopted, now it is her turn! She doesn’t care for other cats, so she will need to be an only cat in her new home. She loves to be spoilt with treats and tolerates being brushed. It’s still a new thing for her to be getting all this attention, but she deserves the TLC as she starts her new life! Olive. 1.5 years, short hair calico, spayed female. Olive is a smart and curious cat that finds fun no matter where she goes! Everything is a potential toy that needs to be chased or batted around the room. According to her former owner, she knows how to fetch. She arrived at the shelter with her sister Gracie. She is happily coexisting with other cats in the community and she has lived with dogs.

Pebbles & Bam Bam. Age unknown, New Zealand Whites, male & female. Pebbles and Bam Bam are two amazing bunnies that were rescued by a neighbor when their owners dumped them in the back yard when they moved. Both rabbits are affectionate with each other and with people and enjoy snuggles and kisses. Looking for a snuggly buddy while watching TV or reading? Either of these to buns will be happy to sit on your lap and keep you warm! And if you aren’t watching TV you can watch these two- they love to play, run around with toys in their mouth, and throw them around! They will keep you entertained for hours. All rabbits adopted from Homeward Bound are indoor pets that aren’t suited for life in an outside hutch. Maple & Louie. 3 & 4 years, English Mop mixes, neutered males. Maple and Louie are a pair of bonded male rabbits who are looking for a home together. Both are sweet, enjoy human company, and are potty trained! Louie loves to be held and while Maple doesn’t enjoy being picked up he will settle in for snuggles once he feels secure. Maple is blind and relies on his brother Louie for safety and security, so this duo must be adopted into a home together. All rabbits adopted from Homeward Bound are indoor pets that aren’t suited for life in an outside hutch. Zuzu. 1 year, American rabbit, neutered male. Zuzu is a very curious guy who loves time exploring outside his cage. Being goofy is his specialty, especially around feeding time! He enjoys toys he can carry around and throw. While he hasn’t learned to love being a lap pet yet, he adores being around people and other animals. Fresh greens with veggies twice a day will make him your friend in no time (especially red peppers and carrots!).

Dear Homeward Bound,

It is starting to get colder out and I want to make my dog’s doghouse as cozy as possible. What can I do to make it a nice place for him when he wants to be outside? Curious

Dear Curious,

Thanks for being concerned about keeping your dog warm and cozy ... it’s only going to get colder. There are several things you can do to make the doghouse a dry, warm space but most importantly, think about whether your dog is equipped to withstand cold. If he is a healthy, thick-coated dog in good body condition then he probably will enjoy time outdoors during the winter. But if he (or she) is older,

Dog Obedience & Agility

Hand-in-Paw Training & Boarding Kennel Route 74, Cornwall • 462-2992

suffering from any kind of illness or condition, has a hard time keeping weight on, or has a thin coat like a Boxer or a Greyhound, then a spot by the woodstove is probably a much better place for him to be. Outdoor doghouses should be off the ground on posts or blocks to keep cold and moisture from seeping in. They should have an opening that is covered by a flap (think doggy door material) so that when they go in, they shut the wind

out. They should be insulated inside and a nice way to do that is with straw. Straw is hollow inside so it traps air and keeps the space warmer than hay or blankets, which can get matted down. Make sure to check them throughout the winter to make sure the outside stays in good shape and replace the bedding frequently. I hope you and your dog enjoy lots of quality outdoor time together this winter. Homeward Bound

Southern pine beetles march north By JOE RANKIN As if the emerald ash borer’s incursion into northern New England wasn’t enough, now there’s another potentially devastating forest pest marching this way: the southern pine beetle. Dendroctonus frontalis – the first name means “tree murderer,” we should note — is only a fraction of an inch long. But during outbreaks, they reproduce by the millions and can kill trees in a matter of weeks. “They’re one of the most aggressive treekilling insects in the world,” said Matthew Ayres, a biology professor at Dartmouth College who has studied the species for 25 years. A relative of the mountain pine beetle, which periodically ravages the lodgepole- and ponderosa-pine forests of the intermountain West, the southern pine beetle is native to the vast pine forests in the southeastern U.S. But now, thanks to a warming climate, the beetle is moving north. It’s established itself in New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and probably Massachusetts, according to Ayres. In New York, it’s on Long Island and has been trapped near Albany. “There’s no doubt that northern forests in New Hampshire and Vermont are going to be challenged in the next few years — sooner rather than later — by southern pine beetles,” said Ayres. Writing in the journal “Nature Climate Change” earlier this year, a team of researchers predicted “a plausible new threat” from the beetle “to vast areas of pine forest in eastern

