Mount Abe lax outlasts Otter Valley Eagles hit 3-0 vs. improved Otters

By ANDY KIRKALDY BRISTOL — The high-scoring Mount Abraham Union High School boys’ lacrosse team on Monday moved to 3-0, but it wasn’t easy. The Eagles had to survive a challenge from an improved Otter Valley squad to win, 15-11, in a physical game marked by 18 penalties.

The Eagles looked like they would coast when they took a 4-0 lead in the first 5:18, as senior middie Charlie Meyer scored three of his four goals, one of them courtesy of senior attacker Dylan Weaver’s three assists, and also set up one of Weaver’s two goals.

But the Otters served notice in their opener they would hang in there the rest of the way — after first-period goals from middies Collin Eugair and Will Ross and attacker Keenan Pratt (from attacker Colton Leno), it was 4-3 after one.

The Eagles used a big second quarter to lead by 11-5 at the break, but the Otters fought back to within three, 13-10, when Leno (a goal and (See Lacrosse, Page 2B)

Women’s lacrosse cruises past Bobcats, reaches 10-0 LEWISTON, Maine — The Middlebury College women’s lacrosse team took a 5-0 lead on Saturday on the way to a 12-5 NESCAC victory at Bates. The Panthers, ranked No. 2 in NCAA Division III, improved to 10-0, 6-0 NESCAC heading into a home game this coming Saturday vs.

No. 10 Trinity. Bates, ranked No. 8, dropped to 10-2, 5-2 NESCAC. On this past Saturday, the Panthers limited the Bobcats to two goals dur-

ing the opening half and held the Bobcats scoreless for one stretch of 31:30. Goalie Katie Mandigo made seven saves and added five ground balls for the Panthers.

Laurel Pascal opened the scoring 1:57 into the contest, and Mandigo made a key save on a free-position shot by Bobcat Drew Barry a minute later.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College men’s lacrosse team picked up two more wins in recent action, including a home victory on Saturday over then No. 6 Bates. The Panthers, winners of three straight, improved to 7-4, 5-2 in NESCAC play, and climbed to No. 10 in the NCAA Division III poll released on Monday.

The Panthers were set to visit Springfield on Wednesday before traveling to Trinity on Saturday.

On this past Saturday, the Panthers bolted to a 9-3 halftime lead on the way to taking down Bates, 15-12.

The Bobcats (8-3, 4-3) dropped to No. 13 in the rankings with the setback.

Middlebury opened the game on a 4-1 run. Jack Rautiola cashed in a Bates turnover at 12:01, and six minutes later Tim Giarrusso made it 2-1 with an assist from Jon Broome.

After a Bates score, goals by Giarrusso and Sean Carroll made it 4-1 after one period.

Hundreds pay tribute to McCabe

By KARL LINDHOLM MIDDLEBURY — On Saturday, April 9, more than 400 people gathered in Mead Chapel at Middlebury College to acknowledge the life of Andy McCabe and celebrate his love of family, friends, the outdoors, wine, and soccer in a service at once poignant and hilarious, full of tears and laughter. McCabe died unexpectedly on April 2 at age 54.

A 1983 graduate of Middlebury College, Andy McCabe was a long-time resident of Addison County, a small-business owner and soccer coach. He was raised in nearby Elizabethtown, N.Y., and, after graduation from Middlebury, served in the Peace Corps in the Philippines working on water projects. He married Monica Carroll, Middlebury class of 1987, and they had three children — Jane, Shaw, and Duncan — who attend-

Men’s tennis team posts wins vs. NESCAC rivals WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Middlebury College men’s tennis team won a pair of NESCAC road matches this past weekend against teams ranked in the top 20 in NCAA Division III. The 9-2 Panthers were ranked No. 3 in the March 31 poll.

The Panthers will host No. 2 Bowdoin this Saturday.

This past Saturday, the Panthers defeated host No. 9 Williams, 8-1.

Williams dropped to 9-2, 2-1 in league play.

The Panther No. 1 doubles team of Ari Smolyar and Noah Farrell, the No. 2 team of Palmer Campbell and Hamid Derbani, and the No. 3 pair of Kyle Schlanger and William de Quant all prevailed.

