MUHS boys get kick out of building new dugouts

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School boys’ varsity soccer team is in the business of scoring goals.

But this year’s team wants to achieve an extra goal that doesn’t involve booting a soccer ball into the back of the net.

The squad and a dedicated group of adult volunteers have set a goal of equipping Fucile Field with two dugouts to accommodate home and visiting teams for soccer and lacrosse contests. And the studentathletes-turned-novice-carpenters are seeking donations to defray the costs of the lumber and other materials used in making the dugouts.

Former MUHS boys’ varsity soccer Coach Brett Weekes had planned to spearhead construction of the dugouts with the Eagle Scouts he led a few years ago. But he and his family somewhat unexpectedly relocated to Utah.

So it was looking like the soccer and lacrosse teams were going to have to spend yet another year with no dry place in which to stow their (See Dugouts, Page 19)

By GAEN MURPHREE FERRISBURGH — The Newell family has a lot riding on an upcoming spaghetti dinner later this month.

Joanne Newell, 62, was diagnosed 12 years ago with pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, a rare lung disease that causes organ deterioration. Now the damage is so extensive that a double lung transplant is necessary.

And the Ferrisburgh resident is about to complete yet another battery of tests to put her in line for double lung transplant surgery at Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital.

Newell and her family also have another task ahead of them: Fundraising.

That’s where the spaghetti dinner comes in. The Oct. 22 meal at the Bristol American Legion will be a (See Transplant, Page 22)

One-man shop sets benchmark for Windsor chairs Waltham woodworker goes nationwide after innovation

By ANDY KIRKALDY WALTHAM — Maybe Waltham’s Timothy Clark was destined to be a woodworker, even though back in his Middlebury College days he started as a PreMed major before earning a degree in Spanish, with a minor in Art, in 1985.

But he recalled the impression Colonial Williamsburg “There’s made on him during a visit to not a lot of Virginia from his hometown of New Hartford, N.Y., near competition Utica. in modern “A major influence was a Windsors. trip to Williamsburg in 7th I’ve found a grade, when I saw the craftsmen there making furniture niche.”

Even his chosen medical pursuit, orthopedic surgery, had involved working with his hands, but during Clark’s college years his mind began to change: He didn’t want to give up his other interests — such as language, art, biking, sailing and woodworking — in service to medicine.

Bristol sets hearing on pro-growth zoning laws

Middlebury grad to read from new novel Tough campus issues focus of book

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — Maria Padian holds fond memories of her undergraduate studies at Middlebury College, during which she attended the Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference in Ripton.

“There I was, this 21-year-old student, surrounded by all these grown-up, professional writers,” she recalled in an autobiographical message on her website, mariapadian.com. “And ‘ouch,’ were they honest; brutal, actually.”

But as Padian put it during a recent phone interview from her home in Brunswick, Maine, “I came to Middlebury determined I would become a writer.”

Mission accomplished.

Thirty-three years after graduated from Middlebury, Padian has penned four books. And her latest, a novel titled “Wrecked,” paints a mythical campus backdrop that many Middlebury College graduates might find familiar. And while the protagonists are also fictional, readers will find in “Wrecked” a tragically familiar topic: a sexual assault at an institution of higher learning.

Padian returns to Middlebury this week for an appearance at the Vermont Book Shop on Thursday, Oct. 6, at 6:30 p.m., during which she will read from “Wrecked” and sign copies of her new tome. “Wrecked” has already garnered some very positive reviews for its treatment of the hot-button issue of sexual assault on college campuses. The novel dramatizes the difficulty in reaching closure and finding justice when colleges — whose interests might not be the same as the victim’s — take on questions of guilt and punishment, according to synopsis of the brisk, 357-page read that is geared particularly to young adults.

The story revolves around Jenny, a college freshman who accuses another student, Jordon, of raping her after a party they attended. Their

friends, fellow students, college officials and the greater community arrive at their own conclusions about the allegations in the search for truth and justice.

It is that broader discussion that particularly interested Padian, as a writer.

“I was trying to write a novel that wasn’t about sexual assault, per se,” she said. “It was about the culture that students are navigating on campus. I think it’s about consent, communication, and how we as a community respond to these situations and accusations.”

Padian drew inspiration from the play “Doubt,” which explores allegations of sexual misconduct by a priest. The audience is intentionally left with varying interpretations about whether the priest is guilty of a crime.

“It made a big impression on me,” Padian said of the play. “As a MARIA PADIAN writer, I was drawn to try to dramatize something so we would see all these different characters respond- in her book to be a “fairly typical there has been a shift, culturally, ing to a story in a variety of differ- college freshman who is trying to throughout the country — and it’s ent ways.” figure out where she fits in.

By GAEN MURPHREE BRISTOL — The Bristol Planning Commission is seeking feedback from Bristol residents on its proposed changes to town zoning that aim to increase development to build a bigger tax base. It will explain the changes and take feedback in a hearing Tuesday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m., in the town offices at Holley Hall.

“We want to be able to answer questions about the updates we are proposing, explain the highlights, and take testimony in order to convey the best version of the document to the selectboard for its own deliberations,” said planning commission Chair Sue Kavanagh. “It’s important now for Bristol residents to take their own close look at our work and offer feedback.”