The

North America by 2050 and into subarctic Canada after 2080 under continued climate change.” “It is a very big deal” for the northeastern U.S.,” said Kevin Dodds, a forest entomologist with the U.S. Forest Service and one of the authors of the article. “It’s definitely a considerable forest pest.” Cold winters have traditionally limited the southern pine beetle’s range. One night at zero degrees Fahrenheit and most beetles are killed, said Ayres. At five degrees below zero, they’re pretty much all dead. The problem: “In the last 50 years [in our region], the coldest night of winter has warmed by 7 to 8 degrees,” said Ayres. In the next 50 years, it could rise another 10 degrees. Adult female beetles are the ones who seek out new host trees. When they find a vulnerable pine, they burrow into the bark and release pheromones that alert other beetles, which swarm to the tree. Scientists call this a “mass attack.” The tree tries to fight back with resin, but the sheer number of invaders overwhelms its defenses. Beetles carve tunnels into the inner bark and lay eggs. After hatching, the larvae tunnel out and fly off to another tree. They can fly up to two miles and can produce multiple generations in a year. During periodic outbreaks, the beetle’s numbers swell. They spread rapidly and kill pines in vast numbers. They then typically crash.

species of pine with which they come into contact, and that’s more than a dozen,” said Ayres. It favors the “hard” pines like loblolly pine and shortleaf pine. It will kill pitch pines, and the pitch-pine barrens along the Atlantic coast from New Jersey to Maine are very vulnerable. It’s likely to go after jack pine and red pine, too. The big unanswered question is how it will treat white pines. Ayres said the beetle has killed white pines in Alabama, Kentucky, and New Jersey. “We know they’re susceptible. What we don’t know well is how well the beetles reproduce in white pines.” Kyle Lombard, the forest health program coordinator for the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands, said his office is monitoring the bug’s progress. But “We are not overly concerned it will be a real threat to our New Hampshire forests. We just don’t have a lot of the preferred host, and the winter temps in New England would severely knock it back or completely control it.” In their mass attacks, southern pine beetles tend to favor forests where the trees grow close together. In New England, white pine doesn’t usually grow in pure stands, but as single trees throughout the woods. That may discourage the beetle. Unlike with emerald ash borer, where there’s virtually nothing humans can do but wring their hands, the thinning of uninfected pine stands can help control the southern pine beetle. “The best management strategy to discourage southern pine beetle outbreaks is to maintain healthy pine stands, and that is another advantage New Hampshire has — we are not averse to managing forests,” said

Middlebury College field hockey is headed back to the NCAA Final Four

By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College field hockey team is going back to the NCAA Division III final four this weekend, where the Panthers will try to win their second straight national title and third in the past four years. The 19-1 Panthers on Sunday won an NCAA Regional final on their home turf, 5-1 over The College of New Jersey (16-5), to earn what is the program’s fourth final four berth in the past five years. No. 2 Middlebury will play undefeated and third-ranked Rowan on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. at Spooky Nook Sports in Manheim, Pennsylvania. No. 4 Tufts (18-2, with both losses to the Panthers in NESCAC play) and No. 9 Johns Hopkins (19-2) will meet at 11 a.m. on Saturday in the other semifinal, and the winners will square off on Sunday at noon. Johns Hopkins surprised No. 1 Messiah on Sunday. TCNJ had upset Vassar on Saturday on Middlebury’s Kohn Field, but on Sunday the Panthers struck three times in the opening 10 minutes to

take charge. Emma Johns made it 1-0 2:27 into the contest on a penalty corner. Marissa Baker fed Emma Johns on the left wing with a short pass, and Johns fired a shot past