Winning in singles were Farrell at No. 1, Smolyar at No. 2 and Campbell at No. 3 in straight sets, de Quant at No. 4 in three sets, and Timo van der Geest at No. 6 when his foe retired with an injury. Derbani lost a three-set match at No. 5.

On Sunday, No. 17 Tufts (8-4, 3-2 NESCAC) took a 2-1 lead after doubles, with only de Quant and Schlanger at No. 3 prevailing for the Panthers. But Middlebury bounced back to sweep singles play and win, 7-2.

Winning in straight sets were Farrell at No. 1, Campbell at No. 3 and Derbani at No. 5. Smolyar at No. 2, de Quant at No. 4 and van der Geest at No. 6 earned three-set victories.

Women (Continued from Page 1B) shot in to make it 2-0 at 22:48, and Megan Griffin scored 50 seconds later to push the lead to 3-0. Middlebury added tallies by Claire Russell and Bridget Instrum for a five-goal advantage at 14:54.

Bobcat Moriah Greenstein finally solved Middlebury’s defense with a goal at 14:05. Sydney Cowles made it 5-2 just over five minutes later. Middlebury added the final goal of the half at 2:28, when Mary O’Connell picked the top left corner of the net after taking a nice transition pass from Alli Sciarretta.

In the second half, the Panthers again netted two unassisted goals in a span of 39 seconds. Chrissy Ritter picked up the first at 27:43 and Instrum netted the second at 27:09.

Sciarretta soon made it 10-2 with a pair of goals separated by 12 seconds, the first on a free-position shot and the second with an assist Mary O’Connell.

Soon afterward Griffin and Pascal tallied 17 seconds apart to make it 12-2 with 18:15 left. Bates added three goals in the final 7:42. Bates goalie Hannah Jeffrey recorded nine saves.

Middlebury held advantages in both shots (31-19) and ground balls (26-16). Panther defender Alex White scooped a game-high seven ground balls. The Panthers’ relentless pressure also forced the Bobcats into 24 turnovers, compared to Middlebury’s 13. White, Mandigo and Hollis Perticone each caused two turnovers to lead Middlebury in that department.

Lacrosse (Continued from Page 1B) three assists) deposited a Eugair feed with 6:53 to go in the fourth. Mount Abe finally put the game out of reach on goals by Sebastian Durante and Lucas Richter (five goals and three assists).

A year ago, OV went 1-15. Now things look to be on the upswing under first-year coach Jesse Milliman after the competitive matchup on Monday against the Eagles, who look to be one of the favorites in the new Division III. “We didn’t execute the best, but I have a bunch of warriors on my team, and I’m the proudest coach in the world today. We came out and fought and battled,” Milliman said.

“We’re going to get better, and we can’t wait to play these guys again in a few weeks.”

Eagle Coach Ryan Fitzpatrick agreed the Otters are improved.

“This is night and day compared to last year when we played them,” Fitzpatrick said. “I give Coach a lot of credit. That’s a whole different squad right now. It was a great game.”

Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick is liking what he sees in his Eagles, especially on the offensive end. After three games, they have scored 48 goals

(including 18 vs. D-II U-32), with Richter one of many weapons.

“I’ll take that average any day,” Fitzpatrick said. “We’re kicking on a different gear this year. The kids are feeling it.”

Monday’s second quarter proved to be the Eagles’ strongest. Meyer netted a man-up goal in the first minute, picking up a ground ball after OV freshman goalie Alec Stevens (11 saves) denied middie Sam Paradee. Richter made it 6-3 at 10:12 after Meyer found him open on the left side.

The Eagles then took back-to-back penalties (they committed 10 in all), and OV middie Colin Parker tossed in a bomb during the second one to make it 6-4 at 7:03.

Mount Abe then went on a 4-0 run in the 1:33. Owein Labarr (three goals, two assists), who won faceoffs all day, nabbed the next one, raced

in and scored. Paradee then made a long run down the right side and set up Richter at the far post. Next the Eagles added a man-up goal, with Ryan Bonar feeding Labarr at the top of the OV box for a hard, long shot.

