Of bull trout and the ethics of fishing, filming Vermonters may have seen a story circulating the Internet. It involves Montana Wild, a media company specializing in fly-fishing and hunting films. Many Addison County residents are familiar with their work; it has been featured in the Fly Fishing Film Tour, which has packed the Town Hall Theater every April for the past several years. On Feb. 18, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks released a statement that three individuals in Montana Wild had been fined a total of nearly $6,000 for violations of 38 state and 11 federal laws pertaining to fishing and filming during their 2013 filming of a feature on bull trout. This is a story I might not have paid attention to two years ago. But at the end of 2014 I joined the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA). Although the “W” stands for “Writers,” the OWAA also includes photographers and filmmakers. Their bimonthly magazine, website and electronic newsletters keep members informed about important legislation including laws about filming on public lands. This became more relevant to me when my first book related to fly-fishing was published and I began work on a series of four more with a plan to expand content beyond printed words to other forms of web-based media including videos. There were issues I had never thought of. For example, commercial filming is illegal in a congressionally designated wilderness area and on National Forest Service land can only be done by permit. As an angler, wilderness lover and outdoor writer, I have mixed feelings about these laws. On the one hand I can see the point. Any commercial activity is potentially exploitive — using a person or place or resource for personal monetary gain.

Women’s hockey earns No. 1 seed To host Colby after sweep of Williams MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College women’s hockey team, ranked No. 7 in NCAA Division III, swept a weekend home-and-home series from Williams to earn the top seed for the NESCAC women’s hockey tournament for the sixth straight and 11th time overall. The Panthers (17-4-3, 13-0-3 NESCAC) picked up their 11th and 12th wins in 13 outings and will host No.
8 Colby (6-15-3, 3-12-1 NESCAC) on Saturday in a 2 p.m. quarterfinal matchup. Barring an upset, they will host the league’s final four the following weekend. The Panthers recently picked up a pair of one-goal wins at Colby. Saturday’s 7-0 win over Williams (12-11-1, 8-8-0 NESCAC) extended Middlebury’s conference regularseason unbeaten streak to 29 games (24-0-5) and was the Panthers’ fourth shutout in five outings. The Panthers erupted for four goals in the first period, with the first
three coming in a span of 1:44. Audrey Quirk netted her first collegiate goal at the 7:48 mark with a wrist shot from the left point after taking a pass from Julia Wardwell. Rachael St. Clair doubled the lead at the 9:11 mark on a wrap-around, and 21 seconds later Haley LaFontaine’s shot from just inside the blue line eluded Williams goalie Julia Mini (22 saves). The final goal of the period came from Kelly Sherman on a power play. LaFontaine worked the puck down low to Sherman. Sherman shot

on goal from along the goal line that trickled in off Mini. The Panthers held a 13-3 edge in shots in the period and didn’t allow the Ephs a shot on goal for the opening 10 minutes. Middlebury made it 5-0 3:56 into the middle period, scoring again on the power play. Wardwell skated into the slot and converted after Maddie Winslow fed her the puck at the point. Williams had two shots on a power play later in the period, but Middlebury goalie Julia Neuburger (eight (See Hockey, Page 2B)
ADDISON COUNTY — The local high school girls’ basketball season came to an end on Tuesday, when all four area teams came up short in first-round playoff games: Mount Abraham was upset at home, while Middlebury, Otter Valley and Vergennes lost on the road. EAGLES Mount Abe had earned the No. 7 seed in Division II, but visiting No. 10 Lamoille got the winning hoop from Jasmin Daigle-Arnold with 11 seconds left to prevail, 42-41. Lamoille improved to 11-10. Emma Carter led the Eagles with 14 points and seven rebounds. Mount Abe finished at 9-12 after a 1-7 start. TIGERS In D-I, host No. 8 Mount Anthony coasted past No. 9 MUHS, 73-37. The Patriots, who played a challenging schedule including games against the top Metro Conference teams, improved to 11-10. Keagan Dunbar scored 22 points for the Tigers, who finished at 11-10, the program’s first winning record since 2010. SLATERS OVER OV In the third meeting of the winter between the two D-II programs, host No. 4 Fair Haven outlasted No. 13 Otter Valley, 39-33. The Otters trailed by one at the half, and then the Slaters pushed the margin to six in the third period and held on. Lexi Quenneville paced the Slaters with 15, and Adriana Dalto chipped in 10. Fair Haven (16-5) will host No. 5 Lake Region, also 16-5, next. Amy Jones (14 points) and Gabby Poalino (eight) led the Otters, who finished 8-13 against a challenging schedule. COMMODORES Lake Region ran up a 35-12 halftime lead on the way to ousting the No. 12 Commodores, 64-25. VUHS, which was shorthanded due to injury, was led by Nikki Salley’s game-high 12 points. The Commodores finished at 7-14.