At the heart of the planning commission’s work on the zoning regs has been the vision of Bristol put forth in the current town plan, passed in 2012.

“The 2012 town plan was a huge measure for the town to pass and to create these planning areas and to really thoughtfully describe each of the planning areas,” said Kavanagh. “It was the outline that we then worked within.”

The town plan emphasizes building on the town’s compact village structure, blending residential, retail/ commercial and municipal development in ways that support economic development. Among the priorities is generating higher-wage jobs within walking distance of the town center.

“It’s an important enough revision that we were really careful,” said Kavanagh. “We were incredibly deliberative. And we took the time to really think about uses.”

In the planning commission’s discussion of zoning boundaries, for example, Kavanagh described how the commission “literally went zone by zone and talked about what is this zone, what’s the objective of this zone, what are the uses, what are the dimensional standards.”

Kavanagh emphasized also that (See Bristol, Page 3)

City looks to loan fund to help restaurant and youth club

By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — Tapping a twodecade-old revolving loan fund, the Vergennes city council on Sept. 27 agreed to loan $95,000 to the owner of the School Street building that houses Bar Antidote and the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Vergennes to allow expansion of the restaurant’s space and creation of handicap access to the youth club.

Officially, the loan will go to Lincoln Geronimo LLC, of which Panton resident Hans Vorsteveld is the principal. City Manager Mel Hawley on Thursday said $20,000 would be set aside until the spring to fund a

handicap access project that will be tied to sidewalk improvement work, while the remaining $75,000 would go toward building renovation on behalf of Bar Antidote.

The revolving loan fund the council turned to was founded in the mid1990s when buyers that included the Addison County Community Action Group, now HOPE, used a Community Development Block Grant to purchase and renovate a Main Street property known as the Maynard Building.

A condition of that block grant, technically awarded to Vergennes, not the buyers, was that grant repay-

ment go into a revolving loan fund to support housing or job creation.

Previously, the council has twice used the loan fund to support Shear Properties, doing business as Shear Cuts. The city first lent Shear Properties $27,500 to support its purchase of 171 Main St. and the 2008 move of its salon there from Panton Road.

In November 2011 the council agreed to make a $70,788 loan to allow Shear Properties to pay off the balances of its 2008 loan from the city and two small bank loans, eliminate some credit card debt, and fund its share of the cost of a

handicap-access ramp that serves 171 Main St. and other buildings, plus the cost of the $14,000 addition of a nail salon to Shear Cuts.

Officials back then said that loan, essentially a consolidation, saved Shear Properties about $350 a month.

In other business on Sept. 27, the council also: • Agreed to tap the city’s Watershed Fund, which is dedicated to support recreation, to pay for resurfacing the city tennis courts ($11,472), replacing the city pool’s main drainage valve (work already done at a cost of $5,333.92), and

professionally inspecting the city pool. The council had agreed at its last meeting to resurface the courts and inspect the pool, but had not designated a fund source. Hawley recommended the Watershed Fund.

• Decided to spend $5,000 from the Ray Davison Fund, which supports the city’s fire department, to buy a radio repeater, which will strengthen the emergency signal broadcast. Hawley said there are some locations out of town in the area where department members have had trouble picking up the signal.

Bristol (Continued from Page 2) “by increasing the number of uses (in each zone), we have also tried to meet the call from the town plan to increase development to support the increase of a tax base — and to do it in a way that’s planned.”

Highlights of the proposed revisions, according to Kavanagh, include: • Review and in some cases redrawing of zoning districts so that each zone has clear objectives and guidelines.

• Expanded uses in each zone.

• Expanded business and residential development to strengthen Bristol’s tax base.

• A new process for site plan review.

• Establishment of a special overlay zone at the intersection of Routes 116 and 17 to guide future development.

Finally, said Kavanagh, the planning commission overhauled the entire zoning regs booklet itself so that it would be more user friendly.

The commission wanted the document to be better organized and easier to use for applicants, town administrators and municipal bodies alike.

The planning commission’s goal is to have the zoning regulations on the March 2017 Town Meeting Day ballot. To that end, it needs to have all revisions finalized by the end of December or by early January. Following Tuesday’s public hearing, the commission will take that input, revise the regs and send them on to the selectboard as quickly as possible, said Kavanagh. The selectboard is expected to hold its own hearings something in November.

Also on the Town Meeting Day ballot, explained Kavanagh, will be re-adoption of the current town plan, which is set to expire in November 2017. Voting to readopt the current plan, said Kavanagh, is the most straightforward way to prevent its expiring without rushing into changes. The planning commission intends to warn the vote on the town plan such that the only change would be a new zoning map, reflecting the changes to the zoning regulations once approved by voters.

Once the zoning regs pass, the commission would then move its full attention to revising the re-adopted town plan in time for a vote before expiration in 2022.

The revised regulations can be found on the town website at www. bristolvt.org.

Shoreham seeking funding for town shed Salt, sand, grader lacking storage

By JOHN FLOWERS SHOREHAM — The Shoreham selectboard is aggressively searching for grants to help defray the cost of a salt-sand shed that they said is urgently needed to ensure the community can effectively keep its roads clear and safe during winter weather.

Shoreham currently stores the bulk of its salt reserves in Bridport, which has generously offered space in its shed.

