ADDISON COUNTY — The Vergennes, Mount Abraham and Middlebury union high school baseball teams all dropped their season openers on the road on Tuesday in Metro Conference play. COMMODORES The Commodores fell to St. Johnsbury, 2-0, despite a complete-game, one-hit effort from losing pitcher Hunter O’Connor. The Hilltoppers scored twice in the second inning on an error and RBI grounder. O’Connor struck out seven and walked none, but was outdueled by St. J’s Patrick Grennan, who fanned 10 batters and also walked none. Devin Kimball doubled for VUHS. EAGLES Host Mount Mansfield used a sixrun sixth inning to break open a close game and defeat Mount Abe, 11-2. Winning pitcher James Gaboriault hit a key two-run double in the sixth. TIGERS The Tigers were no-hit by Essex hurler Maverick King, who struck out 13 batters and walked none as the Hornets prevailed, 1-0. Bruce Wright started and took the loss for the Tigers.

Angler enjoys ‘OK’ fishing Another opening day of trout season has come and gone. Many anglers were enjoying the annual Fly Fishing Film Tour at the Town Hall Theater and the Otter Creek Classic fly-fishing tournament. Thanks to a lack of melting snow, they were fishing in the best early April fishing conditions Vermont has had in years. Sutton Doria won the pro division of the tournament with a record eight trout on opening weekend. Stephen Dokus, who won the amateur division, was not far behind with seven fish — enough total inches that he would have had second place even in the pro division. But while they enjoyed nearly ideal opening day conditions, I was spending much of the last two long weekends wandering (and in one case sprinting) around airports, cramped in airplanes, and dealing with delays, missed connections and lost luggage on my way to and from first Iowa and then Oklahoma. The travel was not, however, completely without angling pursuits. This past Sunday afternoon, after a busy Friday giving talks at a small college in Shawnee, followed by Saturday and Sunday mornings speaking in a nearby community, my host Phil and I hit the road for a long drive east to the self-proclaimed trout capital of (See Dickerson, Page 3B)

Area softball teams open Metro play ADDISON COUNTY — The Mount Abraham Union High School softball team won its opener on the road on Tuesday, but at the same time Middlebury and Vergennes came up short. EAGLES The Eagles pounded out a 15-6 Metro Conference victory at Division I Mount Mansfield. Winning pitcher Rachael McCormick tripled and doubled, Macey Ross cleared the bases with a double, Emily Aldrich poked two hits and drove in three runs, and Katelynn Ouellette added a pair of hits. The Eagles also took advantage of six Cougar miscues. TIGERS Host Essex used a no-hit pitching performance by Allie Rutz to blank the Tigers, 4-0. Rutz fanned 10 and walked one and also homered for the Hornets. Losing pitcher Payton Buxton struck out nine and allowed seven hits for the 1-1 Tigers. COMMODORES The Commodores dropped their opener at St. Johnsbury, 9-6. The Hilltoppers’ Jade Cote hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning. Other details were not available on this game.

Paddling into spring
Warm temps draw record numbers to race By EVAN JOHNSON LINCOLN — The nearly snowless winter and dry spring has
meant low water on the rivers and creeks around Addison County. But for experienced and novice white-
water paddlers alike, the low water levels were an invitation to come out to compete.

This past Saturday morning, a record 48 paddlers took to the ledges on the New Haven River between downtown Bristol and Lincoln for the eighth annual race — known simply as the “New Haven Race” — organized by the Vermont Paddlers Club. Club Director Ryan McCall said that in the years he’s been running the race, he’d never seen so many people looking to participate. “There’s something about the low water that makes it more friendly and more accessible,” he said. The paddling nonprofit American Whitewater describes this stretch of the New Haven River next to Lincoln Road as a classic Vermont whitewater run. When water levels are at their normal depth, the 1.3-mile stretch of river is classified as a difficult class four, with multiple rapids and drops. (Whitewater paddling runs are classified from one, the easiest, through six, typically described as nearly impossible and extremely dangerous.) In the spring, melting snows and rain push water levels higher (See Paddlers, Page 2B)

Paddlers (Continued from Page 1B) and long-lasting snowpack has even pushed the race back. This year, the low water levels meant rapids on the course — with names like “Rooster Tail” and the final stomach-churning drop “Toaster” — were more approachable. But it also meant the course had to be shortened by about a third of its original length. “There are so many features higher on the river that are a ton of fun,” said Eric Adsit, of Lowville, N.Y., a regular participant in the race. “But with the water running so low, those features become unrunnable.

