A tangle of anglers So what do you call a collection of similar creatures? For most common animals you probably know. Wolves, coyotes and dogs gather in packs. Unless they are newborns, in which case we have a litter. There are prides of lions and broods of chickens. A gathering of sheep is called a flock. So is a gathering of geese. Unless they are flying, in which case they are called a skein. Or if they are grounded they can be called a gaggle. Cattle, of course, gather in a herd. A collection of goats can likewise be called a herd, but also a tribe. The group of crows that wake you on a summer morning is, appropriately, a murder. Not to be confused with a parliament of owls, a charm of finches, or a flight of swallows, which might also wake you up. Some names are not quite as well known. A group of grasshoppers is apparently called a cloud. Ferrets gather in a business, while two or more otters together — as anybody who has ever watched otters knows — are a romp. Lemurs, like crooked politicians, form a conspiracy. Several hippopotamuses together form a thunder. Though from what I have read about how ornery they are, one hippopotamus would be enough to get me thundering away as fast as I could. There doesn’t seem to be a name for a collection of skunks, probably because skunks never actually collect. And can you blame them? A collection of fish is called a school, though that may be a corruption of an earlier term, shoal. But not all fish. A group of salmon can be called a run, while a collection of barracudas is called a battery. A group of trout is called a hover. And if you have a hover of trout, there’s probably a group of anglers trying to catch them. But what do you call that group? If a group of anglers gathers riverside for a coffee break and leans its rods together against a tree, or places them in proximity in the back of the car, when they return they will have a tangle of rods. That may also be a good name for the gathering of anglers — although noise and story are reasonable alternatives. On Sunday evening I was in a lively tangle of young anglers who have recently resurrected the fly-fishing club at Middlebury College. Several years ago the club was active, organizing fishing trips, fly-casting and fly-tying clinics, conservation events, and talks. But at some point the club fizzled from lack of participa(See Dickerson, Page 3B)

Panther women work OT to win league crown NCAA home tilt next on Saturday By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College women’s hockey team defeated Amherst, 5-4, in overtime on Sunday in the NESCAC final at Kenyon Arena, and as a result the Panthers will host UMass-Boston in a firstround NCAA Division III tournament game this coming Saturday at 4 p.m. The Panthers improved to 20-4-3 when sophomore Maddie Winslow rapped home a pass from classmate Jessica Young at 6:37 in Sunday’s extra session. The UMass-Boston squad that will come to Middlebury this weekend has a 16-12 record and a hot goalie, Rachel Myette. Myette made 35 saves as the Beacons shocked Norwich in the New England Hockey Conference final, 2-0; stopped 23 of 24 shots as UMB upset Castleton in the semifinal, 2-1 in overtime; and earned a 21-save shutout vs. Manhattanville in a 4-0 quarterfinal. If the sixth-ranked Panthers advance, they will face either No. 1 Plattsburgh (26-1) or No. 4 Amherst (21-2-3) in an NCAA semifinal at a site to be determined next weekend. The Panthers, who skate a dozen freshmen and sophomores in key roles, are 15-1 in their past 16 games and undefeated in NESCAC play despite adversity. They lost All-American defender Carly Watson for the season back on Dec. 5; got valuable senior forward

The best of boys’ hoop in 2016 Four local schools represented on Independent squad By ANDY KIRKALDY ADDISON COUNTY — Although probably none of the area high school boys’ basketball teams will look back at this winter as memorable, the intermural competition among them often was; they seemed to bring out the best from each other, with 10 of their collective 18 wins coming locally, often in close games. Mount Abraham nearly toppled Middlebury, while Otter Valley did upset the Tigers, played well against Vergennes and looked good defeating Mount Abe. Vergennes coasted vs. the Eagles, but both times the Commodores and Tigers met produced competitive games that came down to the final minute, with each team Selections were made triumphing once.