Shoreham facilities “It’s (salt can now only reserves store around a are) tandem truck probably load’s worth of not enough salt at this point, according to Seto deal lectman Loren with a big Wood.

“We’ve got to do something about it.”

So town officials have been pricing out a basic structure that could accommodate Shoreham’s yearly sand and salt stockpiles, as well as a municipal grader that now has had to be stored outside recently due to a

lack of garage space.

Selectwoman Karen Shackett said a basic shed — possessing a canvas roof and a concrete base — is estimated to cost upwards of $180,000.

Shoreham owns land behind its town garage, and adjacent to the town green, on which the new salt-sand shed could be sited, officials said.

Shackett said the town, through the Addison County Regional Planning Commission, has applied for a $50,000 state grant to cover a portion of the shed costs. She noted

Shoreham maintains a capital reserve fund that could be tapped for some additional money.

Wood believes the town could realize additional money for the project through its sale of an approximately 5-acre parcel near the Golden Russet Farm, at the corner of Lapham Bay and Happy Valley Roads. Local voters last year authorized the selectboard to sell the socalled “Morton park” property, and place the proceeds into the municipal Building Reserve Fund.

The Morton Farm property is essentially ready for development, with access to electricity and TriTown water, according to Wood.

Ultimately, the selectboard doesn’t want to pitch a project that would place a significant financial burden on local taxpayers, so the accumulation of grants and a land sale would be a great help.

Shackett said townspeople could be asked to approve a salt-sand shed project as soon as town meeting next March.

A D D IS ON INDE P E NDEN T

Editorial

A year to break the mold What does it mean when USA Today, for the first time in its 34-year history, breaks its pledge not to endorse a candidate in the US presidential race and writes that Trump is “unfit to be president?”

Let USA Today explain: “This year, the choice isn’t between tow capable major party nominees who happen to have significant ideological difference. This year, one of the candidates — Republican nominee Donald Trump — is, by unanimous consensus of the editorial board, unfit for the presidency... Whether through indifference or ignorance, Trump has betrayed fundamental commitments made by all presidents since the end of World War II. These commitments include unwavering support for NATO allies, steadfast opposition to Russian aggression, and the absolute certainty that the United States will make good on its debts. He has expressed troubling admiration for authoritarian leaders and scant regard for constitutional protections.”

The editorial board then detailed some of its reasons Trump should not be president, including: • His erratic stands on policy are “like shooting a moving target.” The paper noted Trump has made 124 shifts on 20 major issues in the past 15 months; plus Trump’s foreign policy stands “typically range from uninformed to incoherent.”

• He “traffics in prejudice. From the very beginning, Trump has built his campaign on appeals to bigotry and xenophobia, whipping up resentment against Mexicans, Muslins and migrants.”

• His “checkered” business career, includes “thousands of lawsuits over the past three decades, including at least 60 that involved small businesses and contract employees who said they were stiffed (by Trump companies or Trump himself.) So much for being a champion of the little guy.”

While USA Today’s editorial board did not have unanimous consensus to endorse Hillary Clinton, who, the editorial board said, “has her own flaws (though hers are far less likely to threaten national security or lead to a constitutional crisis),” some members of the board “look at her command of the issues, resilience and long record of public service — as first lady, U.S. senator and U.S. Secretary of State — and believe she’s serve the nation ably as its president.”

“Where does that leave us,” the editorial asked? “Our bottom-line advice for voters is this: Stay true to your convictions… (but) whatever you do…resist the siren song of a dangerous demagogue. By all means vote, just not for Donald Trump.” ********* USA Today has not been the only paper to reverse long-held policies.

The Arizona Republic wrote that since it began publication in 1890, “we have never endorsed a Democrat over a Republican for president. Never.

This reflects a deep philosophical appreciation for conservative ideals and Republican principles. This year is different.” The editorial then skewers Trump, while making this assessment of Clinton: “Clinton retains her composure under pressure. She’s tough. She doesn’t back down. Trump responds to criticism with the petulance of verbal spit wads.”

The Dallas Morning News, also staunchly Republican, wrote this: Trump “plays on fear — exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny — to bring out the worst in all of us, rather than the best.” ********** And if a person is judged by the company they keep, the Washington Post last Wednesday posted this list of newspaper endorsements: • A dozen have endorsed Clinton, including: The Arizona Republic, The Baltimore Sun, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Dallas Morning News, The Fresno Bee, Houston Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, New York Daily News, The New York Times, The Sacramento Bee, San Francisco Chronicle, and San Jose Mercury News.

• Four have endorsed Libertarian Gary Johnson: The Detroit News, New Hampshire Union-Leader; Richmond (Va) Times-Dispatch, WinstonSalem Journal.

• One paper had endorsed Donald Trump: The National Enquirer.

Fitting.

Letters to the Editor Addison-3 candidate seen as fiscally responsible Dear friends and neighbors in Addison 3: It’s time for an alternative to Diane Lanpher. As a 4-term incumbent and part of the Shumlin/ Democrat machine for the last six years, Diane has consistently voted for increased taxes and unnecessary regulations, all of which are stifling our economy, making Vermont unaffordable for many and driving people out of Vermont (if they could sell their houses). For those of us who have had enough of Diane’s voting record, there is real hope of replacing her with a different woman — Monique Thurston.