From the detailed, patient explanations, to the rebates, estimates and permits, Bristol Electronics takes care of it all. I obtained several quotes from various companies but it was Bristol Electronics who ultimately won my business with their friendly, approachable attitude and superior knowledge of the technology. When I began this project I was uneducated and apprehensive. Now I find myself encouraging my friends and family to call Bristol Electronics for a free quote and explanation because I truly believe in their product and company. They are highly skilled and professional in every respect. Stephen and his crew encouraged my children’s curiosity and made learning fun for them. Little things like making handprints in the cement of our solar system sparked talks about reducing your carbon footprint and how everyone can help, even children. The whole experience could not have been easier or better. Seeing the power meter run backwards is just icing on the cake.” Heather Shepard – Bristol

(Continued from Page 1B) Oklahoma: the small hamlet of Gore, population 900, on the Little Illinois River below the dam on Tenkiller Lake. We’d grabbed a quick lunch at Phil’s house, thrown our gear in the car and headed out as quickly as we could because thunderstorms were in the forecast. They were not supposed to hit Gore until the evening. Still, it was a two-and-a-half-hour drive and we wanted to get in as much fishing as possible. Turns out the forecast was wrong. About 4:15 p.m., just as we pulled off the interstate, and 15 minutes before we arrived at the river, the storm overtook us. Rain started pounding down. Visibility dropped to a few hundred yards. We could see regular lightning flashes even in the daylight. We found Phil’s friends hiding under a shelter near the river, and we waited out the storm. It was 5 p.m. before the worst had passed and the thunder stopped. It was still raining steadily, but I was eager to take some casts. I got into my waders and raincoat and rigged my rod. Word on the street was that trout were taking tiny midge nymphs in sizes No. 20 and smaller. I tied on 6x tippet — a very fine and light line — and a pair of miniature nymphs. Then we climbed down the trail to the river. Sections of river just below a bottom release dam are known as tailwaters. Even in hot climates, tailwaters remain cold enough year round for trout. And since the water is coming out of the bottom of a lake, it doesn’t
generally get muddied up by heavy rains (like a Vermont river will do). But when I arrived at edge of the Little Illinois, it looked like coffee with cream. Weak coffee maybe, with only a little cream. But still not very fishable. It was also running low — several feet below the line of trees and gravel that marked the usual high water mark. The dam was not generating. I would later learn that the river was running at only about 60 cfs. It was only ankle deep in places. I waded across the river and found a slightly clearer channel of water against the far shore and fished the tiny nymphs for a few minutes. But it seemed futile. There was no way a trout would see something that tiny in that water. So I tied on a big black wooly bugger and started drifting it through the one channel I found that was knee deep. Nothing. My hopes of catching my first Oklahoma trout were fading. I moved downstream where the current ran along a pool and under a tree, and I worked the seams. There was a tug on my fly. Or maybe I just snagged a rock in the shallow water. Then I felt another bump. Fish, or rock? I was pulling my fly in when I felt it so it should not have been the bottom. I got a glimmer of hope. Two minutes later the water swirled just five feet from my waders as a fish lunged for the fly and missed. Now I started working the pool seriously, casting across and drifting the fly down. Then casting to the tail and pulling it in. The next hit
was a fish. And it was on the hook. Nervous that it might break my light tippet, I played it cautiously to my feet. It was a bright rainbow trout, about 10 inches long. I removed the hook and held it for a while under the current, admiring the beauty of my first Oklahoma trout. Then I released it back into the depths of the creamy coffee. The pool probably had several trout in it. I’d leave it for a few minutes and then come back and try for another. That was when the loud horn sounded. A big long echoing impossible-to-ignore horn. One signaling that the turbines were about to start generating. I waded back across the river to the side where our car was. Fifteen minutes later the river was running at over 1,000 cfs — a 15-fold increase in water level. The trout fishing was done. Though it was my only trout of the weekend, it was not my only fish. The afternoon before, we had hit a local bass pond with fly rods. Maybe this was more fitting anyway. Oklahoma claims to have the most ponds of any state — more miles of coastline from ponds than California has on the Pacific. Casting from a kayak, I landed a bunch of largemouth bass and a few panfish. I was told the pond held some 15-pound largemouth. None of mine were over two. But it was a beautiful sunny afternoon, and maybe more of an archetypal Oklahoma experience than the trout were anyway. If I go back to Oklahoma, I might skip the trout and just chase the 15-pound bass.