Panther men skate to win, tie MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College men’s hockey team this past weekend earned a win and a tie in their final home games of the regular season to clinch a winning NESCAC record (6-5-7) and earn the No. 5 seed for the league tournament, which begins this Saturday. The Panthers, 7-10-7 overall, will visit No. 4 Hamilton (13-7-4, 8-6-4 league) for a 4 p.m. game, with the winner advancing to the NESCAC final four the following weekend at a site to be determined. On Sunday, the Panthers picked up a 3-1 win over visiting Amherst (9-11-4, 7-8-3). Middlebury took a 1-0 lead 15:28 into the game on Zach Haggerty’s team-leading eighth goal. Max Greenwald set up the goal with a pass from the left side through the slot to Haggerty, who redirected it home.
In the second period the Panthers scored twice in a span of a minute. Ronald Fishman netted the first goal from a tough angle down low, earning his fifth of the season. At 4:41, Jake Charles made it 3-0,
snapping home a wrister from the right side for his sixth of the year after taking a feed from Spencer Cage. The Purple & White capitalized (See Panthers, Page 3B)

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

some form of physical impairment which otherwise would prohibit the individual from competing in standup hockey. Since its creation in the early 1960s by Swedish war veterans who wished to continue playing competitive ice hockey, sled hockey has grown into an international phenomenon. The United States first competed in the Winter Paralympics in 1998, and has since medaled four times, including three gold performances. While nearly a dozen countries sponsor a respective national team, the growth of sled hockey relies heavily on the successes and publicity of local programs. The Pioneers, Sled Cats, and Ice Vets provide Vermonters and neighboring states with sled hockey opportunities. The Sled Cats, founded in 2005, have the longest running program and are a member of the Northeast Sled Hockey League (NESHL). They won last year’s NESHL “B” Division championship, while the Pioneers and Ice Vets both follow independent schedules. The Sled Cats enter this weekend’s games with a 9-4 overall record, while both the Pioneers and the Ice Vets sit at 1-0. The game schedule for Saturday, Feb. 27, is: Game 1, noon, Sled Cats vs. Ice Vets; Game 2, 1:25 p.m., Sled Cats vs. Pioneers; Game 3, 2:50 p.m., Pioneers vs. Ice Vets. On Sunday, Feb. 28, the semifinal is at noon, with the championship at 1:25 p.m. A modest admission fee will benefit MAHA and local homeless organizations.