First-year Coach Kyle Lussier’s Middlebury squad finished strong, winning three of their final four regular-season games to finish with six wins, including a 3-2 mark locally. Two Tigers are also recognized here. Coach Greg Hughes’ Otters won four times, but were also competitive in a number of other games, falling three times by either one or two points to highly rated teams. OV also went 3-1 vs. Addison County foes. A three-year Otter varsity player made this team for the first time.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Amherst on Saturday defeated the Middlebury College men’s hockey team, 4-2, in a NESCAC semifinal played at Trinity. The sixth-seeded Purple & White improved to 12-11-4 by avenging two regular-season defeats to Middlebury, but lost to host Trinity in the final on Sunday. The fifth-seeded Panthers finished at 8-11-7 under first-year Coach Neil Sinclair and failed in their quest to return to the final for the first time since 2012. Amherst’s John Festa opened the scoring, netting his first goal of the

season right before the nine-minute mark. Festa scooped up a loose puck near center ice before deking around a Middlebury defender and slotting a low wrist shot into the bottom corner. Panther goalkeeper Liam Moorfield-Yee recorded nine of his 20 saves in the opening period. The Panthers forced their way into the Amherst zone early and often in the second period and nearly capitalized on a power play, but Amherst goalie Connor Girard (26 saves) came up with a number of (See Hockey, Page 2B)

Four minutes into the third period, Amherst extended its lead to 3-0 when Patrick Arena batted in an airborne pass from Brendan Burke. The Panthers cut into the deficit when Mike Najjar netted his fourth

goal of the season just after the midway mark in the period. Najjar collected a pass from Brendan McGovern, before slotting a longrange shot past Girard at 11:54. Amherst added an insurance goal when Festa put home an empty-net goal with 3:15 remaining. The Panthersâ€™ Max Greenwald picked up his own rebound and muscled in a late goal to close the gap with 52 seconds left.

MIDDLEBURY â€” The Middlebury College menâ€™s lacrosse team opened the season by winning a NESCAC game at home and a nonleague contest on the road. The Panthers are ranked No. 7 in NCAA Division III and face a challenge on Saturday, when top-ranked Tufts will visit at 2 p.m. On this past Saturday, Middlebury goalkeeper Will Ernst made a dozen saves to lead the Panthers to a 5-4 win over visiting Connecticut College in the season opener for both teams. Middlebury has now won 11 straight at home; the team went 10-0 at Alumni Stadium a year ago. After a scoreless first quarter, the Camels took a 1-0 lead at 13:10 of the second when Ross Thompson scored from 12 yards out. Middlebury answered less than three min-

(Continued from Page 1B) time, Mandigo said they are unusually tough. “It’s character, it’s being able to hang in there. It’s resilience. It’s all those words that we talk about all the time, but it’s strength of character. And they did a great job,” said Mandigo, just before his happy players dumped a bucket of water on him and chanted, “Coach of the year.” For the coach, the victory was special another way. His daughter Katie scored twice in Sunday’s first period to spark the Panthers to that 3-0 lead. Katie Mandigo and her classmates, defender and co-captain Julia Wardwell, forwards Anna Van Kula and Micaela Thibault, and goalie Marisa Dreher, all earned their first championship. “I’m happy for the seniors. It’s their first banner. They get to hang a banner in the rink. And it’s especially pleasing when your daughter is a senior,” Coach Mandigo said. “It’s something she wanted. She’s watched enough of the things that have gone on around here all these years, so it’s really satisfying for me as a dad to see her really happy.” AMHERST GAME Katie Mandigo’s first goal game on the Panthers’ first shot. It came 38 seconds into the game from the left wing circle, and it trickled between Amherst goalie Sabrina Dobbins’ pads. Wardwell picked up the assist. At 3:01 it was 2-0 with a goal that possibly only the officials believed entered the Amherst net. Young shot from the high slot as an Amherst player crashed into Dobbins, dislodging the net from its moorings. After the officials conferred, the surprised Panthers celebrated, the marker went up on the scoreboard, and Winslow and Jennings got assists on a score credited to Young.

(Continued from Page 1B) tion and new leadership. It remained defunct for several years. This past fall, I was delighted to find a group of enthusiastic students eager to restart the group. Sunday was our first fly-tying gathering. I taught a few basic principles and then step-by-step instructions to tie up a simple pattern. A half-dozen aspiring fly-tiers followed along while a few others with previous experience provided one-on-one tutoring. When we were done everybody had a more-orless useable fly. We also had an hour of enjoyable conversation, getting to know each other and making plans for future gatherings — and especially for getting out on the water and casting flies. Based on the level of energy and enthusiasm that evening, I have a lot of confidence that this will, indeed, be a new tangle that will last for some time. On Tuesday evening I took part in another tangle — or a story, or a noise — of anglers: the monthly gathering of the New Haven River Anglers at the Swift House. That is, it’s monthly, except that for the past three months it hasn’t actually met. For four years the club has been led by president Jesse Haller from the Middlebury Mountaineer. With his arrival in town eight years ago, he brought in tremendous energy to the NHRAA, spearheading activities like the annual Fly Fishing Film Tour and the Otter Creek Classic fishing tournament and helping rejuvenate other longstanding activities in conservation and education. He brought so much energy that club members had come to rely on him to do everything. So when he moved on to a job in product development at Orvis at the start of the winter, there was a