Women’s lax upset by Bantams Middlebury still wins two of three MIDDLEBURY — Visiting Trinity on Saturday dealt the Middlebury College women’s lacrosse team its first setback, but the Panthers bounced back to post home wins over two other ranked teams and stand at 12-1, 7-1 in NESCAC play heading into an 11 a.m. Saturday home game vs. Colby. The Panthers dropped from No. 2 to No. 6 in the NCAA Division III rankings with Saturday’s setback, while Trinity (11-2, 7-1 NESCAC) moved from No. 10 to No. 7. On this past Saturday, defending NESCAC champion Trinity snapped a 7-7 halftime tie with four straight goals to open the second half en route to a 13-9 victory. In the back-and-forth first half, Trinity goalie Zoe Ferguson made nine saves to keep her team in the game as the Panthers controlled most of the action, earning a 16-9 edge in shots on goal. Her teammate Emily Mooney took over in goal for the second half and stopped three shots as the Bantams
possessed the ball for long stretches. Middlebury came no closer than three goals after Trinity’s 4-0 run to start the second half. Bridget Instrum led the Panthers with four goals, Laurel Pascal finished with two scores and a team-best six ground balls, Alli Sciarretta added a goal and two assists, Megan Griffin and Mary O’Connell scored a goal apiece, and Hollis Perticone and Chrissy Ritter each caused three turnovers for the Panthers. Goalie Katie Mandigo made five saves in 59:07; one Bantam goal came on an empty net. Kiley Coffey and Clare Lyne paced the Bantams with four goals and an assist apiece. On Sunday, the Panthers went on a 10-0 run that spanned both halves in a 14-4 win over visiting No. 12 Hamilton (10-3, 5-4 NESCAC). The Panther defense forced 28 turnovers in the game, won 12 of 19 draws and held a 25-14 shots advantage. Instrum’s four goals led all scorers, and she added three draw controls and one assist. Pascal finished with three goals, an assist, three ground balls and a pair of caused turnovers. Griffin
earned two goals and two assists, Sciarretta finished with three goals and an assist, while Perticone had two assists, four draw controls and two caused turnovers. Ritter chipped in a goal and two caused turnovers, Bea Eppler scored, and Mandigo made six saves. On Tuesday, the Panthers defeated visiting No. 19 Union, 15-7, using a 6-0 run early in the second half to establish a 14-4 lead. During that decisive surge, Instrum scored her 100th goal as a Panther, Sciarretta scored three times, and Ritter assisted three straight strikes. Pascal led the Panthers with four goals, and Sciarretta finished with three scores. Instrum added two goals and a game-best four draw controls, while Ritter had a goal and a gamehigh three assists. Panther defender Evie Keating finished with game highs of seven ground balls and five caused turnovers. Mandigo played the first half making two saves and allowing three scores, and Kate Furber made four stops in the second half and allowed four scores. Jen Hughes made 14 saves in 54:47 for Union.
Men’s lacrosse tops Trinity in OT HARTFORD, Conn. — The Middlebury College men’s lacrosse team on Saturday defeated host Trinity, 11-10, after rallying from a four-goal deficit in fourth quarter. The Panthers, ranked No. 10 in NCAA Division III, improved to 9-4, 6-2 in NESCAC with their fifth straight win, while the Bantams dropped to 3-9, 1-7 in league play. Middlebury next visits league foe Colby on this coming Saturday. Middlebury needed its comeback and Tim Giarrusso’s overtime strike even though it outshot the Bantams, 57-34, as Trinity goalie Henry Coote stopped 21 shots.

