ID-Â4  budget  includes  new  Spanish  program   By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  ID-Â4  school  directors  are  seeking  voter  sup- port  for  a  2016-Â2017  Mary  Ho- gan  Elementary  School  budget  of  D SODQ WKDW UHĂ€HFWV D 9.08  percent  increase  in  spending,  but  a  much  smaller  1.44  percent  bump  in  the  homestead  education  property  tax  rate. And  Middlebury  school  directors  note  that  the  overall  education  prop- erty  tax  rate  for  local  students  in  grades  pre-ÂK  through  12  is  expected  to  decrease  by  4.08  percent,  due  in Â
part  to  a  substantial  increase  in  stu- dents  that  will  in  turn  net  the  com- munity  more  state  assistance. “I’m  really  happy  with  the  bud- get,â€?  ID-Â4  board  Chairwoman  Ruth  Hardy  said. The  proposed  ID-Â4  spending  plan  ² ZKLFK IRU WKH ÂżUVW WLPH WKLV \HDU will  be  decided  by  Australian  ballot  on  Town  Meeting  Day,  as  opposed  to  by  voice  vote  in  April  —  essen- WLDOO\ UHĂ€HFWV WKH VDPH DFDGHPLF programming  as  this  year,  with  a  few  notable  additions.

cludes  a  Spanish  language  teacher  for  grades  3  through  6.  ID-Â4  school  directors  have  for  the  past  several  years  tried  to  re-Âestablish  a  foreign  language  program  at  Mary  Hogan  Elementary,  but  the  expense  has  been  an  obstacle.  That  will  change  this  fall,  however,  as  the  salary  for  the  new  Spanish  instructor  will  be  offset  by  the  elimination  of  a  class- room  teaching  position  that  will  not  be  needed.  Principal  Tom  Buz- zell  explained  four  sections  of  this  year’s  second  grade  will  be  moving  into  three  sections  of  third  grade Â

Other  factors  affecting  the  pro- posed  2016-Â2017  ID-Â4  spending  plan  are  a  contracted  3-Âpercent  increase  in  teacher  salaries  and  a  7.9-Âpercent  hike  in  health  insurance  premiums.

The  saga  was  related  to  Jane  Beck  by  Daisy  Turner,  who  had  listened  to  her  father,  Alec  Turner,  recount  stories  of  the  family  past.  Her  captivating  narrative  covers  the  early  19th-Âcen- tury  British-ÂAfrican  trade,  shipwreck,  birth  of  a  biracial  child,  slave  trading,  enslavement,  plantation  life,  escape,  Civil  War,  moving  North,  battling Â

Beck  founded  the  Vermont  Folklife  Center  in  1983  and  served  as  its  ex- ecutive  director  for  more  than  three  decades.  The  “Daisy  Turner’s  Kinâ€?  program  is  based  on  the  material  Beck  presents  in  her  recent  book  of  the  same  name.  The  library  has  a  copy  of  her  book  available  to  check  out.  The  Vermont  Humanities  Council  is  sponsoring  the  program. Â
Barb  enthusiastically  supported  many  Maine  causes  and  was  an  avid  genealogist  and  family  historian.  In  later  years,  she  educated  herself  about  current  issues,  such  as  AIDS,  social  justice  and  white  privilege.  Barbara  is  survived  by  her  two  children,  Calvin  B.  Vinal  III  of  North  Branford,  Conn.,  and  Frances  Vinal  Farnsworth  of  Brandon,  Vt.  She  also  is  survived  by  seven  grand- children,  and  stepsons  Timothy  and  Christopher  Gent  and  their  families.