Women’s track third in N.E. D-III MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College athletes set two school records and won five events as they hosted the Division III New England Women’s indoor track and field championship inside the Virtue Field House on this past Friday and Saturday. With 31 teams scoring, the Panther women racked up 82 team points to finish behind MIT (123.50) and Williams (93.83). All-New England Division III honors were awarded to the top-eight placers in each event.
School record performances came from Abigail Nadler and Maddie Pronovost. Nadler set the record of 10:08.38 while finishing second in the 3,000-meter run, while Pronovost amassed 2,974 points during Friday’s pentathlon while taking sixth. Alexandra Morris won the 400-meter dash (57.23), while Adrian Walsh claimed the 5,000-meter run by more than three seconds with a time of 17:35.15. The Panther women raced to three relay wins. The 4x400-meter team
of Jackie Kearney, Paige Fernandez, Lucy Lang and Morris crossed the line in 3:58.65, winning by nearly four seconds. The 4x800 relay of Claire Gomba, Isabella Alfaro, Robin Vincent and Lauren Bougioukas prevailed in 9:33.66, while the distance medley relay quartet of Alexis Jakubowski, Kate McCluskey, Nicole Schachman and Nadler won in 12:11.91. Additional top-three efforts came from Lang in the 600-meter run (third, 1:36.72) and Bougioukas in the 800-meter run (third, 2:16.98).
This evidence was enough to get a search warrant, with which authorities seized computers and hard drives containing large quantities of video. That provided conclusive evidence not only that Montana Wild had filmed illegally and had targeted endangered bull trout where it was not permitted, but additionally (according to the press release) “some fish were handled for up to 12 minutes or longer after they were in the net. In one instance a bull trout was caught, netted, handled and released (with the hook still attached) only to be fished again for underwater filming, concluding with the fish being netted, handled and released again.” Montana Wild has settled with the courts and paid their fine. They also released a statement explaining their actions (www.montana-wild.com/astatement-from-montana-wild/). Regarding filming where it wasn’t permitted, they claimed to have been misinformed, to have asked a state official whether filming was allowed and to have been told it was. Apparently, they just didn’t ask the department that actually had the authority. I admit sympathy with the perpetrators. Until a year ago, I might not even have known the laws. I might well have taken a video of a fishing trip in National Forest Lands in Vermont and (if I were a better videographer and editor) decided to sell it. As for illegally targeting bull trout, it is also an easy mistake. Bull
trout fishing is allowed in the main stem of the South Fork of Flathead River. They also fished for bull trout in several tributaries, which though not allowed was not explicitly listed as prohibited. They also claimed to have a catch card. The charge wasn’t for not having one, but for “failing to immediately release bull trout; and failing to report a bull trout on the FWP Bull Trout Catch Card.” The final allegation of mishandling fish was both hardest to prove and hardest to defend. Montana Wild claimed not to have mishandled fish. Video evidence suggests they landed a bull trout, photographed it, released it still hooked and took more videos fighting the fish underwater. Montana Wild claimed never to have done this “intentionally.” (But they did seem happy to use lots of the underwater footage.) It is on this last count that I find the defense of the perpetrators most flimsy. Regardless of any legal prohibitions on the handling of bull trout, it is just unethical. Yet I can also understand the temptation of commercial filmmakers not to pass up the opportunity to get some additional footage. I have sat in the Town Hall Theater to watch the FFFT and been thrilled by similar footage in the past. Maybe knowing how great that temptation will always be is why the prohibition on commercial filming needs to be there in the first place.

Middlebury ski team set to host Panthers fourth at Williams; carnival to be championships WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Following this past weekend’s fourth-place finish at the Williams Carnival, the Middlebury College ski team will host the Eastern Collegiate Ski Association championships this weekend at the annual Middlebury Winter Carnival. Competition will be held at the Middlebury College Snow Bowl in Hancock and the Rikert Nordic Center in Ripton. At the Williams Carnival this past weekend, Panther highlights included a win from junior Colin Hayes in Saturday’s slalom and a victory by senior Annie Pokorny in the women’s Nordic 5-kilometer pursuit. Bristol resident Alia Johnson, a senior, also recorded a season-best 14th-place in Friday’s 10K freestyle. The University of Vermont won the carnival with 992 points, followed by Dartmouth (919), the University of New Hampshire (720) and the Panthers (638). Alpine races were contested at Jiminy Peak in Hancock, Mass., while the Nordic races were held at the Ski Jump Venue at Lake Placid, N.Y. On Friday, the Panthers were led by a second-place finish in the giant slalom by junior Rob Cone and a third-place effort on the Nordic side from Pokorny. Cone finishing the GS second in 1:31.57. Sophomore Riley Plant was next for Middlebury in 13th in 1:33.74. Hayes placed 18th with a time of 1:34.51. Freshman Caroline Bartlett continued to pace the alpine women with an 11th-place finish in the GS in 1:36.94. The only other Panther to finish the race was senior Elle Gilbert, who placed 21st in 1:39.08. The women’s Nordic team was short a racer as senior standout Kelsey Phinney will miss the next two carnivals to represent the U.S. at the U-23 World Championships in Romania. Pokorny covered the 10K freestyle course in 28:04 to take third, while Johnson finished with a time of 29:24 for 14th. Senior Kaitlin Fink rounded out the scorers in 17th in 29:30. Freshman Lewis Nottonson paced the men in the 10K freestyle in 13th in 25:04. Sophomore Jacob Volz took 27th in 26:03, while sophomore Evan Weinman rounded out the scorers in 33rd place (26:16).