Monique is an honest, hardworking and serious candidate who wants only to serve our interests, as opposed to serving the interests of the political bosses in Montpelier.

Monique and her husband live in Ferrisburgh. She is a former medical professional who has had many years of experience in developing town budgets and serving on town selectboards, planning commissions and school boards. She is not just another politician running for office.

She is our neighbor and a thoughtful individual who cares about all of us.

For weeks now, Monique has been tirelessly travelling all over the towns of the Addison-3 district, knocking on doors and listening to our concerns. She understands the affordability crisis that has been created by the current one-party state administration and legislature and that is preventing us from being able to fully enjoy our Vermont quality of life.

Monique wants to bring balance, financial stability, reduced taxes and affordability back to our state.

She wants us to have the right to (See Letter, Page 5)

achieve when we put aside rhetoric and negotiate in good faith.

We held countless bipartisan, bicameral meetings, briefings and discussions with all interested parties, over the span of multiple Congresses. We never gave up.

The six-year process that resulted in enactment of this important law is one of which we can all be proud. In an increasingly partisan Congress, I embraced the opportunity to lead a legislative process that was, from start to finish, both bipartisan and bicameral. It is only in that spirit that we can continue to make progress that will support innovation for the next generation and beyond.

I have continued to work across the aisle to improve the patent system. Despite important reforms in the America Invents Act, there are too many bad actors misusing the system to target others and stifle innovation. Abusive conduct in our patent system is a threat to America’s innovation economy.

It costs Vermont businesses and consumers billions of dollars each year. So I have continued to work over the last two Congresses to advance new legislation to curb abusive patent litigation.

The bipartisan Protecting American Talent and Entrepreneurship Act (PATENT Act), which I coauthored, would make necessary and commonsense reforms to curb abuses within the patent system.

The bill would take concrete steps to deter abusive conduct and promote efficiency in the patent system, while preserving the strength of our patent laws that have made

the U. S. one of the most dynamic and innovative countries in the world.

While the bill has bipartisan support, Senate Republican leaders have decided not to bring it to the Senate floor for consideration and a vote. But the problems of abusive behavior are not going away, and I remain committed to working on these issues. Our position as the leader of the world’s economy

Douglas Dickerson, 79, formerly of Ferrisburgh LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Douglas Dickerson, 79, passed away on Sept. 10, 2016 after a long battle with illness. He was born in Lewis, N.Y. on April 11, 1937, the son of Spencer and Gertrude (Clark) Dickerson. He graduated from Westport High School and enlisted in the U.S. Navy.

Bristol, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics “Bristol Electronics makes it easy for you to go solar.

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.”

Bali-inspired cello concerto to be performed Oct. 8 The Middlebury College Performing Arts Series will present the Vermont premiere of “Legends of Kintamani,” a new cello concerto by Middlebury Professor of Music Su Lian Tan, at 8 p.m. on Saturday in Robison Hall at the Mahaney Center for the Arts.

The music, inspired by travels to Southeast Asia and specifically Bali, will be accompanied by large animated murals produced by Middlebury students. The five-movement story depicts a return to a more innocent time, where mythology and reality combine in fairy tales.

The concert features the distinguished cellist Darrett Adkins and the Burlington Chamber Orchestra (BCO), with guest conductor Evan Bennett. To round out the evening, the BCO will also perform Bela Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances and César Franck’s “Quatre Pieces Brèves” under the baton of orchestra director Yutaka Kono. There will be a free pre-concert panel with the artists at 7 p.m. in room 125.

By EVAN JOHNSON BRANDON — It’s early morning in Brandon and activity is already picking up at the Neshobe River Winery. The sun rises over the hill behind the barn, bed and breakfast and ga-

rage, and the thick morning dew glistens on the grass.

Clad in a blue work shirt and boots, Robert Foley walks the rows of grapes he and his family have been growing for the past nine years.

ROBERT FOLEY LEADS a recent tour of his grapes at the Neshobe River Winery in Brandon. Foley and his family have been growing grapes for wine for nine years.

There are three varieties of grapes, Saint Croix, Marquette and Frontenac, which are used to produce wine.

The winery produces eight varieties of wine, including cassis, gluhwein and port.

The trellises of grapes produce between two and three tons of grapes in a season, which is a good amount but not enough to meet demand, so Foley buys more grapes from another nearby winery. The grapes are mashed and are added to barrels where they’ll age.

“For good wine, you have to start with good grapes,” Foley says. “The other thing is it takes time and patience. With beer you can start to see your results in just a few hours or days, but with wine you have to be willing to wait a lot longer.”

Up the hill from where the grapes hang, activity is picking up inside a garage used by Foley Brothers Brewing. A sweet, malty smell lingers in the air as steam pours from equipment pouring hot water. A team of

four, including brothers and co-brewers Dan and Patrick Foley, get ready to add sacks of malt and hops.

Out on the lawn overlooking the neighboring golf course, yard games like can jam or corn hole sit idle this early morning awaiting the crowds of the afternoon or busier weekends.

The pizza oven, built from brick and cement in 2011, looks well used and ready for more rounds of food, beer and laughter.

And as the surrounding hillsides

begin to transform into their autumnal yellows, reds and oranges, more visitors will make their way down Stone Mill Dam Road for a taste of the Greybeard witbier or Blackbeard’s porter inside the barn built in the 1800s that now serves as a tasting room during the warmer months.