After  Buxton  opened  the  game  with  a  three,  VUHS  took  a  6-Â3  lead,  thanks  to  Salley  and  senior  guard  Sarah  Poirier-ÂThayer,  who  racked  up  six  points,  nine  rebounds  and  four  blocks.  The  pair  assisted  each  other  in  the  post,  and  then  Salley  hit  again  at  5:00  of  the  period.  But  all  the  Commodores  managed  over  the  next  7:00  were  two  free  throws  as  they  turned  the  ball  over  HLJKW WLPHV LQ WKH ÂżUVW SHULRG At  the  other  end,  Dunbar  scored  nine  points  in  a  Tiger  13-Â2  run,  with  forwards  Hannah  Buttolph  (a  put- back)  and  Riley  Fenster  (a  fast-Âbreak  layup  set  up  by  Dunbar)  adding  the  other  points.  Dunbar  capped  the  run  at  6:11  of  the  second  period  with  a  three-Âpoint  play  that  made  it  16-Â8.  Salley  broke  the  VUHS  drought  with  a  transition  basket  set  up  by  ju- nior  guard  Shay  Pouliot  at  5:25,  but  a  Dunbar  trey  gave  the  Tigers  a  game- high  nine-Âpoint  lead,  19-Â10,  at  4:00.  The  Commodores  fought  back,  and  could  have  made  it  closer  if  they  hit  free  throws.  While  holding  the  Tigers  scoreless,  they  made  two  of  six  from  the  line  while  getting  hoops  inside  from  Salley  and  Aunchman  to  make  it  19-Â16  at  the  half.  VERGENNES  UNION  HIGH  School  senior  Nikki  Salley,  left,  puts  up  two  of  her  16  points  against  Middlebury  Saturday.  Right,  Tiger  Sophomore  The  Commodores  continued  to  Keagan  Dunbar  puts  up  two  of  her  game-Âhigh  22  points  against  VUHS.  Middlebury  won  the  game,  43-Â35. attack  the  boards  in  the  third,  with  Independent  photos/Trent  Campbell p u t b a c k s  from  Poirier- just  three  of  seven  we’ve  got  to  get  over  that  hump.â€?

BILLY Billy  is  a  smart  girl  with  a  strong  personality!   She  comes  from  a  family  who  lost  their  home.    She  may  take  a  while  to  adjust  to  new  situations,  but  once  she  does,  she  is  a  sweetie.   Even  though  Billy  does  warm  up  to  people  after  she  comes  to  know  them,  she  is  fearful  in  close  quarters  and  under  restraint.   To  make  a  successful  match  for  Billy,  we  are  requiring  that  she  be  adopted  into  a  home  with  children 13 years and up who  can  understand  her  triggers. MACK & HARVICK 9.5  years,  Chocolate  Labs,  Neutered  Males.   Mack  and  Harvick  are  loving,  affectionate,  friendly  guys  who  just  love  to  snuggle!   They  have  lived  with  children  and  other  dogs,  and  while  they  haven’t  lived  with  cats  they  haven’t  shown  any  interest  in  the  cats  here  at  the  shelter.   Harvick  and  his  brother  Mack  were  surrendered  to  Homeward  Bound  because  they  kept  escaping  from  their  fenced  yard.   These  Houdini  in  the  making  are  looking  for  a  stage  to  call  their  own!

VCF (Continued  from  Page  22) from  almost  750  separate  philan- thropic  funds.  Those  funds  range  from  around  $10,000,  to  “tens  of  millions  of  dollars,â€?  according  to  Comstock-ÂGay. “That’s  a  huge  accomplishment  and,  to  my  way  of  thinking,  it’s  not  just  about  grants,  but  how  we  deploy  resources  to  make  a  difference,â€?  Comstock-ÂGay  said.  “I  am  very  hap- py  about  that.â€? And  the  VCF,  Comstock-ÂGay  ex- plained,  is  not  just  concerned  about  the  assets  it  manages.  Of  equal  im- portance,  he  said,  is  the  impact  those  funds  are  having  within  the  commu- nity.  He  explained  that  in  addition  to  giving  outright  grants,  the  VCF  directly  supports  initiatives  —  such  as  anti-Âsmoking  programs. “People  will  ask  how  many  grants  we  put  out,â€?  he  said.  “But  it’s  about  how  much  money  is  at  work.â€? Comstock-ÂGay  is  proud  of  the  VCF’s  strong  ties  to  the  state  in  which  it  is  located. “Everyone  who  is  invested  here  has  a  Vermont  connection,â€?  Com- stock-ÂGay  said.  Donors  include  part-Âtime  residents,  out-Âof-Âstaters  ZKR KDYH DQ DIÂżQLW\ IRU WKH *UHHQ Mountain  State,  businesses,  lifelong  Vermonters,  families  and  just  about  HYHU\ SURÂżOH RQH FDQ WKLQN RI “Our  goal  is  to  increase  philan- thropy  in  the  state  of  Vermont  and  to  help  philanthropists  make  Vermont  a  great  place,â€?  Comstock-ÂGay  said. BASED  IN  MIDDLEBURY The  Vermont  Community  Founda- tion,  with  headquarters  on  Middle- bury’s  Court  Square,  has  become  a  thriving  organization. “We  are  in  an  interesting  posi- tion;Íž  we  are  a  statewide  organi- zation,  but  our  home  is  here  in  Middlebury,â€?  Comstock-ÂGay  said.  “It  has  been  a  good  home  for  us.  Middlebury  is  a  place  that  people Â
regard  highly  through- returns  on  the  philan- out  the  state.  We  do  “It’s not just thropic  dollars  it  over- value  our  relationship  about grants, sees,  and  an  investment  with  the  town;Íž  we  try  to  but how committee  also  weighs  be  a  good  neighbor  and  LQ RQ VSHFLÂżF LQYHVW- employer,  and  we  think  we deploy ments. we  are.  This  is  an  excel- resources “We  are  in  it  for  the  lent  place  for  us  to  be.â€? to make a long  haul,â€?  Comstock- The  VCF  has  also  difference.â€?