Hunters who provided teeth now can learn ages of deer RUTLAND — Hunters who provided the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department with a tooth from their deer can now find out how old their deer was by visiting the department’s website. A total of 2,672 teeth were received from successful rifle season hunters. When added to the 1,937 deer examined by biologists during the youth and rifle seasons, the department was able to get accurate ages for 4,609 deer. “We are thankful to the thousands of hunters who were willing to sup-
port our deer management efforts by providing us with a tooth from their deer,” said Deer Project Leader Nick Fortin. “We are particularly grateful to the handful of dedicated reporting stations that collected a tooth from every deer they reported. This effort would not have been as successful without their assistance.” Now, the department would like more information on antler size in older bucks. “Relatively few mature bucks are harvested each year, so it’s important that we collect antler data from as many of these deer as pos-
sible,” said Fortin. “This information helps us evaluate concerns related to antler development and the current antler point restriction.” If your deer was three years old or older and wasn’t examined by a biologist at the reporting station, Fish & Wildlife would like to measure its antlers. To get your antlers measured, bring them to a Fish & Wildlife district office during the month of April. Or, send a picture (or two) to AntlerPics@vermont.gov. Pictures must clearly show all antler points. Detailed instructions are available on the Fish & Wildlife’s website (www. vtfishandwildlife.com).

Police look into supicious activity Bach Festival returns next weekend ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police on Tuesday morning, April 19, were seeking the public’s help in finding the driver of red Jeep who allegedly tried to persuade two young girls to get in his vehicle near the intersection of Vincent Drive and Lower Notch Road in Bristol on Sunday, April 17. But by the end of the day troopers had closed the case. Police said it was at around noon that an 11-year-old girl and her friend noticed the red Jeep with a black top and no doors drive by with several passengers. The Jeep turned into Carterville, and shortly thereafter left Carterville with no passengers, according to state police. The vehicle pulled up to the girls and the male driver began to talk to them and attempted to persuade them to get into the vehicle, police said. The two children immediately ran away and the vehicle left the area, according to authorities. State police put out a call for anyone with information about the owner/operator or passengers of that red Jeep to contact them. At a little before 8 p.m. on Tuesday police issued a press release thanking the public for their assistance with this incident. “After a thorough investigation the driver of the vehicle has been identified and it has been determined that no criminal act occurred,” the press release said. “This case is considered closed.” In other recent activity, state police: • On April 9 at 12:50 p.m. responded to Main Street home in New Haven for a report of an intoxicated woman with a knife. Troopers entered the residence and found the woman, identified as 27-year-old Jaine Perotti, passed out. Police put Perotti in protective custody and the Bristol Rescue Squad transported her to Porter Hospital for evaluation. Police said she had violated court ordered conditions of release by possessing and consuming alcohol, and they cited her for that violation. State police returned to the Main Street home on April 14 at 7:25 p.m. to check on Perotti’s welfare. After speaking with Perotti, police deter-