TCNJ keeper Maddie Beaumont. Just over five minutes later Erin Nicholas weaved through the Lion defense and flipped a shot into the cage for her team-leading 15th goal

of the season. Middlebury made it 3-0 at 26:39 when Grace Jennings burst through the defense on another solo run; that was her 14th score of the fall. TCNJ’s Jackie Schwartz made a strong defensive save on Jennings with 13:39 left in the half to keep the difference at three, and Lion Tori Hannah laced a shot off the right post in the half’s final minute on a penalty corner. In the second half Meg Fearey made it 4-0 by tapping in a pass from Baker. Baker made it 5-0 at 18:26 by blasting a shot from the top of the arc on a penalty corner. Isabel Chandler, who inserted the ball, and Jennings who set up the shot, both earned assists. The Lions got on the board with 9:53 to play on Sidney Padilla’s hard shot from the top of the arc. Middlebury goalie Megan Collins posted a pair of saves, while Beaumont stopped eight shots for the Lions. The Panthers controlled play and earned advantages of 20-5 in shots and 11-3 in penalty corners. The win was their 22nd straight at home.

Panther women’s teams win firstround contests

MIDDLEBURY – Both the Middlebury College field hockey and women’s soccer teams won their first-round NCAA Division III Regional games at home on Saturday by convincing final margins, although the women’s soccer team waited until late in the second half to pull away. The second-ranked Panther field hockey team coasted past overmatched Keene State, 8-0, to advance to Sunday’s final vs. The College of New Jersey (see story). TCNJ (16-4) upset Vassar (18-2), officially by 2-1 after prevailing on a tie-breaking shootout after overtime did not produce a winner. Vassar had a 21-5 advantage in shots on goal in regulation and overtime, but TCNJ won the shootout, 5-4. The Panther women’s soccer team bested the University of Maine-Farmington, 4-1, but needed three goals in the final 17 minutes to snap a 1-1 tie after the 8-13 Beavers scored on their only shot on goal to knot the score at 1-1. On Sunday, Middlebury took on Ithaca (14-2-3) a 1-0 winner over Rochester (9-8-1) on Saturday — see story. FIELD HOCKEY SEMI On Saturday Middlebury (18-1) outshot Keene State, 31-2, in its field hockey victory. The Panthers opened the scoring 6:58 into the contest, when Erin Nicholas carried the ball into the circle from the right side and swept the ball past Keene goalie Rachel Loseby (11 saves). Middlebury made it 2-0 at 21:26, when Grace Jennings placed her stick flat on the turf to redirect home a pass from Nicholas. Goals by Johns and Nicholas made it 4-0 at the half, and early in the second Alison Denby redirected a Nicholas shot to make it 5-0. Keene had its best chance to get onto the scoreboard minutes later on a penalty corner, but Panther goalie Megan Collins kicked aside Erica Stauffer’s shot from the right side for her only save. Closing out the scoring were Jennings, unassisted; Julia Richards, by redirecting a Kelly Coyle shot, and Amanda Bozorgi, by flipping a shot home on a late penalty corner. Keene (See Semis, Page 22)

Semis (Continued from Page 21) finished at 13-7. WOMEN’S SOCCER The third-ranked Panther women’s soccer team (16-1-2) outshot overmatched Maine-Farmington, 51-2, but needed the late surge to put the game away in part because UMF goalie Callie Hammer made 20 saves, and her defense worked hard to break up a few dangerous chances. After launching 18 unsuccessful and unanswered shots, Middlebury broke through with 12:03 left in the first half. Simone Ameer passed the ball from the right corner to Sabrina Glaser in the box. Glaser backheeled it to the charging Abigail Blyler, who drilled it home from close range. UMF tied the match at 39:29 of the second half. McKenna Brodeur received a pass in the offensive end, made a move to get it to her right foot, and blasted a shot from 20 yards away into the upper-left corner. The tally was Brodeur’s 22nd of the season. UMF’s only other shot was blocked at the top of the box. The Panthers regained the lead at 63:54 on a restart just outside the penalty box. Eliza Robinson’s free kick hit the crossbar and came down to Olivia Miller, who headed the ball from close. Middlebury continued to dominate and scored about 14 minutes later on another restart just outside the box. Robinson sent a low through ball to a Eliza Van Voorhis, who tipped the ball into the right corner for her team-leading eighth goal. The Panthers recorded their final goal at 86:04, when Robinson lofted a free kick into the upper-left corner from 25 yards out.