Junior Christopher McKenna took 25th in 2:03.88. Pacing the alpine women in the slalom was Bartlett, who placed 12th in 2:01. Gilbert followed in 23rd place (2:04.35), while junior Katy Greene was 35th (2:10.20). Pokorny’s win in the 5K classic pursuit was her first victory of the
season in five attempts. She completed the event in 44:04, besting her nearest opponent by nine seconds. Johnson was next for Middlebury in 18th place in 46:47, her best effort of the season in the event. Sophomore Cate Brams took 22nd in 46:51. In the men’s 5K classic pursuit, Nottonson led the Panthers in 18th in 39:46. Next up for Middlebury was Volz, who finished 26th in 40:35. The final scorer for the Panthers was Weinman, who took 29th in 40:31.
VUHS cheer team fourth; qualify for N.E. VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union High School cheerleading team on Saturday finished fourth in Division I on its mat at VUHS, which hosted the state championship meet. Rutland scored 208 points to win the event, followed by Essex, 187; Poultney, 176; Vergennes, 171; BFA-Fairfax, 146.5; Milton, 146.5; Lyndon, 130.5; and Mount Abraham, 100. Mill River scored 174 points to prevail in D-II, followed by BFASt. Albans, 166.5; South Burlington, 158; Blue Mountain, 154.5; Mount Anthony, 146; Fair Haven, 128.5; Mount St. Joseph, 116.5; Enosburg, 108; Missisquoi, 94.5; and Otter Valley, 79. Divisions are determined by the number of competitors in the squad, per Vermont Principals’ Association rules. The good news for the Commodore cheer squad is that New England rules differ, and the team qualified to compete, along with Mill River, as Vermont representatives in the regional Division IV all-female championships.

(Continued from Page 1B) case it is an exploitation of a potentially fragile area. And it is not difficult to imagine the sort of damage that could be done, for example, by a large movie company making a film on wilderness land. The easiest form of protection is a blanket prohibition. On the other hand, it seems like I ought to be able to make respectful and non-harmful use of public lands, even if it results in profit for me, as long as I am not “consuming” or damaging the land, or preventing others from enjoying it. And to some degree I can; I can legally write stories and take photographs in designated wilderness lands and then sell them. But not video. Why the distinction? Is pointing a video camera at a river more exploiting than shooting with my DSLR? There is a significant difference between bringing tractor-trailers full of equipment into the wilderness to make a Hollywood film and having two or three individuals hiking with a pair of video cameras, perhaps practicing a “leave no trace” ethic. The former example does “consume” the resource in multiple ways. I am glad it is banned. Which is perhaps why the law for National Forest Land is more lenient. The permit process allows for case-by-case decisions. Which brings me back to the Montana Wild story. There were three primary violations behind the fines. They were commercially filming where they were not allowed to do so: in the Bob Marshall Wilderness area. They were fishing for endangered bull trout in waters closed to bull trout fishing and without a “catch card.” And they were alleged to have mishandled those fish. What got them caught was that they were doing this to create a video for the FFFT and showing teasers of the film on their website. This attracted the attention of the authorities. As the MFWP press release spells out, “Further review of the Montana Wild public website showed there was significant evidence of other non-permitted commercial filming activities on National Forest Lands.”
Panthers (Continued from Page 1B) on a power play at 16:01 of the period. Theo Hannah and Patrick Arena worked the puck at the top of the zone before Hannah scored with a shot from the point. Middlebury outshot Amherst 2722. Panther goalie Liam MoorfieldYee made 21 saves, and Amherst netminder Connor Girard stopped 24 shots. On Saturday, Middlebury went to overtime for the 10th time this season before settling for a school-record seventh tie in a 1-1 contest with Hamilton. Hamilton’s only goal came 8:51 into the first period on the power play. Brandon Willett tipped a shot from the left point by Conor Lamberti over Moorfield-Yee’s shoulder. Fishman tied the game two minutes later. After taking a pass from Travis Stephens, Fishman snapped home a wrister through traffic from the top of the right face-off circle. Neither team found the back of the net in the second period, though Hamilton’s Rory Gagnon saw his shot hit the right post 15:01 into the session. In the third period, at 4:30 Moorfield-Yee stopped Kenny Matheson’s breakaway as well as the follow-up attempt. Evan Neugold had a good look for the Panthers at 7:01, but Hamilton netminder Evan Buitenhuis stopped his backhander from the slot after a failed clear. Midway through the extra session, Moorfield-Yee came up big on Jon Carkeek before Buitenhuis denied Mark McLellan with a glove save. In the final minute, Moorfield-Yee stopped Robbie Murden on the left wing and then denied a last-second shot after a face-off at the buzzer. Hamilton finished the game with a 38-21 shots advantage, with 20 saves from Buitenhuis. Moorfield-Yee finished with 37 stops.