“The fall season is always our busiest,” Foley says. “In just a couple of weeks, we’ll have groups and buses pulling in” and those idle games will be put to good use.

Otter Valley eleven routs the T-Birds

SPORTS

BRANDON — The Otter Valley Union High School football team had little trouble with visiting firstyear varsity program Missisquoi on Saturday, romping past the winless T-Birds, 65-0.

The Otters improved to 3-2 heading into a key Division III matchup at U-32 on Friday night. The Raiders are also 3-2, and both teams are jockeying for playoff position.

On this past Saturday, senior halfback Brent Nickerson ran for three touchdowns and 130 yards on 11 carries, while new starting quarterback Tyler Rowe, a sophomore, threw three TD passes.

Rowe found Will Ross from 4 yards out, Connor Mackie from 15 yards out, and Tyson Cram from 25 yards out. In all, Rowe was six of nine passing for 92 yards.

The OV defense forced five fumbles, two recovered by Greg Whitney, and Ross blocked an MVU punt and recovered it for a touchdown.

Dylan Mackie ran for two secondhalf scores, and C’rique Wood added a 32-yard touchdown run to cap the Otter scoring.

Eagles throttle Vikings for second straight win

VERGENNES UNION HIGH School junior Casey Kimball rumbles his way to a first down against Lyndon Saturday afternoon.

By ANDY KIRKALDY BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham-Vergennes cooperative football team did a lot of things right on Saturday, and the result was the Eagles’ second straight Division II victory, 36-16 over visiting Lyndon.

The 2-3 Eagles amassed 179 yards rushing and 156 passing; forced two fumbles, scoring after both; converted key third- and fourth-down plays; and took command with a 99-yard, 15-play second-quarter drive that made it 16-0 at 2:11 of the period.

They also scored again in the quarter to lead 24-0 at the half and added two third-quarter scores to lead by 36-0 after three. Lyndon (0-5, but only a six-point loser at 4-1 Burlington the week before) scored twice in the fourth. After three periods, the Eagles had outgained the Vikings by 342 yards to 154.

Senior quarterback Coleman Russell, who completed 10 of 17 passes for 152 yards a week after throwing for 220 yards in a win at North Country, said offensive versatility

has sparked the Eagles.

“Coach always says we’re a running team. We run to open up the pass, so when we can do that it always works out well,” Russell said.

“It’s good to have a balanced offense. If we just run the ball every time, they’re just going to load the box up.”

The Eagles ran well on Saturday.

Russell, senior backs Devin Kimball, Wyatt Gendreau and Wyatt Gracie, and junior fullback Casey Kimball combined for 36 attempts and 187 yards, led by Gracie’s eight rushes for 43 yards.

Russell credited an offensive line led by senior captains Kyle Pearsall and Josh Roscoe.

“They’ve stepped it up the past few weeks,” he said.

Coach Lee Hodsden said the improvement is team-wide.

“The boys are getting better every single week. We’re getting better on offense, staying on our blocks, cutting down on our penalties. We’ve (See Eagle football, Page 17)

Otter girls’ soccer downs Jacks

By ANDY KIRKALDY BRANDON — The Otter Valley Union High School girls’ soccer team on Friday shrugged off both its injury bug and visiting Windsor to defeat the Jacks, 4-0.

The win moved the Otters back to within a game of .500 at 4-5 heading into a Monday home contest vs.

Long Trail, while Windsor dropped to 1-7.

Coach Rick Hedding praised his defense — seniors Jillian Flanders and Molly McGee in the middle and freshmen Sophie Walker and Lauryl Blanchard on the flanks — for allowing only six mostly harmless shots at

junior goalie Gabby Poalino.

“Our fullbacks are really squared away. They hold the line high,” Hedding said. “They did a very nice job.”

At the other end the Otters, after a bit of a slow start, settled in and carved up the Windsor back line.

Hedding, with only one sub due to injuries, rotated players through the midfield and front line, and seniors Olivia Drew (two goals, assist) and Abbie Pinkowski, junior Colby Reynolds, sophomore Julia Lee (goal), and freshmen Julia Eastman (goal), Mary Kingsley and Phoebe Elliot all did good work.

“We had nice ball movement,” Hedding said. “I would have liked to see them play a little wider sometimes, but they had some really good through balls and made some opportunities.”

The best Windsor chance and the only OV defensive lapse came in the second minute, when Windsor’s Annie Soho cut in and one-timed a cross from the right side high from point-blank range.

The Otters took over from there and scored in the 14th minute.

Walker stepped up from left back and lofted a ball into the Windsor (See Otters, Page 18)

VUHS is only other winner in girls’ soccer

VERGENNES UNION HIGH School senior Dylan Bradford makes a catch and keeps both feet in bounds in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown during the Mount Abraham-Vergennes Eagles’ win over Lyndon Saturday afternoon.

ADDISON COUNTY — In local high school girls’ soccer action in the latter half of last week, Vergennes won big, but Mount Abraham and Middlebury came up short.

COMMODORES On Saturday, VUHS celebrated its homecoming by blanking Missisquoi, 5-0. Emily Rooney scored three times, Ciara McClay and Morgan Lynk each converted penalty kicks, and Megan Rooney,

Kaitlyn Brace and Shelby Gage added assists as the Commodores moved to 4-3-1.