Richter cut across the middle and set up Weaver at the left post at 5:27 to make it 10-4 and finish the run.

OV attacker Erik Sherman (two goals, three assists) cut in from the left side and whipped a bullet into the upper right corner shortly afterward to break the spell, and at 2:01 Richter capped the quarter by converting a Labarr feed from just outside the crease, and it was 11-5 at the break.

The OV defense of Trevor Lear, Rexal Bautista and Sean Martin tightened up in front of Stevens in the second half, and the Otters worked their way back in.

Pratt (three goals, one assist) and Eugair (two goals, an assist) scored early in the third quarter to make it 11-7, but then the Eagle defense of Will White-Pifer, Matt George and Pat Davison began to assert itself.

The only other goal of the quarter came from Richter, and Mount Abe led by 12-7 entering the fourth.

The Otters kept coming, however.

The teams traded goals early in the final period, with Leno setting up Pratt for OV and Weaver feeding Richter at 8:26. Then Ross won a draw for OV, and Tyson Cram’s shot just trickled over the line at 8:06 de-

spite a good effort from Eagle goalie Tucker Paradee (eight saves). At 6:53, Eugair found Leno out front and he quick-sticked the ball home just before Paradee could intercept the pass, and it was 13-10.

But Labarr won the draw, and Durante bulled his way through the OV defense and scooped a shot home 27 seconds later to make it 14-10.

At 3:12 Richter added a crucial pad goal, from Labarr. With 15 seconds to go, OV’s Sherman capped the scoring.

Milliman said his team blends young players ready to help and veterans who have worked to improve their play.

“We have seven freshmen who came out, and we have three or four of them who are contributing right away. We have a very veteran team, so I was very fortunate to inherit those people, so we have a very nice base to build on,” he said. “And again, we’re just getting started.”

Fitzpatrick would like to see his Mount Abe defenders communicate more effectively and his offense, at least at times, show a little more patience. But he is confident the Eagles will be competitive, especially in the new Division III. “We’re feeling good, three games in and 3-0,” he said. “We have goals that we’re going to go for.”

We are so pleased with our electric solar panels that we want to tell everyone about our great experience! The wonderful team at Bristol Electronics installed the ground-mount array last fall. We had them put in our solar hot water system several years prior and had established a good working relationship with them. We already knew them to be reliable and quick to fix any problems that arose.

We enjoy the idea of being a part of protecting the environment so when it came time to deciding on what type of solar panels to install for electricity, we contacted Bristol Electronics first, while also considering other companies and products as well. There’s a big world out there with a variety of choices and it was hard to know whose product was actually best for our needs. Finally in the end, we decided on choosing Bristol Electronics because of their reliability, best price, the best installment time frame and most efficient system using micro-inverters instead of the conventional less expensive string inverters.

The team provided very professional and pleasant service all the way from the planning stages to final clean-up.

When we finally made the decision to “break ground”, they were exceptionally fast, professional and easy to work with. From start to finish, we were making electricity in about 2 weeks. Indeed, our yard looks better now than before they started! In the end, we are saving a lot of money on both our solar hot water and solar electric systems.

Thank you Bristol Electronics for your excellent service in meeting our hopes and expectations!

Sincerely, Ed & Emily Hilbert – Bristol, VT

Panthers (Continued from Page 1B) on a 4-0 run — two goals by Carroll and one each from Jack Gould and Kyle Soroka. Bates came to within five (8-3) before Cedric Rhodes swatted a loose ball out of the air just in front of the crease to give the Panthers a 9-3 lead at the break. Another Rhodes goal with the Panthers a man up made it 10-3.

Bates closed to within 11-8 early in the fourth, but Middlebury answered with goals by Soroka, Broome and Carroll to regain a six-goal lead with 6:44 remaining.

Carroll paced the Panther attack by scoring four times, while Giarrusso (three goals, an assist) and Rautiola (a goal and three assists) both produced four-point games. John Jackson led all players with 12 ground balls and won 23 of 30 faceoffs. Will Ernst made nine saves in goal for Middlebury.

Jack Allard, NESCAC’s leading scorer, poured in five goals for Bates, and Bobcat goalie Mitchell Drake made 12 saves for the visitors. Middlebury held advantages of 49-33 in shots and 30-26 in ground balls.