Panther women’s soccer advances in NCAAs on penalty kicks versus Ithaca

By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — Call Middlebury College junior goalie Eva Shaw the closer. On Sunday for the second time in eight days Shaw entered a Panther women’s soccer postseason game only after 90 minutes of regulation time and two 10-minute overtimes failed to produce a winner. That means her job is to come in cold and stop penalty kicks. The occasion on Sunday was an NCAA Regional Final on Middlebury’s South Field turf vs. Ithaca, and the score was 0-0 after 110 minutes. Eight days earlier in a NESCAC semifinal Shaw stopped four out of seven penalty kicks, including two straight with the Panthers trailing by 2-0 after the first three rounds of kickers. Her performance allowed the Panthers to reach the NESCAC final the next day, which they won. On this Sunday Shaw, who sat while classmate Ursula Alwang played all the rest of both games, swatted away three straight Ithaca attempts while teammates Sara DiCenso, Ellie Greenberg and Cate Shellenback each converted. Her final full-out dive to her right to get her fingertips on the ball and frustrate the last Ithaca shooter triggered another wild celebration. That save pushed the No. 3 Panthers to 17-1-2 and sent them to an NCAA Sectional this weekend they stand a good chance of hosting. A longtime competitive downhill

skier who attended Green Mountain Valley School, Shaw afterward explained what she tells herself as opponents place the ball on the penalty stripe. “One save at a time. Take a deep breath and then just focus on what you can control, which is stopping the ball,” Shaw said. Shaw wouldn’t give away any secrets on how she can tell whether shooters will aim left or right, other than she has some. “Ask me in December, I would say,” she said. “Or in February of 2021, when I graduate. But there are things you look for, clues in body language.” Another secret might be confidence — a Panther assistant mentioned Shaw does not lack for it. “It’s definitely a high-pressure situation. I was a ski racer before this, so I’m used to those 60 seconds of pressure. It’s about the mental capacity I have. I enjoy the job,” Shaw said. “It’s amazing when Ursula and I can combine to get the win together. It’s not too many teams that have goaltenders who are huge contributors. We like to call ourselves the best goalkeeping team in NESCAC.” Next up for the Panthers in the Sectional is No. 12 Swarthmore (172-2). Other games in the bracket had not been determined as of press time, but Hardin-Simmons (17-1-1) and Johns Hopkins (18-2) were favored to advance. The Panthers are the high-

est-ranked of the teams remaining and could be awarded the Sectional, but the NCAA could take into account travel considerations, according to Middlebury sources. An announcement was due late on Sunday or early Monday, and this article will be updated online. If the Panthers are to continue to advance and possibly reach a final four for a second time (2013 was the first) or win their first NCAA title, more good defense like they played

this weekend will be critical. Middlebury allowed Ithaca (143-3) only six shots at goal, five of which reached Alwang and which she handled easily. The work of the Panther wing backs — notably sophomore Rose Evans and senior captain Janie DeVito, who Coach Peter Kim agreed was the team’s regulation-time player of the game — in shutting down Ithaca leading scorer Alex Epifani was crucial.

Soccer (Continued from Page 22) DeVito said all the Panthers, including the forwards and midfielders, worked hard all over the field to keep the Bombers under pressure. “We knew this was going to be a team effort, and everyone had a role today,” she said. “We knew this was going to be a battle, and we had to be sure we were relentless on the field.”

But Shaw, Kim and DeVito all agreed the Panthers have to start finding the net. Even in Saturday’s first-round win they only scored four goals on 51 shots, and three came in the final 17 minutes. DeVito said the Panthers will be confident moving forward, but will also work on honing their game. “I think we’re pretty confident.

We had some amazing opportunities today, and we were building well out of the back. We just couldn’t finish in that final third. So the momentum is definitely in our favor,” “We definitely have some big competition coming up, but we’re ready for it.” The Panthers launched 23 shots, nine of which Ithaca goalie Stacey DiGiorgio stopped, and only a few

of which she had to move for. Eliza Van Voorhis, Eliza Robinson, Greenberg, Sabrina Glaser, Olivia Miller and Amanda Dafonte all had good looks, and on other occasions Ithaca defenders shielded them from balls sent in to allow DiGiorgio to come out and either dive on them or pick them off in the air. Kim said the Panthers just have to find a way to recover the form that has led them to average 2.35 goals per game. “We’ve got to score goals, simple as can be. We create chances. We have great build-up. We defend well. It’s just a matter of getting up on the board,” Kim said. “It’s a combination of intensity to get to balls in the box, and composure to place it home when we’re facing their goalie. We had a bunch of chances when we