trust  for  the  state  of  Vermont.â€? He  believes  the  VCF  will  contin- ue  to  evolve  with  trends  in  philan- thropy.  Comstock-ÂGay  noted  there  have  been  some  major  changes  during  the  past  few  decades  in  the  way  people  have  donated  to  char- ity.  They  aren’t  as  likely  to  simply  cut  an  annual  check  to  a  single  non- SURÂżW DQG VWHS DZD\ KH VDLG “Nationally,  as  businesses  move  to  different  places,  you  lose  linch- pin  donors  for  a  lot  of  things,â€?  Comstock-ÂGay  said.  “Businesses  give  differently,  and  people  at- tached  to  those  businesses  give  dif- ferently.  People  have  options;Íž  they Â

And  increasingly,  people  want  to  see  their  donations  at  work. “People  want  to  know  what  is  go- ing  to  happen  and  they  want  to  see  outcomes,â€?  Comstock-ÂGay  said,  referring  to  Vermont  as  an  “incred- ibly  engagedâ€?  state. “It  has  made  all  of  us  in  the  social  VHUYLFH VRFLDO SURÂżW FHQWHU EHFRPH much  more  intentional  and  thought- ful  about  the  impact  (donations)  will  make.â€?

What  local  taxpayers  will  see  if  the  new  districts  are  approved  is  a  lower  tax  rate.  Districts  that  con- solidate  and  are  voter-Âapproved  by  2017  will  see  8  cents  off  the  local  VFKRRO WD[ WKH ÂżUVW \HDU FHQWV RII the  second  year,  4  cents  off  the  third  year,  and  2  cents  off  the  fourth  and  ¿QDO \HDU EHFDXVH LW LV D ÂłVLGH E\ VLGH´ XQLÂżFDWLRQ SODQ WKH WD[ EHQ- HÂżWV DUH VOLJKWO\ OHVV VZHHW WKDQ WKH XQLÂżFDWLRQ SODQV XS IRU YRWH 0DUFK ÂżUVW LQ WZR $GGLVRQ &RXQW\ GLV- tricts).  In  the  Brandon-Âarea  schools,  the  approved  districts  will  also  con- tinue  to  receive  annual  $200,000  Small  School  grants  until  2020,  as  well  as  $130,000  in  state  merger  funding  if  consolidation  begins  by  July  2016. The  difference  is  that  all  elemen- tary  school  students  throughout  the  new  OVUU  district  would  then  have  school  choice,  which  could  increase  student  populations  at  the  smaller  schools  like  Sudbury,  Whit- ing  and  Leicester.  If  any  of  those  schools  continue  to  see  a  drop  in  en- rollment,  in  four  years,  the  OVUU  Board,  not  the  state,  could  vote  to  close  the  school  with  a  two-Âthirds  majority  vote. On  Jan.  19,  voters  in  all  towns  will  also  elect  that  13-Âmember  OVUU  board  and  a  four-Âmember  Barstow  District  Board  to  oversee  the  new  districts.  While  the  number  of  board  representatives  a  town  re- ceives  is  based  on  population,  there  are  also  four  “at-Âlargeâ€?  board  seats  weighted  equally  to  the  town  seats.

PAGE 32 — Addison Independent, Monday, January 18, 2016
Back in time DURING THE FALL and early winter, students in Jake Burnham’s advanced STEM class, above, at the Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury worked with Vergennes boatbuilder Douglas Brooks, below, to document and replicate two trapping boats found in Addison County. The students held an open house last Friday morning and Earl Bessette, right, of New Haven, who built one of the original boats in the early 1950s, was on hand to admire the students’ work.