On April 6, the Panthers defeated host Hamilton, 12-8. Hamilton is 3-7, 1-6 NESCAC. The key stretch

came when the Panthers went on a 5-0 run to open the second half and snap a 4-4 tie.

The Panthers scored on their first five shots of the third quarter. Carroll and Giarrusso both had two goals during the run, and Broome scored the other. Hamilton later closed to within 11-8 in the fourth, but Rautiola added a pad goal with 5:41 to play.

Giarrusso scored four goals, Rau-

tiola scored twice and added an assist, while Jack Cleary and Gould each scored once and assisted two goals. John Jackson paced the Panthers with seven ground balls, while Harrison Goodkind scooped up five.

Eric Rogers and Jon Hurvitz ended the contest with three caused turnovers apiece. Ernst made 12 saves, while Continental goalie John Schisler made seven stops.

McCabe (Continued from Page 1B) gling Bard College soccer team in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., in 2013. In his three short years there, he developed his team into a highly competitive side.

Last fall, his team finished with seven wins and nine losses, and in Liberty League play (vs. Union, Vassar, Skidmore, Hobart, RIT, RPI, St. Lawrence and Clarkson) were 1-7. However, all losses were by one goal, and for his team’s dramatically improved play, Andy was named Liberty League Coach of the Year. The entire Bard team attended Saturday’s service.

man in an auto accident and lived his life with chronic pain. Yet this limitation never inhibited his exuberance of life: He loved ideas and conversation.

Andy McCabe was a person who consistently defied convention. He loved to conjure imaginative and unusual responses to situations both athletic and otherwise. His many eccentricities were warmly noted in lively anecdotes by the speakers at Saturday’s services.

Coach Saward noted in particular Andy’s indifference to sartorial convention: his choice of attire was informal at best. Saward described the challenge of recruiting young

athletes to Middlebury when his top assistant customarily showed up in boots and paint-spattered overalls.

Saward appreciated Andy’s leather aviator headgear, a gift from his children, which he liked to wear to games, especially when Middlebury played before the buttoned-down Amherst College crowd.

After the Saturday service, 75 soccer players from the Middlebury and Bard soccer teams, and Middlebury soccer alums, came together to play two hours of pick-up soccer on the South Street pitch.

A fitting tribute to Andy McCabe.

Wesleyan (154, 2-1 NESCAC) bounced back on Saturday to sweep a doubleheader, 8-1 and 10-2.

Middlebury scored in the opener in the fourth on a Graf double, a ground out and a Donohue sacrifice fly.

Wesleyan pitcher Peter Rantz tossed a complete-game three-hitter to improve to 4-1.

John Bunting (1-3) started the game for Middlebury and surrendered six earned runs in four innings.

Mark Dickerson tossed two scoreless

In game two, the hosts used a sixrun third inning to jump out in front and led by 7-0 before the Panthers scored their two runs in the sixth. Jason Lock walked, and Palekar doubled. Lock scored on a ground out

by Noah Levine, and a Cardinal error on the play allowed Palekar to score.

Graf led Middlebury with three hits in four at-bats, while Palekar reached base twice with a double and a walk.

Joe MacDonald (1-1) started for the Panthers and worked into the third inning, allowing six runs (four earned) on eight hits. Robert Erickson, Conor Himstead and Ben Karlin threw in relief.

Cardinal Nick Miceli (5-0) earned the win, giving up one earned run in six innings on four hits.

On Monday, Colin Waters tossed a complete-game two-hit shutout as the Panthers posted a 4-0 victory over Norwich (1-18) in their home opener at Forbes Field. Waters finished with two strikeouts in nine innings for his first collegiate victory.

Singles by John Luke and Sam Graf made it 1-0 in the first. In the third, MacDonald singled in Max Araya, who had walked.

In the seventh, the Panthers pushed their lead to 3-0. Drew Coash walk, moved to second on a Sebastian Sanchez bunt, and scored on a Johnny Read single. In the eighth, Araya singled and scored on a Luke double for the final run.