EAGLES On Thursday, host Milton (7-1) edged Mount Abe, 2-1, on a pair of second-half goals by Tatum Shappy. After Shappy scored her first, Lauren Gibson equalized for the Eagles, but Shappy struck again.

Goalie Genysis Berube stopped a dozen shots for the 3-5 Eagles, and

Madison North made three saves for the Yellowjackets.

TIGERS On Friday, host Rice improved to 7-1 by topping the Tigers, 3-1. Isabel Rosenberg scored a last-minute goal on a cross from Helen Anderson for the Tigers, who also had an Ada Anderson goal called back, apparently in error. Goalie Riley Fenster made 15 saves for the 2-5-1 Tigers.

Eagle football (Continued from Page 16) got some good hard athletes who are giving everything they have in the practices and games,” Hodsden said. “And it really showed today.”

The Eagles scored on three of four first-half possessions, failing on only their first when they came up just short on fourth down. The Vikings moved on their second possession, but a penalty helped kill their drive on the Eagle 28.

From there the Eagles marched 72 yards in 10 plays, including a 20-yard pass to Dylan Bradford, and scored on the first play of the second quarter, a 7-yard Gracie run.

Russell tossed the two-point conversion to Devin Kimball.

After a Casey Kimball sack helped stop Lyndon, the Vikings downed a punt on the Eagle 1. On third and 10, Russell threw long to Bradford down the left sideline, and Bradford adjusted and came back for the ball for a 29-yard gain to start the 99-yard march.

In the drive, Russell hit Casey Kimball for a 19-yard screen pass on third-and-11 from the Viking 40, and ran 21 yards on fourth-and-four from the Viking 25. Casey Kimball plowed four yards up the middle for the score. Gendreau ran in the extra points at 2:11.

The Vikings fumbled on their first play after the kickoff. Gracie pounced on it, and the Eagles got the ball on the Viking 23. A pass to Aaron Fanning helped make it first and goal from the 9, but a rare Eagle penalty moved them back to the 17. On fourth down, Russell lofted the ball to the back left corner of

the end zone, and Bradford went high for the TD at 0:35. Gendreau converted again, and it was 24-0 heading into halftime.

Lyndon managed only two first downs in the third quarter, and the Eagles scored twice. Casey Kimball bulled in from the one at 5:15, a play set up by a 40-yard pass to Gracie. The Vikings again fumbled on their first play after a kickoff, and Kyle Beatty recovered at the Viking 38. Six running plays later, the final one a 2-yard burst from Russell, and it was 36-0 at 1:45 of the third.

In the fourth, talented Lyndon quarterback Marcus Reeb made some hay against a defense that included some substitutes, leading the Vikings to 100 yards and two scores. He ran for a 1-yarder at 7:55 and tossed the conversion to Cameron Murray, and as time expired tossed a 6-yard TD pass to Murray, adding a conversion toss to Olawale Junaid.

Reeb went seven-for-15 for 143 yards, but was sacked three times for 25 yards, with Eli Paquin and a combination of Cole Putnam and Fanning recording sacks. Reeb rushed seven times for 68 yards, and Junaid added 44 yards on nine carries.

Hodsden noted the Eagles, while still leaving room for improvement, made few mistakes on Saturday.

“We stressed from week one to cut out the mental mistakes and the turnovers, and things will be in our favor, or at least we’ll be in the game,” Hodsden said. “And the last two weeks we’ve gotten better.”

EAGLE ELI PAQUIN brings down Lyndon quarterback Marcus Reeb for a sack during Saturday’s game in Bristol.

Hodsden said the Eagles have potential for more wins down the road, and praised their attitudes for

rising to the challenge of playing in D-II. “The kids never gave up. We get

better every week, and I’m so proud of them,” Hodsden said. “It’s just so fun to be around them.”

Wins scarce in local field hockey ADDISON COUNTY — A road tie for Mount Abraham proved to be the only positive result for area high school field hockey teams, as Otter Valley and Middlebury each dropped a pair of games late last week.

EAGLES On Thursday, Eagle goalie Chessley Jackman worked a 10save shutout as Mount Abe earned a 0-0 tie at Division I Champlain Valley. The Eagle defense also survived 18 penalty corners attempted by the 3-1-2 Redhawks. Mount Abe

is 3-3-1.

OTTERS On Saturday, host Hartford dealt OV a 2-0 setback that dropped the defending D-II champs to 4-4. Hartford (8-1-1) avenged its only loss of the season, which came in Brandon.

On Wednesday, visiting Burr & Burton scored two late goals to upset OV, 3-2. Allison Lowell, from Courtney Bushey, scored for OV in the first half, and Livia Bernhardt gave OV a 2-1 lead early in the second. OV goalie Myliah Mcdonough

stopped three shots.

TIGERS On Thursday, defending Division I champion South Burlington moved to 6-0 by defeating the host Tigers, 4-1. Lexi Bartlett converted a penalty stroke for MUHS, and goalie Bridget Audet stopped 12 shots.

On Saturday, Mount Mansfield (32) upended MUHS, 3-2, in overtime, dropping the Tigers to 1-6. Calista Carl scored both Tiger goals, one with an assist from Lily Smith, and Audet made nine saves.