Youths urged to sign up for turkey hunt VERMONT — Youth hunters are encouraged to sign up for the fourth annual Governor’s Youth Turkey Hunt this spring. The event is sponsored by the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) and is open to any licensed hunter under the age of 16. Youth hunters will be treated to a luncheon on Sunday, April 17, at the Waterbury Fish & Game Club, where they will take part in a discussion on the importance of the hunting tradition in Vermont. Fish & Wildlife Department Commissioner Louis Porter will be in attendance for the event. The following weekend, the young hunters will take part in a guided turkey hunt to coincide with Vermont’s youth turkey hunting weekend on April 23-24. “I always look forward to this event,” Gov. Shumlin said. “It’s a
wonderful opportunity to enjoy a Vermont tradition with the young Vermonters who will carry it on for generations to come.” Interested youth hunters are required to submit a completed application along with a letter explaining why they would like to participate in the event. Applications are available at vtfishandwildlife.com and must be submitted by April 1. “The Governor’s Youth Turkey Hunt is a great way for kids to try turkey hunting under the supervision of a professional guide and mentor,” said NWTF chapter vice-president Don Isabelle. “The young hunters have a great chance of seeing birds at that time of year. Turkey hunting is especially fun for kids because there is often a lot of action, calling back and forth with a bird.” “Gov. Shumlin is an ideal spokesman for this program,” said Isabelle.
“As a lifelong hunter, he understands the importance of this tradition.” “Kids who are exposed to hunting at a young age often become lifelong hunters and passionate conservationists,” said Fish & Wildlife Department wild turkey project leader Amy Alfieri. “They gain a strong appreciation for where their food comes from, and they understand the importance of healthy habitat for wildlife.” An initiative of the Vermont State Chapter of the NWTF, the Governor’s Youth Turkey Hunt coincides with this year’s Jakes’ Day event, an annual youth turkey hunting event held by the NWTF to educate youth about wildlife conservation and stewardship of Vermont’s natural resources. Each youth hunter will be provided a guide from the NWTF. Previous hunting experience is not required to participate.

ness, the grace, the strength, the vulnerability and the story of the person before me and feel honored that I am their companion. What do fashion and hospice have in common? We ALL share the reality that clothes and death are a natural part of our existence. If we continue to fear how we dress or how we die we will miss the stunning beauty within ourselves and within our last breaths. If we learn about those things that we fear, we create choices rather than obstacles. I’m not sure about you, but I want to pick what I wear each day and I want to be engaged in how I die. Which is why talking about end of life care, the way we talk about the details of a bride’s gown, can be such a gift to all involved. In her poem “Next Time,” Mary Oliver persuades us to pay attention to what is felt only after we pause, taking a moment for the deeper story to unfold. At the end, she captures the essence of the treasures to be found beneath our hurried interactions with the world around us — “and for every person the body glowing inside the clothes like a light.” In that light, I can be intentional about connecting on the deepest level to the humanity that compels us to care for one another. In that light, I can simply reach my hand to grasp theirs, open my heart to their heart, touch my soul to their soul. In that light and in that moment, my fear of dying melts away. In that moment, meaning is brought to the questioning, the anguish and the healing. And in that moment, I know my life will be forever changed … for I have met the most beautiful person in the world. Laurie Borden is the program assistant at Hospice Volunteer Services in Middlebury. She serves on the ARCH (Addison Respite Care Home) board creating/exploring end of life options for the community. She lives in Weybridge with her husband, mother and three Bernese mountain dogs.

National FFA Week February 20-27
Students across the country fete FFA INDIANAPOLIS — Agriculture plays a key role in our daily lives and in a variety of ways. Next week, more than half a million FFA members will celebrate the role agriculture plays in our lives while sharing their message of agriculture and agricultural education throughout the country. During National FFA Week, a host of activities are planned to raise awareness about the role the National FFA Organization plays in the development of agriculture’s future leaders and the importance of agricultural education. FFA Week always runs Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb.
22, George Washington’s birthday. This year, the week kicks off on Feb. 20 and culminates on Feb. 27. The weeklong tradition, which began in 1948, was designated by the National FFA Board of Directors in recognition of Washington’s legacy as an agriculturalist and farmer. FFA was founded by a group of young farmers back in 1928. Its mission is to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. Founding members of the organization taught generations that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting — it involves science, business and more.
Today, FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet new agricultural challenges by helping members develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of career pathways. Members progress to enjoy careers as biologists, chemists, veterinarians, engineers and entrepreneurs. FFA chapters use this week to help share the message of agriculture with their fellow students as well as with their community. It’s an opportunity to give back to their community through service projects and is also a perfect time for members to recruit students to become FFA members.