On Tuesday, St. Michael’s blanked the Panthers, 6-0, for the 1-14 Purple Knights’ first win of the spring. That game was moved to Middlebury because of field conditions on the SMC campus.

SMC’s Trevor Allen (1-2) tossed a seven-hit complete-game with six strikeouts. Turtel stroked a pair of hits for the Panthers, while Graf and Garrett Werner doubled. Tucker Meredith took the loss, allowing three runs on four hits with three strikeouts over three innings.

DEVON KIMBALL, LEFT, Max Ratti-Bicknell, Brandon Cousino and Hunter O’Connor have been selected to represent Vergennes Union High School at the Green Mountain Boys’ State leadership conference in LyndonVERGENNES UNION JUNIORS Alyse Beauchemin, left, Caroline Johnston and Charlotte Haigis have been ville this June. selected to attend Green Mountain Girls’ State leadership conference in June.

VUHS boys off to leadership lab Three VUHS girls to attend Girl’s State VERGENNES — The Vergennes American Legion Auxiliary has selected three junior girls from Vergennes Union High School to attend Green Mountain Girls’ State this year. The Auxiliary will sponsor Alyse Beauchemin, Caroline

Johnston and Charlotte Haigis as they spend the week of June 18 at Vermont Technical College in Randolph.

The purpose of Girls’ State is to provide citizenship training for girls of high school age; to afford them an opportunity to live together

as self-governing citizens; and to inform them about the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship, in order that they may understand and participate in the functioning of their government.

VERGENNES — The Vergennes American Legion Post 14 will be sponsoring four Vergennes Union High School delegates to the Green Mountain Boys’ State June 19-24 on the campus of Lyndon State College in Lyndonville. The VUHS delegates are Brandon Cousino, Devon

Kimball, Hunter O’Connor, and Max Ratti-Bicknell.

The boys were nominated by faculty and staff based on leadership, character and honesty, cooperativeness, community participation and service, and scholarship.

Green Mountain Boys’ State is a leadership laboratory for rising

high school senior boys. The main focus is Vermont town, county and state government, and its organization, policies and procedures.

The attendees will work on issues relating to Vermont, and debate and discuss these issues during a session at the Statehouse in Montpelier.

CSAC seeks to raise autism awareness MIDDLEBURY — The Counseling Service of Addison County (CSAC), in honor of National Autism Awareness Month, will host several activities throughout the month of April to help create awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Autism Spectrum Disorder, also known as ASD, can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. There is often nothing different in the way a person with autism looks; rather, it’s the way a person with ASD communicates and interacts with others that indicates an issue. Additionally, people with ASD have a full range of learning, thinking and problem-solving abilities that range from challenged to gifted.

On Saturday, April 23, CSAC will host a free movie screening at the conference room of its Catamount Park offices (109 Catamount Park off Exchange Street in Middlebury).

Beginning at 2 p.m. that day, see

“The Lego Movie,” which is about an ordinary Lego figurine who always follows the rules and is mistakenly identified as the “Special” — an extraordinary being and the key to saving the world.

The movie is sensory friendly, will have adjusted volume and is noise tolerant; the venue will provide room to move and flexible seating.

There will be some gross and fine motor toys at the back of the room, and CSAC staff will be available to help keep kids occupied. Drinks and snacks will be provided.

CSAC will have lots of Legos out for “The Lego Movie.”

On Tuesday, April 26, 3-7:30 p.m., CSAC will host a “Game Night” at The Lobby restaurant at 7 Bakery Lane in Middlebury. Anyone is welcome and no RSVP is needed.

Contact Megan Mayo at (802) 388-6751 for more information.

‘I Saw the Light’ tells the story of Hank Williams

Book buddies READING MENTOR BARBARA Andres reads with Salisbury sixth-grader Wyleigh Austin as part of the Everybody Wins! Vermont literacy program at Salisbury Community School recently.

The two have been reading together since Wyleigh was in second grade, making her Salisbury’s first five-year Everybody Wins! Vermont participant.

I Saw the Light; Running time: 2:03; Rating: R Hank Williams was a towering country music figure who had written 36 hit songs before he died when he was 29 years old. By then, his songs had spread among music lovers of all tastes and he had become a cross-generational legend. What fodder for a great biographical movie.