were one-v-one with the goalie when a cooler head would have gotten us a goal.” On the plus side DeVito noted the Panthers’ depth as a positive moving forward. On Saturday Kim once again went deep into his bench, subbing in seven players for lengthy minutes, and his season 15 Panthers have scored at least one goal. “During my four years here the program has always been a great program, and I’ve been very lucky to be a part of it,” DeVito said. “This year it’s the largest team I’ve been a part of, and I think that has really helped us. We have a very deep team. So I think that’s definitely been helping us throughout the season.” Andy Kirkaldy may be reached at andyk@addisonindependent.com.

Demonstrators turn out to support Mueller MIDDLEBURY — The night after civil rights activist DeRay McKesson spoke at Middlebury College, his ideas were very much on people’s minds as nearly 200 gathered downtown to protest President Trump’s firing of U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The firing and appointment of administration loyalist Matthew Whitaker was widely seen as a move endangering a Justice Department investigation by independent counsel Robert Mueller into the Trump administration’s connection to Russian interference with the 2016 presidential election. The protest Thursday evening was one of more than 900 nationwide. “I attended the presentation by DeRay McKesson and was inspired by his courage and his dedication to creating a better society based

on fairness and equity,” Fran Putnam, a protest organizer, told the Independent. “He gave up his job and his home, spent time in jail, and put his own body on the line for a cause he believes in — ending police brutality and mass incarceration. The least we can do here in Addison County is show up at a rally to stand up for the rule of law and the protection of the Mueller investigation.” At the rally, activist Joanna Colwell spoke of McKesson’s lessons about inclusion. “He talked about on-ramps, the idea of inviting people into the movement,” she told a crowd that gathered on the Middlebury town green before marching down Main Street to the Cross Street Bridge. “Let’s figure out how we can build our movement by bringing more and

Until 2001 the Oklahoma threshold was only $50. (Unlike most states, which disenfranchise felons, Vermont allows them to vote, even from prison.) We are conditioned to think about felons as having committed murder or blown up a building or robbed a bank, McKesson explained. “But imagine stealing a bike at the age of 18 and being labeled a felon for the rest of your life.” McKesson, a Black Lives Matter advocate and author of the memoir “On the Other Side of Freedom: The Case for Hope,” appeared as part of the Vermont Humanities Council’s First Wednesday series. Wearing his trademark blue vest, McKesson started his talk with reference to the big news of the day: President Trump had fired U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions

When activists build spaces for conversation, they should honor the different ways that people tell stories, and they should validate others’ lived experiences. “Much of what we do sometimes is, when we are morally right, we become self-righteous about the way that we enter, and we’re like, ‘If people don’t enter this way then they don’t care, they don’t believe, they’re not ready.’” No, McKesson said. On the contrary, the work of organizers should be to help people find their way in. Much of this might sound like “preaching to the choir,” but McKesson suggested that this is a good thing. “I’m not reaching out to convince the other side — I’m trying to build a bigger choir,” he said. “People are just waiting for an invitation to be a part of something larger than themselves.” But which choir? One question McKesson fielded

from the audience reflected both deep and ambivalent engagement. Niyafa Boucher, a first-year Middlebury College student from Brooklyn, spoke of the dissonance she experienced around the idea of “community.” “My parents sort of taught me to be disengaged from our community at home,” she told McKesson. “It’s always about getting out of your community.” Boucher described an encounter back home, when she and some of her friends — all of whom attended privileged (and majority-white) high schools and colleges — measured the age of a local pizza shop in terms of their own lifetimes. Overhearing their discussion, a longtime resident told them the restaurant had, in fact, been around since his childhood. “And we sort of all looked at each other,” Boucher said. “We couldn’t fathom this idea of being in one place — especially this place that we were sort of taught to get out of — for our entire life.” (See McKesson, Page 36)

Storyteller to discuss craft in New Haven

NEW HAVEN — Author Megan Price’s series “Vermont Wild, Adventures of Fish & Game Wardens” has been a hit with readers of all ages since its launch nearly a decade ago. Price has been called a “folklore artist” for her ability to bring these North Country stories to life. Whether working to corral an angry moose, training reluctant dogs, or outsmarting wily poachers, the retired Vermont game wardens profiled in Price’s books tell hilarious, family friendly stories that keep readers on the edge of their seats. Price will speak at the New Haven Community Library this Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. The program will be held in the town library building at 78 North St.; the building is accessible and the talk is free. All are welcome. For more information contact library Director Deborah Lundbech at 453-4015.