mined she had been consuming alcohol, which is a violation of her court order conditions. The trooper arrested Perotti, cited her for violating court ordered conditions, and lodged her at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility for lack of $1,000 bail. • Cited an Orwell man twice last week in separate abuse cases. First, on April 12 at 11 p.m., troopers were contacted regarding a relief from abuse order violation. After a short investigation police determined Steven K. Anderson, 22, had violated the order. Police arrested Anderson, transported him to the New Haven barracks, and cited him to answer the charge of violating a relief from abuse order in Addison Superior Court, criminal division. Then, on April 16 at 8 p.m., were called to the same Orwell address regarding another violation of the order. The troopers again investigated, took Anderson to the barracks and cited him this time for violating a relief from abuse order and also for violation conditions of release. • On April 13 at approximately 7:20 a.m. responded to a singlevehicle crash on Route 116 South in Bristol. Police said the driver, identified as 57-year-old William Gibbs of Georgia, Vt., was driving southbound on Route 116 at approximately 40-45 mph, felt something wrong with his steering as he went through a curve, and travelled off the road – flipping his 2004 GMC truck in the process. It was later found that one of Gibbs’ front tie rods had snapped. Gibbs, who was wearing a seatbelt, sustained no injuries and his vehicle sustained moderate damage. State police do not believe alcohol or drugs contributed to the crash. • On April 13 at approximately 7 p.m. stopped a motor vehicle on Route 7 in Middlebury, and ended up citing the driver, identified as 22-year-old Alexander T. Dupoise, 22, of New Haven, for driving under
the influence of drugs. • On April 14 at 36 minutes past midnight stopped a motor vehicle police were alerted that an intoxicated man was leaving a business on West Street in Bristol. State police stopped the vehicle before the driver, Taylor R. Huckaby, 22, of Tyler, Texas, was able to leave. A preliminary breath test showed that Huckaby’s blood alcohol content was 0.157 percent; the legal limit for driving is 0.08. Police cited Huckaby for DUI. • On April 14 at a few minutes before 9 p.m. responded to Route 53 in Salisbury for a report of a vehicle off the road in a culvert. Police suspected that the driver, who identified himself as Charles J. Liberty, 70, of Salisbury, had consumed alcohol during the course of the evening. A preliminary breath test showed his blood alcohol content was 0.151 percent. Police cited Liberty for DUI. • On April 15 at 9:19 p.m. stopped a motor vehicle on Route 116 in Bristol for a traffic infraction. Police tested the driver, identified as 24-year-old Clayton Allen of Bristol, and a preliminary sample of his breath showed a blood alcohol content of 0.084 percent. Police cited Allen for DUI, second offense. • On April 17 at 6:25 a.m. responded to a report of a one-car crash on Route 22A in Orwell. State police report that the 18-year-old driver of the vehicle had fallen asleep and drove off of the road into a river. While the car sustained massive damage, the driver was uninjured. • On April 17 at 10:43 a.m. responded with the Stockbridge Fire Department and White River Valley Ambulance to a one-car crash on Route 100 in Stockbridge. By the time police got there, the driver had left on foot. Police found the driver, 25-year-old Sean Hurd of Brandon, on Route 100 in Rochester. Police said their investigation showed that Hurd was attempting to pass a vehicle on a curve when he lost control of the 2004 Ford Explorer he was driving and went down an embankment. Hurd was not hurt, but the Explorer was judged to be a total loss. Police cited Hurd for negligent driving.