Given a wealth of personal and musical material, Director Marc Abraham has chosen to focus on Williams’ personal troubles in a way that denies audiences the pleasure of soaking up the richness of his music.

“I Saw the Light” opens on a set of beautifully lit still shots of Williams standing quietly — hat shading his face, guitar across his chest. Director Abraham then switches suddenly to Williams (Tom Hiddleston) and

sonal failings. Elizabeth Olsen is excellent as Audrey, the tough, peppery equal to her husband Hank. Cherry Jones, to her credit, doesn’t exaggerate the role of Williams’ devoted mother. The other actors are competent but they are lost in the far too long and repetitious scenes of Williams’ descent into drink. At more than two hours, the patience of the audience is tested.

Tom Hiddleston is peerless as he creates the country singer from Alabama who wrote and sang his way to fame. He saves the movie.

Asked at one point to explain his music, he captures the essence of Hank Williams’ songs: “Everybody has a little darkness in them. I show it to them — darkness and shame.”

And that was the heart of the music Hank Williams wrote and sang for millions of people in his very short life.

This fast, funny, moving, and visually creative production will feature live music, and professional actors Ethan Bowen and Sebastian Ryder with newcomers Jillian Sherwin and Donovan Piccicuto. “Hansel and Gretel” integrates classic language and vivid imagery to create a performance for both children and parents to relish.

The Bald Mountain Theater troupe will perform in nine towns around Vermont on both sides of the Green Mountains, playing in large high school auditoriums, historic opera houses and small town halls. “Our goal is to bring the touring theater troupe, so common in England and Europe, back to Vermont and New

England,” said director and founder Ethan Bowen.

Future tours will include: “How to Cook Camel: Syrian Folklore” this fall; “Viking Tales” in spring 2017; and “Jane Eyre” in fall 2017.

“We will supplement these larger productions with touring solo performances of the great short stories in the summer and our popular circus/ theater camp, which returns July 1822 in Rochester and Aug. 1-5 in Bristol (sponsored by the Bristol Recreation Department),” Bowen added.

“We aim to bring the magic of live theater to every corner of Vermont and beyond.”

Tickets for “Hansel and Gretel” may be purchased online at baldmountaintheater.org, or at the door.

Prices are $12 for adults and $8 for children under 16. The play is suitable for engaged 6-year-olds and older.

The residents are always eager to participate in her class!” Elizabeth also volunteers as the Treasurer of the Vergennes Area Senior Corps and as a member of the Grange where she helps fundraise to support non-profit organizations.

Thank you for your time, Elizabeth!

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.

We are seeking people with winning personalities and great attitudes to join our team.

Part-Time positions (20-27 hours a week) available with flexible scheduling. Must be willing to work some nights & weekends.

DELIVERING NATURAL GAS TO MIDDLEBURY – SUMMER DISTRIBUTION CONSTRUCTION MEETING Vermont Gas will install distribution piping in and around the neighborhoods of Middlebury beginning in late April. As with the installation of other in-ground utilities in or near roads and sidewalks, this can create short-term disturbance o soils, short tra fic delays, and other issues. Vermont Gas will work with the Town and property owners to reduce installation issues and restore previous conditions - for instance, protecting trees during the construction process.

At this meeting Vermont Gas staff will present the plans to inform residents about construction and how to connect to natural gas service later this year. We will also discuss the distribution line extension along Halladay Road, which will connect to a dairy-based renewable natural gas project in Salisbury. (This project will capture and prevent the release o a significant amount o methane into the atmosphere, while also creating an economic use for dairy manure.) Please join us for the discussion on April 19, 2016 from 7–8:30 pm at the Middlebury Town fices.

LINCOLN — Lincoln Historical Society wishes to thank everyone for their contributions to the recycle cart over the years. It has now been repaired and is back in its spot, ready to receive all your empty recyclable cans and bottles.

Ladies Aid-Industria has set the date for their Spring Rummage Sale. Drop-off is on Wednesday, May 4, from 1-7 p.m. No electronics, please. The sale dates are Friday, May 6, from 8 a.m. through 7 p.m., and Saturday, May 7, from 8 a.m. through noon.