In boys’ soccer

Tiger football thumps Rebels SOUTH BURLINGTON — The Middlebury Union High School football team for the second straight week broke loose in the second half, this time in a 42-3 rout of host South Burlington on Friday.

The 0-5 Rebels were within 14-0 at the break before the 4-1 Tigers salted the game away with four second-half touchdowns. The Rebels managed only a late field goal.

Trey Kaufman scored twice for MUHS and rushed for a team-high 77 yards on 13 carries. Spencer Carpenter scored once and ran 11 times for 62 yards, and also inter-

cepted a third-quarter pass to set up a Tiger TD. Doug DeLorenzo caught a 26yard TD pass from Andrew Gleason and also forced and recovered a fumble with a second-quarter sack, and Lane Sheldrick (12-yard run) and Cody Pomainville (68-yard burst) added the final Tiger TDs. The Tigers will play at Essex (3-2) on Friday night in a key Division I matchup before returning home on Oct. 14 and Oct. 21 to host Rice and Champlain Valley, respectively, in their final regularseason games.

(Continued from Page 17) box that the defense misplayed. Lee pounced, touched the ball past a defender and buried it into the upper right corner.

Drew made it 2-0 three minutes later, beating two defenders on a 40-yard solo run before left-footing the ball into the upper right corner again. With six minutes left in the half, Drew served from the right side, and Eastman, near the penalty stripe, one-timed the ball with her left foot inside the left post.

The Windsor defense actually limited the shots in the first half despite OV’s possession, but the Otters scored on three of five attempts. In the second half, the Otters launched 15 shots, finishing with a 20-6 edge in shots at goal. Drew tacked on the final score with 12 minutes to go, dribbling from left to right across the

top of the box and hitting a low shot back inside the left post.

Poalino’s three saves were not difficult, but she came off her line alertly twice to beat Jack forwards to balls to snuff out threats. Windsor goalie Kaycee Herschel stopped 11 shots, including some nice secondhalf saves.

Hedding expects his walking wounded to begin returning this week and to provide the Otters more depth and consistency for a stretch run, and possibly the program’s second straight — and second ever — home playoff date.

At the very least he believes the Otters will finish strong.

“I actually anticipate us doing that. We’re getting healthy,” Hedding said. “The team chemistry is fantastic.”

Dugouts (Continued from Page 1) gear and seek shelter from the sometimes harsh elements during fall and spring sporting events.

But MUHS Athletic Director Sean Farrell reached out to soccer parents this past spring to gauge their interest in taking on the dugouts project.

Among those who agreed to help with the venture were Christine McKeever-Parkes and Silvia Gonzalez, both of whom have sons on the varsity soccer squad. “We just kind of dove into this,�

McKeever-Parkes said with a smile. “We wanted to make sure it got done this season,� Gonzalez added.

The parents found a capable and willing project coordinator in local contractor Earl Butler, a member of the MUHS class of 1978.

Work on the dugouts got started this August, during preseason training. After sweating it out on the field during Saturday drills, the soccer boys shifted focus from their feet to their hands, carrying timber to the worksites, where they sawed and hammered under Butler’s tutelage.

Current boys’ varsity Coach Reeves Livesay and assistant Coach David Turner have also been active players in the project. “We’d give a couple hours of work, break it into shifts,� said George McKeever-Parkes, a member of the varsity soccer team.

Santiago Fernandez, another Tiger soccer player, said the project has provided many benefits. “We have a team of 23 kids, but don’t have a lot of team bonding time,� Fernandez said. “Preseason was also hustle, all work, and then we got to come out here and get to know each other, build something with Earl and have a lot of fun.�

The dugouts, both of them 8 feet by 16 feet, were more than half completed as the team convened for practice Thursday afternoon. School officials will paint the structures at a later date. “Everything was positive,� Butler said of the collaboration among students on a project that benefitted

from great weather. “There was a little razzing, but you could tell they are a close unit.�

Unfortunately, there is no money in the school budget to help pay for the dugouts. That means the soccer boosters will need to hold fundraisers — such as a recent car wash — to come up with around $5,000 to pay for the materials. Organizers will also reach out to local service groups — such as the Lions, Rotary and Legion — to see if the dugouts might be eligible for some financial aid.

Anyone interested in contributing should make their checks out to “MUHS,� listing “dugouts� in the memo line.

Players are pleased to contribute to a project that will also benefit fu-

ture MUHS teams. And years from now, members of the 2016 Tiger soccer squad will know they left a little extra out on the field. “It was great teamwork,� George McKeever-Parkes said.

Short hair, tiger, black, tuxedo – we’ve got them! Kitten season is winding down, so get them while you can! All kittens are spayed/neutered, have seen a veterinarian and received all of their initial vaccinations, and are litterbox trained.

e h W t e f e o k t Pe

Kerie. 12 years, DSH Tortie, spayed female. Want your very own “Grumpy Cat?” Kerie isn’t grumpy by any means, she is actually a sweet gal, but her unique coloring and markings give her a perpetual grumpy look! She is laid back and loves to sit in the sun and PURR! Her lovely tortoise shell coat is so soft you will really enjoy running your hands through it. So if you are in need of a quiet companion, she’s your girl!