it,” said VDIA President Bebe Zabilansky. “Dairy farmers, government officials, students, legislators, and educators come together in support of the dairy industry. Bringing these
groups together is a central mission of the Vermont Dairy Industry Association.” Based on nomination criteria (See Milk awards, Page 8B)

What is National FFA Week? Each year, FFA (Future Farmers of America) chapters around the country celebrate National FFA Week. The weeklong tradition began in 1947 when the National FFA Board of Directors designated the week of George Washington’s birthday as National FFA Week in recognition of his legacy as an agriculturist and farmer. The first National FFA Week was held in 1948. Today, FFA Week always runs Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb. 22, Washington’s birthday. National FFA Week did not start out as a weeklong event. At first it was National FFA Day. The 1933 National FFA Convention Proceedings records the beginning of FFA Day in this way: “Stewart of Montana requested the floor at this time to present a matter of general interest. He suggested the idea of having a special Future Farmer Day some time during 1934, preferably on one of the regular national FFA broadcasting days. “It was pointed out that the various state associations could perhaps plan special state broadcasts also on that day and that chapters might plan their father-and-son banquets on the date specified. The idea seemed to meet with general delegate approval and after some discussion it was moved by Stewart that the Board of Trustees arrange for such a day; motion passed.”
February brings awareness to FFA and CTE programs INDIANAPOLIS — This month, FFA will celebrate CTE Month 2016 in collaboration with the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE).