The library’s Adult Movie Night will be on Tuesday, April 26, at 6:30 p.m. “Enchanted April” is about two proper Englishwomen who are determined to get away from their drab lives and inattentive husbands and find paradise in the serene countryside of the Italian Riviera. Free popcorn.

VERGENNES — Where can you play 100 holes of golf in one day, spend time with friends, maybe tee off with a tennis racquet, putt with a pool cue and walk away knowing you’ve helped make difference in the life of teenagers?

Driver charged with backing into car, DUI VERGENNES — Police on April 6 issued a Vergennes woman four citations, including a felony charge for driving under the influence, third offense, following a Main Street car accident.

Vergennes police said that at about 7:15 p.m. that Wednesday, a car driven by Crystal Soule, 34, backed out of a parking space all the way across Main Street and struck an occupied car parked on the opposite side of the road.

Ve r g e n n e s police cited Soule for DUI-drugs, driving with a criminally suspended license, possession of marijuana, and for “limitations on backing,” a charge they said stemmed from careless driving in reverse.

Between April 4 and 10, Vergennes police also responded to three burglar alarms; conducted six property watches, four parking patrols and four speed enforcement details; and: • On April 4 ticketed a driver for marijuana possession at a Monkton Road traffic stop.

• On April 5 cited two Monkton residents, a brother and sister, for the theft of $400 from a cafeteria office at United Technologies Corp.; police cited Kyrsten Howard, 31, for burglary and petit larceny, and Evan Howard, 29, for petit larceny.

• On April 5 cited a driver for speeding on North Main Street; a

criminal case is pending because police also found more than an ounce of marijuana in the vehicle.

• On April 7 dealt with a minor two-car accident on South Water Street.

• On April 7 checked a Second Street tool shed for the possible theft of tools after the owner found its door open. Police determined nothing had been taken, but advised the property owner to find a more secure storage option.

• On April 7 helped Vermont State Police process cases at the New Haven barracks.

• On April 8 dealt with a minor two-car accident at the intersection of New Haven Road and East Street.

• On April 9 at a Macdonough Drive traffic stop cited Allen Pike, 37, of Monkton for driving with a criminally suspended license.

Addison County Young Life has the answer at Basin Harbor Club in Ferrisburgh on Monday, May 16.

For over a decade golfers have been setting aside one day every year to play in the Young Life 100 Hole Golf Marathon. The day

starts with a 7 a.m. registration and breakfast on the Pro Shop porch.

Each with their own golf cart, golfers are sent out in groups of two to begin 10 hours of golf. It’s not for the faint of heart, but there is tremendous satisfaction in being part of this one-of-a-kind golf fundraiser.

There is no fee for participating in the marathon. Golfers agree, however, to raise $750 in donations, and many exceed this commitment. Young Life will help golfers secure personal and corporate sponsors and will even help first-time marathon participants by raising the first $250. Young Life awards special prizes to top golf marathon fundraisers as an incentive for golfers to go above and beyond their fundraising goals.

As with everything Young Life, the 100 Hole Golf Marathon has high adventure, lots of fun, and great food. The golf is a healthy balance of competitive play and creative entertainment. Breakfast, lunch and a beautiful buffet dinner at Basin Harbor are enough for you to register now, but it’s the moments around the golf course — and the $5,000 putt and the $1,000,000 shot — that keeps everyone talking and eager to play the next year.

There are several opportunities for local businesses interested in sponsoring the event.

Young Life, a worldwide Christian outreach organization for teenagers, has been at work with young people in Addison County for the last 12 years — being available to middle-school and highschool students and providing fun, safe and comfortable gatherings, giving them the right to be heard, and communicating God’s love in terms the students can understand.

Young Life is mainly a volunteerled organization worldwide, and the work in Addison County is no exception.

More than a dozen Young Life volunteer leaders in Bristol, Middlebury and Vergennes are currently reaching out to kids at all three of the high schools. Through weekly meetings called “club,” small groups, summer camps, weekend excursions and mentoring relationships, Young Life leaders build unconditional relationships with teenagers and model God’s love.