LINCOLN — Happy spring! I don’t dare put my screens in my storm doors quite yet, but it certainly was a beautiful day last Sunday. I have a correction to make: Last week it read “a month-long construction” period for the new town office. That would be a miracle! It should have read “a six-month-long construction,” and it could possibly be longer. Help support the Lincoln Community School and enjoy a fun evening at the ballpark. The students at LCS are selling Vermont Lake Monsters tickets to raise money to improve the ball fields at the school. Improve-
ments will include making both a regulation soccer field (to age 8) and a Little League field (for minor and farm league games) as well as acquiring new goals, bases and other necessary equipment. Join us for LCS Friends and Family Night at Centennial Field on Friday, Aug. 12, as the Lake Monsters take on the Tri-City Valley Cats at 7:05 p.m. Grandstand tickets are $6 each. To purchase tickets, please contact an LCS student or call the school at 453-2119. We hope to see you all at the ballpark. Thank you for your support. Green Up Day is Saturday, May 7, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Lincoln
Fire Station. As always after Green Up, there will be a Volunteer Appreciation Lunch, a table of raffle items, and, back by popular demand, a kids’-only raffle where we will give away two Razor A Kick scooters. To be eligible for the raffle, kids must have participated in roadside cleanup. For the regular raffle, volunteers will receive one raffle ticket per bag that is brought back after cleanup. The raffle will be held promptly at 12:30 p.m. You must be present to win raffle items. To sign up for roadside cleanup, please email Dawn Mikkelsen at dawnyanks@gmail.com. Thank you.
MIDDLEBURY — The sixth annual Middlebury Bach Festival will take place April 29-May 1 at Middlebury College. The festival features two cantatas for choir and orchestra, BWV 29 and BWV 34 by J.S. Bach, conducted by Jeffrey Buettner; “Concerto in F Minor for Harpsichord,” also by J.S. Bach, played by Cynthia Huard; and an unaccompanied “Passacaglia for Solo Violin” by Heinrich Biber, played by violinist Mary Rowell. Cynthia Huard has appeared in recital as a pianist and harpsichordist throughout the United States and in Europe. She is the artistic director of the summer concert series of the Rochester Chamber Music Society where she performs with internationally known artists, and has performed with the Lark Quartet, cellist Nathaniel Rosen, and with chamber players of several orchestras including the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Toronto Symphony, the National Symphony, the Colorado Symphony, the Utah Symphony, and the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. She has been a featured soloist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, and at the Aston Magna Early Music Festival, among others. Huard spent three years as a fellowship student in Austria earning degrees in Piano Performance and Harpsichord Performance as well as Music Theory. At Indiana University she earned advanced degrees in piano and harpsichord as well as studying modern chamber music with members of the Borodin Trio and baroque chamber music at the Indiana University Early Music Institute. She is currently an affiliate artist at Middlebury College. Considered by critics to be one of the most important and exciting performers on the contemporary scene today, the innovative violinist Mary Rowell cannot be classified. Known for her work with the Grammy Award-winning Tango Project, the indie band The Silos and pop icon Joe Jackson, she has carved an indelible place in the contemporary classical music world with the postclassical quartet ETHEL, of which she is co-founder. Rowell has performed, recorded and premiered countless scores of today’s composers as soloist and chamber musician. She has appeared as violin and electric violin soloist with the National Symphony, Houston Symphony, New York Chamber Orchestra, and Warsaw Philharmonic, among others, and has stunned the dance world with her brilliant solo electric violin performances of Richard Einhorn’s “Maxwell’s Demon.” Rowell is an ensemble member of the Tribeca New Music Festival specializing in the “avante-pop” and is half of the experimental Americana duo BRIM with composer/
PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS CYNTHIA Huard, and Mary Rowell, below, perform with the Bach Festival Orchestra and Middlebury College Choir in the grand Festival Concert of the 2016 Bach Festival on Saturday, April 30, at 8 p.m. at Middlebury College. The sixth annual Bach Festival features a number of early music performances, both on campus and in downtown Middlebury, between April 29 and May 1.
performer Eve Beglarian. A graduate of the Juilliard School, she currently teaches at Middlebury College and is the concertmaster of the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra and the Broadway hit show “Newsies.” Huard and Rowell join students and professional musicians from Vermont and the surrounding region for this popular festival celebrating the music and influence of Johann Sebastian Bach. Three days of musical events will bring the college and town of Middlebury together, modeled after the way the famous organist/composer worked in Leipzig over 275 years ago. The festival is organized by Jeffrey Buettner, associate professor of music and director of choral activities, and Jessica Allen, singer, voice teacher, Music Together teacher, and director of music at the Congregational Church of Middlebury. “One of the best things about this Festival is that it features stunning music that is highly significant historically, but isn’t frequently performed,” said Buettner. “Early music has an allure, and players, singers and audience members are still thrilling at their interaction with it — it’s what keeps us all coming back for more,” said Allen. The festival opens Friday evening, April 29, with a concert by Middlebury College’s five-voice chamber music ensemble Collegium. This concert will feature vocal music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods combined with modern dance choreographed by Scotty Hardwig and performed by students in the Middlebury College Dance Department. Selections include Monteverdi’s “Lamento d’Arianna,” theorbo duets, and motets and madrigals of Francisco Guerrero, Carlo Gesualdo, Robert White and John Bennet. The concert will take place at 8 p.m. in the Olin C. Robison Concert Hall at the Kevin P. Mahaney ’84 Center for the Arts at Middlebury College. The concert is free and open to the public. On Saturday, April 30, the festival continues with a “Bach Pocket” concert in downtown Middlebury at the Middle-
bury Community Music Center (MCMC). This short concert will be held from 11:15 a.m.-noon and features theorbo and lute. It is free and open to the public. In the afternoon, participants can return to Middlebury College for a carillon recital by Middlebury College carillonneur George Matthew Jr. at 3 p.m. on the lawn surrounding Mead Memorial Chapel. This recital is free and open to the public. Classical guitarist Eric Despard will then perform an informal concert on Saturday evening from 6-7:30 p.m. at 51 Main at the Bridge in downtown Middlebury. Attendees can hear the music free of charge while enjoying food and drink that are available for purchase at this popular nightspot. Saturday evening, April 30, at 8 p.m. is the grand Festival Concert featuring the Bach Festival Orchestra and Middlebury College Choir conducted by Jeffrey Buettner. This concert takes place in the Olin C. Robison Concert Hall. Two cantatas by J.S. Bach, BWV 29 “Wir darken dir, Gott” and BWV 34, “O weiges Feuer, o Ursprung der Liebe,” will be performed with choir and orchestra. The concert also includes J.S. Bach’s “Concerto in F Minor for Harpsichord,” BWV 1056, featuring harpsichordist Cynthia Huard. Heinrich Biber’s “Passacaglia for Solo Violin,” an unaccompanied piece, will be performed by Mary Rowell. Additional pieces include G. F. Telemann’s “Trio Sonata in G Minor, for Recorders and Continuo,” TWV 42, and “Sontata for Lute” by S.L. Weiss. Professionals and students perform side by side in this concert, in a collaboration that is unique to the festival. Tickets for the Festival Concert are $12 for the general public, $10 for Middlebury College ID holders, and free for Middlebury College students with ID. On Sunday, May 1, at 3 p.m., organist Nathan Laube performs at Mead Memorial Chapel. Laube has performed both nationally and internationally, and is assistant professor of organ at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y. He earned his bachelor of music degree at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, and master’s degree in organ from the Musikhochschule in Stuttgart, Germany. Tickets for this concert are $20 for the general public, $15 for Middlebury College ID holders, and $6 for Middlebury College students with ID. In addition, area congregations will respond to the spirit of the festival by including works by Bach in their morning services on Sunday, May 1. Participating organizations include the Congregational Church of Middlebury UCC, Memorial Baptist Church, St. Stephen’s on the Green, and the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society (CVUUS). All events in the Middlebury Bach Festival, with the exception of the Saturday 8 p.m. and Sunday 3 p.m. concerts, are free and open to the public. For the Sunday afternoon concert at Mead Memorial Chapel, free parking is available along Old Chapel Road, Route 125/ College Street, and Hillcrest Road, with handicap-accessible parking reserved on Hepburn Road. The Mahaney Center for the Arts is located at 72 Porter Field Road in Middlebury, just off Route 30 south. Free parking is available.