Ferrisburgh children’s theater to perform March 5 VERGENNES — The Ferrisburgh Children’s Theater cast of 30 students will present “Wagon Wheels a-Rollin’” by Tim Kelly at the Vergennes Union High School auditorium on Saturday, March 5. The performance begins at 7 p.m. Tickets, available at the door, are $6 for adults and $3 for children. In this goofy Western, woe falls upon Chuck Wagon’s wagon train. They run aground at the notorious Whistling Skull Rock outside the tiny town of Vinegar Bottle, which happens to be crawling with villains and bandits. This story is a fast-paced spoof of the Old West and is filled with hilarious characters, including our trailblazin’ hero, Chuck Wagon; our sweet heroine, Candy Cane; and the villainous crooked card dealer, Smiling Slade Clagget.
The Ferrisburgh Children’s Theater, in its 16th year, is a 20-week afterschool program for Ferrisburgh students in fifth and sixth grades. The primary goal of the program is to give young students a chance to experience the sense of self-confidence and joy that comes from working with a group of peers to put together a theatrical production. The program includes playing drama games, learning basic acting skills, rehearsing the play and working on costuming, set design and construction, and prop making. The program is a volunteer effort and is funded through ticket sales, donations and generous grants from the Ferrisburgh Central School PTO, Neat Repeats in Middlebury and Sweet Charity in Vergennes.
Storytellers offer free course MIDDLEBURY — The StoryMatters storytelling group in Middlebury will offer a free mini-course in storytelling starting Tuesday, March 1, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Ilsley Public Library. The course will run for four
Tuesday evenings in March, and will culminate in a storytelling session for family and friends on an April date to be chosen. To join, email David Weinstock at david.weinstock@gmail.com, or sign up at the library front desk.
NER reading series to feature Vermont poets, fiction writer MIDDLEBURY — New England Review’s Vermont Reading Series presents poets Jennifer Grotz and Sydney Lea and fiction writer Janice Obuchowski, who will read from their recent work on Monday, March 14, at 7 p.m. at 51 Main at the Bridge in Middlebury. Jennifer Grotz’s new collection of poetry, “Window Left Open,” was just released from Graywolf Press. Her previous collections are “The Needle” and “Cusp.” Her poetry has appeared in the New Republic, the New Yorker, and Best American Poetry. She teaches at the University of Rochester and in the MFA program at Warren Wilson College, and is the assistant director of the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. Sydney Lea is the author of a dozen poetry collections, with “No Doubt the Nameless” just out this spring from Four Way Books. He has also published a novel, a collection of literary criticism and four volumes
of personal essays, most recently “What’s the Story? Reflections on a Life Grown Long.” He was founder and longtime editor of the New England Review, and he currently lives in northern Vermont. Janice Obuchowski has her MFA in fiction from the University of California, Irvine. She’s served on the admissions board for the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference and has been a lecturer at the University of Vermont and Middlebury College. A fiction editor at the New England Review, she has published stories in Gettysburg Review, Passages North, Slice, and Seattle Review. She has also recently completed a novel. This reading is co-sponsored by the Vermont Book Shop and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. Light refreshments will be served. Books, cocktails and other beverages will be available to purchase. The event is free and open to the public.
Home improvement WORK RECENTLY STARTED to renovate the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Vergennes’ School Street clubhouse. The effort will add a kitchen the club officials say is critical for the organization’s outreach efforts and ability to serve the community, create handicap accessibility and a dedicated homework area, and give the entire space a facelift, all at a cost of around $90,000. Club officials have donations in hand, including many of labor and materials, but are still fundraising. Since the club’s founding in the late 1990s in the Vergennes National Guard Armory, its leadership had sought its own building, with outdoor recreation available as well as a kitchen and a clubhouse. But in 2015 the club’s board decided the best option for the club was to upgrade its longtime School Street home. Pictured are Boys & Girls Club of Greater Vergennes Executive Director Mike Reiderer and Donnie Jerome and Dave White of PJ Welch Construction. Independent photos/Trent Campbell
Applications open for state conservation camps The Opera Company of Middlebury to Week-long learning experience teaches appreciation of nature launch new season in June with ‘Macbeth’ MONTPELIER — Youth ages 12 “Whether kids come alone or before the application. It contains
to 14 years old who want to learn about Vermont’s wildlife and gain outdoor skills may be interested in attending one of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department’s Green Mountain Conservation Camps next summer. The one-week camp program is held at two locations — Lake Bomoseen in Castleton and Buck Lake in Woodbury. Campers participate in hands-on learning experiences focusing on fish and wildlife conservation, ecology, forestry, orienteering, safe firearm and archery techniques, swimming, canoeing, fishing and more in an attractive outdoor setting. Natural resource professionals come to the camp during the week to share information on their programs and take campers out for field activities.
with friends, they are guaranteed to meet new people and form new bonds while experiencing Vermont’s natural resources to the fullest,” said Fish & Wildlife Education Coordinator Alison Thomas. “An important takeaway message and common theme during the week is that conserving and managing habitat will help ensure Vermont will have fish and wildlife in the future.” Conservation Camps open June 19 and continue until Aug. 19. Tuition is $250 for the week, including food, lodging and equipment. Check the Fish & Wildlife website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com) for information, including scholarship availability. A printable application also is available on the website. Be sure to read the information section
important policy, refund, cancellation and billing information. For more information about Green Mountain Conservation Camps email fwgmcc@vermont. gov or call 802-828-1460. Vermont’s conservation camp program is unique because it is sponsored and directed by Fish & Wildlife professionals — the same people who manage Vermont’s fish and wildlife resources. Working biologists, foresters, game wardens and conservation educators teach young people about Vermont’s forests, wetlands and wildlife. The program’s greatest strength is connecting young people to the outdoors. The camp program is sponsored in part through a grant from the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program.

MIDDLEBURY — The Opera Company of Middlebury will open its 13th season with Giuseppe Verdi’s “Macbeth,” June 3-11. “With two of the most challenging roles in opera, you can’t even consider ‘Macbeth’ unless you have two absolutely riveting singeractors,” said Douglas Anderson, artistic director of OCM. “We have them in Rochelle Bard, who sang a searing Violetta in our production of ‘La Traviata’ two years ago, and Joshua Jeremiah, who starred as Athanael in our production of ‘Thaïs.’” The second production of the season will be Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s classic “The Magic Flute,” in a staged concert performance in October. This production will be especially adapted for families and sung in English, and will be crafted with the aid of area grade school students. “Macbeth” premiered in Florence in 1847 and arrived in New York 11 years later. Though one of Verdi’s earliest works, it has a passionate, melodic score and an unrelieved intensity, and has lately been rediscovered as one of his masterworks. OCM’s professional singers are cast from a lengthy audition process in New York and Vermont. Rounding out the cast of “Macbeth” are Rubin Casas, who will sing the bass role of Banquo, and tenor Alok Kumar, Call to Schedule Delivery

opening-night performance on June 3. Complimentary champagne will be served and the audience will have an opportunity to meet the cast. “Macbeth” will continue in performance Sunday, June 5, with a 2 p.m. matinee, and June 9 and 11 at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall Theater in Middlebury. Tickets are $55-$75. A special June 10 performance will feature the talented young singers covering the major roles. Tickets for this piano-only performance will be $30. An informative talk on the opera will be presented an hour before each performance at Memorial Baptist Church, across from Town Hall Theater on South Pleasant Street. Tickets for “Meet the Singers” and “Macbeth” go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, March 1. OCM members may reserve their seats beginning Feb. 23. Tickets may be purchased at www.townhalltheater. org, over the phone at 802-382-9222 or in person at the Town Hall Theater Box Office (daily except Sunday, noon-5 p.m.). OCM performances routinely sell out, so advance tickets are recommended. For more information about the 2016 season, visit www.ocmvermont.org.