Woman smashes window with pan ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police reported that Nichole Nimblett, 45, of Essex Junction went to a Lake Street residence in Addison on April 8 and used a cast iron pan to smash in a window. Nimblett then reportedly entered the residence through the smashed window and confronted the homeowner over personal property belonging to her.

State police, with Addison County sheriff’s deputies, responded to the Addison home and investigated.

Law enforcement authorities arrested Nimblett and cited her for unlawful mischief and aggravated disorderly conduct.

In an unrelated incident last week, state police on April 5 at approximately 11:55 p.m. stopped a motor vehicle on Route 116 in East Middlebury. After a short investigation the trooper determined the driver was under the influence of some intoxicant. The driver, whom police say identified himself as 38-year-old Robert LaFountain of Weybridge, the registered owner of the car, provided a preliminary breath test that showed a blood alcohol content of zero.

The trooper arrested the man for suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and transported him to the New Haven barracks for a drug influence evaluation. Following the drug influence evaluation, the accused refused to provide a blood sample and was released with a citation for driving under the influence of drugs.

The next day, police determined

Police Log

the accused had falsely identified himself as his brother, and he was actually Michael J. LaFountain, 37, of Weybridge.

Then, on April 7, Middlebury police tried to pull over Michael LaFountain and a high-speed chase ensued. State police pursued Michael LaFountain on Route 23 in Weybridge at speeds over 100 mph. LaFountain eventually crashed his Volvo and was arrested and cited for DUI, attempting to elude, and gross careless and negligent driving (see the Middlebury police log, below, for a full account).

State police added the charge of giving false information to a police officer to the DUI-drugs charge from the April 5 incident.

In other recent activity, state police: • On April 7 at 2:28 a.m. stopped a motor vehicle driven in Lyndonville by 21-year-old Monkton resident Jackson Tow. Police tested Tow’s sobriety and said a preliminary roadside breath test showed a blood alcohol count of 0.086; the legal limit for driving is 0.08. The trooper cited Tow for driving under the influence; he is due to answer the charge in Caledonia Superior Court, criminal division, on April 25.

• On April 9 at 1:45 p.m. respond-

ed to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Route 7 and Fern Lake Road in Leicester. Police allege that 80-year-old Patricia Clark of Brandon, driving a 2004 Chevrolet sedan, failed to yield to a 2010 Dodge truck driven by Michael Bessette, 60, of Vergennes. The crash caused Bessette’s truck to roll over. No one was injured, but the truck sustained massive damage to the roof, and the sedan was also damaged.

• On April 10 at 7:19 p.m. arrested Roland Griffin of Shoreham at a residence on Richville Road in Shoreham. State police observed Griffin in a vehicle, and found that the Vermont Corrections Department had a warrant out for his arrest. Police processed Griffin and lodged him at the Marble Valley Correctional Facility.

• On April 10 at 9:45 p.m. police stopped a motor vehicle on Richville Road in Shoreham for traveling in excess of 30 MPH of the posted speed limit. Police cited Jason T. Hyjek, 38, of Rutland for speeding and reckless endangerment.

• Vermont State Police announced that they and other local law enforcement agencies will set up one or more sobriety checkpoints in Addison County over the next three weeks. This will be done in an effort to monitor the flow of traffic along Vermont’s highways in the interest of detecting and arresting persons under the influence of alcohol or any drug that has impaired their ability to operate a motor vehicle.

Q:

I’m very interested in buying a particular house in a great location. The problem is that it really needs a new kitchen, a paint job, and a new roof. If I buy the house, even at a discount, I won’t have much money left over to fix it up. Any advice?

A:

Jeff Olson It used to be you’d need to get a construction or rehab loan and then a traditional mortgage once the work was done. But banks are getting more creative these days by offering standard mortgage loans that also provide cash for renovations. The downside: Such loans may require you to put more money down (10-20%) than you might have to otherwise.

While not all lenders offer it, the government’s FHA 203(k) loan lets you have your cake and eat it, too. It provides money for renovation at a low interest rate—and permits a down payment as low as 3.5% of the purchase price, depending on your credit.

Call or email me and I can provide the details.