turned away several shots in the period, notably by Caroline Bomstein, Alex Toupal and Sara Culhane. There was no doubt on the third Panther goal, at 13:45. Mandigo ripped a rocket into the upper right corner from about 20 feet out after taking a Shanna Hickman pass from the left side. Amherst cut it to 3-1 with a shorthanded goal from Culhane at 16:58. With Jennings hurt and heading off the ice, Culhane won a battle for the puck in the Panther zone and scored on a wraparound. In the second period, Amherst scored three times to take the lead. Bomstein’s shot from right point at 6:36 found the near side of the net through traffic. Two minutes later, Katelyn Pantera’s screened shot to the high slot broke in off Neuburger’s glove. At 12:59, Culhane won the puck behind the Panther net and tossed it out front; it banked in off Neuburger to make it 4-3. Panther sophomore Janka Hlinka responded 2:01 later. Sophomore defender Audrey Quirk shot from the outside of the right circle, and Hlinka deflected it past Dobbins (21 saves). Early in the third, Neuburger stopped Culhane on a two-on-none break. The

Panthers created some pressure late, but Amherst came within inches of winning in the final 25 seconds, when Eileen Harris’s rebound bid stopped flush on edge against the left post before the Panthers cleared. In overtime, Dobbins denied Young’s point-blank bid on an early power play, and a Quirk bomb from the right point clipped the left post. At the other end, Neuburger (31 saves) flashed her left pad to stone Culhane from the slot. Then Young gathered her own rebound in the left corner and fed Winslow for the game-winning one-timer at the far post. Winslow rapped the puck high back inside the left post. Winslow said the Panthers never doubted the outcome. “We knew there were going to be ups. We knew there were going to be downs. Coach Mandigo told us that,” Winslow said. “We never thought we weren’t going to win that. We knew the whole time. It took a little longer than we thought, but we got it done.” TRINITY GAME In Saturday’s semifinal at Kenyon, the Panthers defeated Trinity, 3-1. The 15-9-2 Bantams scored on a power play with 12 seconds to go in the

opening period, on Emma Tani’s endto-end rush. At 8:57 of the second period the Panthers pulled even on a power play. Jenna Marotta netted her first career goal, a shot from the right point, with Wardwell assisting. At 16:59 of the second, Winslow netted the game-winner on another power play, with Wardwell assisting again. Young added an empty netter, but not before Neuburger (21 saves) made key stops in the late going. Trinity goalie Sydney Belinskas stopped 19 shots. Overall, Coach Mandigo credited Wardwell and junior defender Victoria Laven for their poise and leadership on and off the ice in helping the Panthers overcome the obstacles in their path to become what he called “a special, tight-knit group.” “They’re back there with those young kids,” he said. “Those two had to step up and play better.” Now the Panthers will see if their ride can go a little further. “We’re taking it week by week. We were playing for another week, and that’s what we got,” Winslow said. “So hopefully we have many more.”

Lacrosse (Continued from Page 1B) ing half of action for the Camels. Pascal put the Panthers on top 1:26 into regulation. O’Connell made passes from behind the cage to assist Pascal and Sciarretta for the next two scores. Middlebury built a 5-0 lead when Pascal netted her third goal of the half with 18:44 to go. The Camels answered with the

sudden vacuum. At Tuesday’s meeting, 40 members gathered, and — led by Jesse — talked about what made the club special and what they most wanted to see it continue to do over the next several years. Three themes in particular kept reemerging. Folks were interested in conservation and education efforts to help preserve and improve a healthy local river. They were interested in building up the existing community of NHRAA anglers through events, gatherings and opportunities for socializing and sharing of experiences such as fly-tying nights and guest speakers. And they were interested in reaching out to welcome the broader community — especially youth and folks new to fishing or new to the area — to the delight and passion of angling in our favorite local rivers. As 40 people, one at a time, shared their ideas, palpable energy built in the room. Before 90 minutes had passed, the group had elected a whole new slate of officers led by new president Wes Butler, had collected a sheet of volunteers for various committees, and had a plan for moving forward. The gathering had once again become a tangle — or at least a noise. As the newly elected president said, now we can continue to do what we have always done: gather together and tell stories. Which is to say, in the great tradition of fishing, lies. (To read about other names of animal groups, these are useful and entertaining sites: www.thealmightyguru.com/Pointless/AnimalGroups. html, and www.mnn.com/earth-matters/ animals/blogs/99-strange-collectiveanimal-names. Sadly, they contain nothing that defines a gathering of anglers.)