last season’s triumphant Calàf, who will sing Macduff. Tenor Yi Li will perform Malcolm. Maestro Emmanuel Plasson will lead the OCM orchestra. In October, OCM will mount a special reduced version of “The Magic Flute” in English (with supertitles, as in all OCM operas). “We’re copying the Met in presenting this work in a shorter version that will appeal to families. ‘The Magic Flute’ has a wild theatricality and a lot of comedy, the perfect intro opera for young people. But there is much to appeal to adults as well, especially that famous score,” says Anderson. “I can listen to the score 100 times and find something fresh in it every time.” OCM is seeking funding for a special performance just for students. On Sunday, May 22, the community will have a chance to meet the remarkable “Macbeth” cast at the annual “Meet the Singers” recital and reception at 5 p.m. at the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society. Each cast member of “Macbeth” will sing a favorite song or aria. The CVUUS is located at 2 Duane Court just off Water Street, south of Cross Street. Tickets are $35, which includes a complimentary ticket to the Young Artists Recital, Tuesday evening, June 7. A free reception will follow the

This week we would like to commend the Middlebury College Men’s Rugby team for their excellent service to the community. This fall, the team initiated a Sunday afternoon grilled lunch at the Charter House and have continued to serve it ever since. Community members rave about the meal and the Charter House Board of Director President, Andy Nagy-Benson, says he is extremely impressed by the team’s strong commitment to service. The team’s community service coordinator, Raouf Belkhir, says he and his fellow teammates enjoy the opportunity to interact with the community while helping provide a meal. He went on to say, “[The weekly lunches] foster an important relationship between the college and community members of Middlebury.” Belkhir and the rest of the team hope to have stared a tradition that will last for years to come. Thank you Middlebury College Rugby!

School Briefs Monica Birchmore of Vergennes, Matthew Giles of Vergennes, Amanda Mason of Addison, and Amanda Vincent of New Haven recently competed in Champlain College’s 2016 Elevator Pitch Competition. The contest, which is put on by Champlain College’s Build Your Own Business (BYOBiz) Program, Career Services, the Center for Service & Civic Engagement, and the Office of Advancement, requires students to give a 90-second “pitch” about a business idea to an executive (who is known as “the suit”) as they ride together in a fictional elevator. The three categories of competition are Entrepreneurs, Job/Internship Seekers, and Non-Profit/Social Advocates. Isaac Parker of Starksboro and Colin Ryan of Cornwall were named to the dean’s list for the fist semester of the 2015-2016 academic year at Maine Maritime Academy. Both are majoring in marine engineering technology.
Ask our Agent...
Q:
I’ve checked around with agents about selling my house and when I ask what the commission would be they all give me the same figure. Are you all part of some sort of cartel or does the state fix the commission? No and no. In fact, if Realtors got together and Jeff Olson agreed to charge the same commissions, they’d be guilty of price fixing—a serious crime. So they are by nature negotiable. That said, there are certain customs that exist when it comes to commission rates, and usually for good reason. Today’s rates reflect the need to share commissions when another agent brings a buyer to the table, as well as the hard work and expertise Realtors put into ensuring a smooth and satisfying transaction for all. Do you have questions about buying or selling a house? Call or email me anytime for a no-obligation consultation.

We’re happy to recognize the staff at the Addison Independent for another successful showing at the New England Newspaper and Press Association’s annual newspaper contest and convention held in Boston this past weekend. The Independent won 20 awards, including 9 first places, and took top honors in General Excellence. What makes these awards special is the hope that our good work helps create informed readers and citizens, and that we are helping communities stay informed on important issues and bringing insight to the big concerns of our times. If, at the end of the day, that work helps create stronger communities, that’s the true measure of our success and why we continue to work hard at our jobs. Congratulations to the Addison Independent staff, and to our readers for your continued support! Angelo Lynn, publisher