Hunters need to be on the watch for ticks

MONTPELIER, Vt. — As Vermonters head out deer hunting this fall, the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department reminds hunters to be ‘tick smart’ to prevent Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. When wading through high grass and brush or sitting still along the

edges of fields and forests, hunters can easily pick up a tick. According to officials from the Department of Health, November is one of the high-points in the year for reports of tick

bites and annual cases of Lyme disease continue to rise in Vermont. Hunters can help reduce their risk of tick bites by following these tips from the Vermont Department of Health:

• Protect: Before you go outside, apply an EPA-registered insect repellent on your skin and treat your clothes with permethrin. When possible, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and tuck your pants into your socks to keep ticks from your skin.

• Check: Do daily tick checks on yourself, your children and pets. • Remove: Remove ticks right away. Showering within two hours of coming indoors has also been proven effective in washing ticks off the skin before they attach. Put clothing into the dryer on hot heat for 10 minutes to kill remaining ticks. • Watch: If you were bitten by a tick, watch for signs of disease during the weeks following the bite. Call your health care provider if you experience symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, fatigue, or joint pain. For more tips on staying tick safe outdoors, go to tinyurl.com/ VTfw-ticks.

It’s against the law to discriminate when advertising housing. Particularly on sites like Craigslist. And it’s easier to break the law than you might think. You can’t say “no children” or “adults only.” There is lots you can’t say. The federal government is watching for such discrimination. Let us help you sift through the complexities of the Fair Housing Law. Stay legal. Stay on the right side of the nation’s Fair Housing Law. Call the Addison Independent at (802) 388-4944.

HOPE

Bond

(Continued from Page 1) used by HOPE is four feet wide by four feet long by four feet tall. This year’s inventory stands at two gaylords, meaning HOPE must spend more of its limited resources and make more vocal appeals for help to ensure each Addison County child will have at least one gift to open on Christmas. Each year, the Holiday Shop at 282 Boardman St. on Middlebury welcomes hundreds of qualifying families to select a clothing outfit, two books, a toy or game, and an “activity” treat — such as crayons — for each of their children. All of it is free, thanks to the generosity of donors who give money, unwrapped gifts, crafts and clothing to the effort. Kate Selby in August started her job as HOPE Holiday Shop coordinator. She explained this year’s toy shortage is in large part due to tremendous use of the shop last holiday season. The shop last year served around 600 children from a combined total of 300 families. That was up from 546 children in 2016, Selby noted. HOPE officials said last year’s KATE SELBY, COORDINATOR of the Helping Overcome Poverty’s pressure on the Holiday Shop was a Effects (HOPE) Holiday Shop, displays one of the Christmas tree tags reflection of overall heavy use of the outlining gift options for local low-income children.

Combating breast cancer grants offered to Vermont organizations VERMONT — Komen New England has announced it will offer Community Grants to organizations in Vermont that are working to meet the most critical breast health needs throughout the service area. The organization’s funding priorities for the 2019-2020 grant cycle are: patient navigation, reducing barriers to care, and education that leads to action. “Our community grants program will help us reach the bold goal announced by Susan G. Komen to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. by 50 percent by 2026,” said Lori van Dam, Komen New England CEO. “Up to one-third of women who are currently dying could be saved without any new medical breakthroughs. The programs we fund will help overcome

barriers to screening and treatment, so all our neighbors have the same opportunities to access the care they need.”

A letter of intent is required before completing an application and is due Nov. 15. The deadline for applications is Thursday, Nov. 29, at

How, she wanted to know, can she take the things she’s learned “here” and be an effective person at home? While Boucher spoke, a number of heads in the audience nodded with what seemed like agreement or recognition. “What you’re talking about is actually one of the corollary effects of the way that the dominant culture works,” McKesson told her sympathetically.