School News Briefs

next two goals to trim the deficit to 5-2 with 8:27 to go in the opening half. Middlebury responded by scoring the final seven goals of the half and the first three of the second half before the Camels netted four of the final six scores to make it a 17-6 final. On Tuesday, the Panthers coasted past host Rensselaer (1-1) by a 17-5

margin. Middlebury went on a 6-1 run to close the first half and lead at the break, 10-3, and added to the advantage in the second half. Chrissy Ritter had three goals and an assist to lead Middlebury, while Mary O’Connell tallied two goals and assisted on two others. Instrum had two scores and one helper, Pascal won six draws, while Maggie Caputi

caused three turnovers in the win. The Panthers posted a 28-12 edge in shots, including 12-3 in the second half. RPI had 25 ground balls to Middlebury’s 14. Draw controls went to Middlebury, 16-8. Furber made five saves for the Panthers, while three keepers combined to make eight stops for the Engineers.

State troopers investigate vehicle crashes ADDISON COUNTY — Two Addison County men were each recently injured in separate motor vehicle crashes in which Vermont State Police say they may have fallen asleep behind the wheel. First, on Feb. 25 at around 5 a.m. troopers responded to a crash on Shackett Road in Leicester. Police report that on that foggy morning, when the road was wet and muddy, 29-year-old Nathan Hansen was driving a 2003 Subaru station wagon southbound on Shackett Road when he “possibly fell asleep.” The vehicle traveled off the right side of the road and crashed into a large tree, causing massive damage to the undercarriage and front end of the car. Hansen was incapacitated by multiple fractures to his face, legs and pelvis. He was transported to Rutland Regional Medical Center and then on to DartmouthHitchcock Regional Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H. No court action was expected in this case. Separately, on the morning of March 3, state police, along with the Bridport Fire Department and Middlebury Regional EMS,

responded to a 9:30 a.m. report of a single-vehicle crash on Route 22A in Addison. Witnesses reported that a 2008 Nissan Frontier pickup truck was traveling northbound when it crossed over the centerline and continued into a field, ultimately hitting a large tree. The driver, identified as 39-year-old Jason Breault of Shelburne, reportedly fell asleep while driving, police reported When Breault struck the tree, he became entrapped in the vehicle. Bridport Fire Department and Middlebury Fire Department Heavy Rescue extricated Breault from the vehicle and MREMS transported him to UVM Medical Center to be treated for a wrist fracture and leg pain. The trooper said her investigation determined that Breault was negligent in the operation of his vehicle and cited him for negligent driving. A third recent traffic crash also resulted in serious injury, though police did not cite sleepiness as a factor. On Feb. 29 at approximately

1:27 p.m. responded to the report of a one-car crash on Route 30 in Cornwall. Upon arrival, they found that the female driver was in the process of being transported to Porter Hospital and was unable to be interviewed. They identiﬁed her as 17-year-old Alya Christensen of Shoreham. The troopers’ preliminary investigation showed that prior to the crash, Christensen was driving northbound on Route 30 at an unknown speed when she travelled left of center, subsequently striking a tree adjacent to the west side of the southbound lane. The weather was reported to be clear and the road dry. The vehicle was totaled as a result of the collision and Christensen sustained severe injuries, including to both legs, as well a minor head injury, according to state police. The case remains under investigation. In other recent activity, Vermont State Police: • On Feb. 26 at approximately