Research at the Miner Institute in Chazy, NY conďŹ rms that this almost doubles yield and increases crude protein content by about 50%. Nitrogen fertilization now just about triples your crops’ value in only ďŹ ve to six weeks.

ing community and a critical mass of farmland goes hand in hand. We’re thrilled that the Harrisons decided to conserve their land and to make sure that it will be affordable to future farmers.� To complement other conservation efforts, several streams that feed into Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area will not be farmed; natural vegetation along the streams will filter nutrients, prevent erosion and provide wildlife habitat. Funding for the purchase of the conservation easement came from both state and federal sources. The Vermont Housing & Conservation Board’s contribution was matched by the federal Agricultural Conservation Easement Program managed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. The financial assistance from VHCB and NRCS help make it possible for Vermont to permanently protect Vermont’s highest quality agricultural resources.

Farm-to-scool numbers growing MONTPELIER — Vermont is in the farm-to-school spotlight once again this month as recently released Farm to School Census data ranks Vermont second in the nation in farmto-school engagement. With 78 percent of Vermont districts reporting, Vermont schools spent more than $1.5 million in local food in the 2013-2014 school year. The top three districts — Washington Central Supervisory Union, Burlington School District and Milton Town School District — spent a combined $168,000 on local food purchases, excluding fluid milk. The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Marketing attributed this continued national leadership to the Rozo McLaughlin Farm to School Act of 2006, which established the