Vt. State

Police Log

6:54 a.m. received a report of a one-car crash on Bristol Road in Monkton. Cale Roberge, 27, of Underhill told the trooper that he was driving a 1999 Suzuki GVT northbound on Bristol Road at approximately 40 mph when he crested a hill, saw another vehicle stopped in the roadway and began to brake. The Suzuki reportedly began to slide on the slush-covered road and, in an effort to avoid a collision with the other vehicle, Roberge steered his car off the road, subsequently ending up in a ditch. No one was injured, but the Suzuki sustained major damage. State police do not believe alcohol or drugs played a factor in the crash. • On March 1 reported a citation issued in a case stemming from a crash a month earlier. State police said that on Feb. 5 at around 8:30 p.m. Nicholas J. Jennings, 34, of Bristol was driving a motor vehicle that crashed on Quaker Street in Lincoln. Jennings was transported to UVM Medical Center with incapacitating facial injuries. The trooper suspected that Jennings was impaired by alcohol, and took a sample of Jennings’ blood as evidence. On March 1, after receiving results back from the Vermont Forensic Laboratory, Cpl. Andrew Leise cited Jennings for driving under the influence, and also gave him a ticket for failing to maintain control of his vehicle. • On March 4 at approximately 10:21 p.m. stopped a motor vehicle on Route 7 in Middlebury. Police ended up citing the driver, identified as 38-year-old Shannon Gilmore-Manning of Ripton, for driving under the influence of alcohol. The trooper said her blood alcohol content was measured to be 0.109 at roadside; the legal limit for driving is 0.08. • On March 5 attempted to stop a vehicle after observing a traffic violation on Case Street in East Middlebury. The vehicle failed to stop and continued onto Leno Lane North in East Middlebury and pulled into a private driveway. Trooper Eden Neary talked with the driver, identified as 19-year-old Brandon Yandow of Middlebury and/or Ripton, took Yandow into custody and cited him for attempting to elude a police officer, driving under the influence (second offense), driving with a criminally suspended license and violating his conditions of release. The trooper said Yandow refused to give a preliminary breath test at roadside. Yandow was lodged at Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility for lack of $500 bail. • On March 8 began investigating a one-car vehicle crash that occurred that morning at around 8:30 a.m. The vehicle involved, a black 1995 Mazda Miata, was traveling southbound on Route 116 in Starksboro when it traveled across the northbound lane into the ditch and struck a culvert. Driver Ernie Brouillard, 19, of Bristol was wearing his seatbelt and received minor facial injuries from the airbag deployment. Police are attempting to locate witnesses to the crash.

Authors Alvarez and Danticat to talk at college MIDDLEBURY — Two important contemporary authors will share the stage in an evening of conversation at Middlebury College on Wednesday, March 16, at 7 p.m. in Dana Auditorium. In an event titled “Scheherazade’s Sisters,” Middlebury alumna and 2013 Medal of Arts winner Julia Alvarez and acclaimed Haitian-American author Edwidge Danticat. will discuss a variety of topics including the art and power of storytelling across different geographical landscapes, cross-culturally and transnationally, feminism, and their collaboration in organizations such as Border of Lights. The discussion is free and open to the public. “This is a rare and wonderful opportunity for our community to hear from — and engage with — two distinguished

writers who have done so much to shape our thinking about storytelling, cultural identity, feminism, and many other topics,” said Darién J. Davis, professor of history and one of the event’s organizers. “These two authors offer the opportunity to think through the ways in which migration and the mobility of peoples have helped cultivate new communities, new creative energies, and new forms of solidarity,” added Sujata Moorti, professor of gender, sexuality and feminist studies. “They have simultaneously enlivened the stories that circulate in contemporary U.S. culture.” Alvarez, a native of the Dominican Republic, earned her bachelor’s degree at Middlebury in 1971. She is the author of numerous books, including the acclaimed “How The García Girls

Lost Their Accents” and “In the Time of the Butterﬂies,” and the nonﬁction book “A Wedding in Haiti: The Story of a Friendship.” Alvarez joined the Middlebury English department faculty in 1988 and was made full professor in 1996. In 1998, she gave up her tenured post to focus on writing, but has maintained a relationship with the college as writer in residence. She plans to retire this spring. Edwidge Danticat is a recipient of the American Book Award for “The Farming of Bones” (1999), the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Brother, I’m Dying” (2007), and a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship in 2009. She is a graduate of Barnard College and earned her MFA at Brown University. Danticat’s critically acclaimed works also include “Breath, Eyes, Memory,” “Krik? Krak!”

“The Dew Breaker,” and a collection of essays titled “Create Dangerously: The Immigrant Artist at Work.” Her picture book, “Mama’s Nightingale,” and a young adult novel, “Untwine,” were both published in 2015. “I am a generation ahead of Edwidge Danticat, though I feel a sense of continuity with her,” said Alvarez. “Edwidge is one of the great American writers, on a par with Toni Morrison. She conceptualizes America as a hemisphere, rather than just the United States. She will connect with our students who are addressing injustices so vocally at this moment and are forcing the institution to look at the issue of diversity.” Edwidge Danticat will read from her work and the two authors will follow with a discussion. The event is free and open to the public.

Learn about shelter belt plantings in New Haven NEW HAVEN — Meghan Giroux, owner and director of Vermont Edible Landscapes, will present “Creating a Shelter Belt” at the New Haven Town Ofﬁce on Thursday, March 17, at 7 p.m. The event is part of the New Haven Conservation Commission’s Armchair Naturalist

Series. Planted as early as the 1930s, shelter belt plantings serve multiple functions, such as erosion control; protection of crops and livestock; odor control for manure pits, lagoons and swine operations; and as edible hedges. Giroux will talk about how

to plan, plant and maintain shelter belt plantings, and will discuss their sustainability. Giroux is a native Vermonter with a passion for her home state. She works alongside landowners and farmers to protect and enhance their natural resources. Her business is

solely focused on growing perennial plants that sequester carbon and produce food, fodder or medicine. The Armchair Naturalist Speaker Series is held in the fall and winter. Admission is free. For more information, email percival@madriver. com. “ALMA BUTTERFLY” BY Karla Van Vliet is part of a new exhibit, titled “Disclosures: Coming Out of Obscurity,” at the Town Hall Theater’s Jackson Gallery. The exhibit of works by Van Vliet and Lily Hinrichsen opens Friday, March 11; an artists’ reception is on Friday, March 25, from 5-7 p.m.

Local artists open up with THT ‘Disclosures’ exhibit MIDDLEBURY — In “Disclosures: Coming Out of Obscurity,” Lily Hinrichsen and Karla Van Vliet bring to light parts of their past, which have lived in darkness and obscurity, through the strength and delicacy of their assemblages, works on paper and mixed media. The exhibit runs March 11-May 7 at the Jackson Gallery at Town Hall Theater in Middlebury, with an opening reception on Friday, March 25, from 5-7 p.m. Hinrichsen’s 3D pieces, or assemblages, are a manifestation of the rich and nocturnal world of her dreams and her journal writings. “While I communicate my story and identity through a variety of mediums, I chose repurposed containers and materials as I’ve always found delight and fascination in the miniature. It feels like a deep, childlike curiosity being realized.”

Super supper NORTH FERRISBURGH UNITED Methodist Church youth made a meal for the Ronald McDonald House in Burlington recently, thanks to funds raised by their annual “Souper Bowl” offering taken at church on Super Bowl Sunday. Pictured are in the front row, from left, Megan Devos, Sophie Wolak and Megan McIntyre; and back row, from left, Antonio Socinski, Erich Reitz, Jonathan DeVos and Katelyn McIntyre. Other youth from the church were serving the same night at the Free Community Meal at the Vergennes Congregational Church, a joint effort by the Congregational Church, North Ferrisburgh UMC, Vergennes UMC, St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s

Van Vliet uses bits of thread, cloth, reed mat and specialty papers, incorporating layered acrylic color and a variety of inks. These pieces from her “Alma” (the soul) series emerged from a desire to work with the female face that kept arising in her art. “The miniature portraits arrived, each with her own expression, her own selfness like dream images asserting themselves onto the page. I follow a desire to memorialize these female images, creating an atmosphere of depth and history and mystery.” The Jackson Gallery is located in the lower level of Town Hall Theater, a community and cultural venue located in the center of Middlebury. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, noon to ﬁve, and an hour before any public events in the building. For further information, call 802-382-9222 or consult the website, www.townhalltheater.org.

Q: A:

What is the minimum credit score I need to be eligible to buy a house and what can I do to improve my credit score?

There is no “magic” number for a credit score required to purchase a home as the requirements on credit Samantha Galvin scores vary depending on the type of home loan you are going to be using. It is however, considered in all lending decisions. The first step to working on your credit is to look at your credit report. Address all negative factors affecting your credit. If there are mistakes, challenge them to get them removed. If there is an old charge on there weighing your score down, work to pay it off. I know it is not always that simple, but most creditors will work with you to set up a payment plan to get the debt paid over time. If you simply don’t have credit, look into a secure credit card or credit builder loan. Your financial institution can provide more information. Purchasing a home may be one of the largest financial investments you’ll ever make. So, whether you need to sell, wish to buy, or just have a question about real estate call a professional, call Samantha Galvin.