Agency of Agriculture and Department of Health. Other census highlights include: • Vermont schools spent an average of 17 percent of their food budgets on local food. • Almost 100 percent of Vermont schools surveyed are buying local fruits and vegetables. • Vermont has 85 gardens at schools throughout the state. “Farm to School programs are an important tool to help students understand the value of nutrition, develop healthy eating habits, and appreciate where their food comes from, creating a culture of change in the classroom, cafeteria, and community,â€? said Agricultural Secretary Chuck Ross. “We are thrilled with the recent Farm to School census data. The results are an affirmation of the hard work undertaken by students, teachers and staff, farmers, community members and partner organizations throughout the state, as well as the support and commitment of Vermont legislators and the Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets.â€? Nationwide, schools report that farm to school programs can increase the number of students purchasing school breakfast and lunch, improve consumption of healthier foods at school, and reduce plate waste. The programs are also heavily focused on nutrition education, helping teach children where their food comes from and exposing them to lessons about healthy eating. The census data also showed that school gardens, which can be both teaching tools and a sources of fresh produce, have nearly tripled over the past two years. “We now have valuable data from schools on the local products they are buying, the gardens they are planting and the many methods they are using to teach children where their food comes from,â€? said Deborah Kane, Director, USDA Office of Community Food Systems. In order to establish realistic goals for national Farm to School initiatives, the USDA conducted the first nationwide Farm to School Census in 2013. In 2015, the USDA conducted a second census to measure progress against the goals established in 2013. Of the 18,000 public, private and charter school districts survey, approximately 70 percent (12,585 districts) responded. To view the full results, visit: https://farmtoschoolcensus.fns.usda.gov.

Poetry reading to feature local authors Margolis and Wright MIDDLEBURY — Local poets Gary Margolis and Nancy Means Wright will present their new collections of poetry at a book launch on Sunday, April 24, at 4:30 p.m. at the Middlebury Inn. Margolis will read from and sign his new collection, “Runner Without a Number.” These poems move from Gettysburg’s battlefield to the Boston Marathon, from Rome to Vermont, through the nuclear desert of Yucca Flats, Nev., and through love’s emotional seasons of joy and regret, desire and disappointment. They invite us to contemplate how we locate ourselves in nature and in the human heart, in our real and imagined, fragmented and whole stories. A poet, counselor, husband, father and grandfather, Margolis was a Robert Frost and Arthur
Vining Davis Fellow and has taught at the University of Tennessee, University of Vermont and Bread Loaf Writers’ conferences. His third book, “Fire in the Orchard,” was nominated for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. Wright will read from and sign “The Shady Sisters,” her new poetry collection that embodies the voices of two Vermont sisters of Scots-Irish heritage. The voices alternate to tell the sad-funny-traumatic stories of their lives. They address a woman’s desire to live a whole life, and the choices she has to make. They consider: Who and how do we love? What knocks us down? What keeps us going? Younger sister Fay survives a failed marriage and breast cancer; widow Ruth ends up with another woman, rejoices in a grandson’s birth, and worries: “Will a midwife
compass me out through the dark?” The author took inspiration (metaphorically) from poet Louise Glück: “Of two sisters one is always the watcher, (Ruth) / one the dancer (Fay).” Nancy Means Wright is also the author of several novels and nonfiction books. Her work has appeared in numerous anthologies and journals. She was a Bread Loaf Scholar for a first novel, and scholar for the Vermont Humanities Council. She has received an Agatha Award, and a fiction grant from the Society of Children’s Book Writers. A longtime teacher and actress, she lives in Middlebury. Refreshments will be served. There is plenty of parking available. Books will be available to purchase. For more information, contact Jenny Lyons at 802-388-2061 or jenny@vermontbookshop.com.

Q: A:
We are thinking of buying a house that is listed by a real estate agent. Do I need my own agent or can I negotiate a lower price or fee if I act as my own agent and just talk with the listing agent ? STOP! If you are asking a question like this, you should not be trying to “act as your own agent”. You need a buyer’s George Brewer agent to represent you. The seller’s agent will be representing the seller Managing Broker, Owner and will be working to get the highest price and best terms for the seller. Your buyers agent will in all likelihood be paid by the listing agency, so you should not have to worry about paying your agent. Your agent will be looking at the house with an experienced eye and should be able to advise you on all areas of the purchase and will work towards getting you the best price and the best contract conditions. Your buyers agents will advise you about the value of the house and neighborhood, financing, inspections and many, many other areas of a home purchase that are crucial to a wise buy. Your buyers agent should have special training, loads of experience, and expertise in working as a buyers agent. Find out what their qualifications are. Have they earned any of the designations available through the training institutes? Remember your new home may well be the most important and expensive investment you may ever make so you will want the best person you can find to guide you “home”. Addison County Real Estate and George Brewer wish to be your buyers agents. ABR ...... Accredited Buyer’s Representative® / ABR® CBR ...... Certified Buyers Representative CRB ......