Daffodil. 3 years, DSH Black & White, spayed female. Daffodil is a special girl here and is looking for a special home. She came to us as a sweet stray, but we soon learned that life in a condo was too restrictive for this independent soul. Daffodil needs a home environment without other pets or children, so she can rule her roost without territorial stressors. She enjoys affection in small doses, and will let you know when she has had enough. Daffodil is a meticulous kitty whose day doesn’t start until she has had a shower in the sink!

Nova. 1 year, Husky/Shepherd mix, spayed female. Nova is a super sweet, loving, playful young dog with lots of energy! She gets along with other dogs, and has lived with young children as well as cats. She wasn’t left unsupervised with the cats in her previous home but she showed no interest in the cats at the shelter. Nova has some experience with being crated and while she does need some basic training to help with manners, she is a smart, eager to please young gal who we have no doubt will learn quickly.

Pumpkin. 10 years, Shepherd mix, spayed female. A sweet, affectionate older gal who is looking for a home where she can be the only pet. She can become very possessive and protective of her person and can be very reactive to new people. We are requiring that she be adopted into an adult only home – Ideally with an experienced dog owner in a settled household where there isn’t a lot of guests. Pumpkin is a loving, playful dog looking for the right person to give her the chance she deserves.

Georgia. 2 years, Redbone Hound, spayed female. A sweet, lovable, spunky, sassy young gal who would like a home where she can run, run, run! She gets along well with other dogs, and while it isn’t a requirement, we recommend she have a canine companion. Georgia is crate trained and has worked with professional trainers on basic manners. Potential adopters should be familiar with the breed and their strong instinctual need to have a job.

Georgia will make a delightful addition for the right family!

Middlebury man killed in Rt. 7 traffic crash Thursday MIDDLEBURY — A 75-year-old Middlebury man was killed in a twocar crash on the south end of Middlebury village Thursday evening.

Middlebury police and fire officials and Middlebury Regional EMS responded to the crash at 7:43 p.m. on Sept. 29 to the scene of the crash on Court Street Extension in front of the Centre Plaza, where the Hannaford supermarket and TJ Maxx are located.

Police report that they found David H. Davignon, the driver and lone occupant of one of the vehicles, was unresponsive and by-

standers began CPR. MREMS took Davignon to Porter Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

There were two occupants of the other vehicle. Both were transported to Porter Hospital for treatment of injuries that apparently were not life-threatening.

The cause of this collision is under investigation, though alcohol does not appear to be a factor. Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to the Middlebury Police Department at 388-3191; officer Kevin Emilio is investigating.

Clark (Continued from Page 1) “I liked the mechanics of it …

But when I got into it, I realized to do it I was going to have to give up everything else,” said Clark, 53. “I decided, no, make a living at one of these other things I like doing.”

He settled first on furniture design, and set up a shop in his parents’ home to learn the nuts and bolts of furniture making. He was hooked.

“I was interested in furniture design, but decided I better learn how to make it first, so I went home and I was going to do that,” Clark said.

“But I really liked making it, and designing it.”

RETURN TO VERMONT That began his odyssey back to Vermont and more than a dozen woodworking shops before he and his wife, Mimi Clark, bought land on Green Street and Waltham and built a home and his one-man shop in 1998.

And that journey has led to his specialty, Windsor chairs of his own design and elongated Windsor benches — up to 29 feet — being displayed in high-end New York and Washington, D.C., restaurants and hotels. Sales have been steady, he said.

“The orders just keep coming in.

I feel very lucky,” Clark said. “The specialization in chairs and benches has been the key to that, I think.”

Clark’s 1986 move to Vermont

was practical.

“It was a great place to market your work,” he said. “It was a really nice place to come to, but also from a business standpoint it made a lot of sense to go to Vermont. And there were a lot of furniture makers to find a job with.”

He worked 20 hours a week for a Shelburne woodworker, who also let him use the shop on Clark’s free time, and for five years also worked in bike shops and led bike tours.

“I worked 40, 60 hours a week and learned very quickly just by doing,” he said.

Eventually, he taught woodworking at both the Shelburne Museum’s craft school, where he met Mimi, and Burlington’s Wood School, while also moving his tools from shop to shop, with garages and outbuildings in Bristol and Lincoln among the locations.

“This is shop No. 14, I believe,” Clark said. “I rented basements. I converted a chicken coop for one person. I would offer homeowners to use my tools if I could use their garage for very low rent.”

After three years at the Wood School in the mid-1990s and growing sales, Timothy and Mimi (now Middlebury College’s Chinese School coordinator) were able to buy their property in Waltham.

“Once I built my own shop and had my own thing, it was great. A lot

of freedom comes with that,” Clark said, adding that now he can also be home when his son, 15, and daughter, 9, return from their school days.

CARVING A NICHE Clark said the heart of his business are his versions of classic Windsor chairs, which he had always appreciated for their structural integrity and appearance.

“I don’t want to sell someone else’s chair. I want to sell my chair,” he said. “So I figured out how to make a Windsor that I liked, even though the Windsor chair is an old design.”

Among his variations are a more generous seat and a rail that goes behind the chair’s vertical spindles.

In a classic Windsor design, the spindles go through the rail, Clark said, but he believes his design offers more flexibility, and thus more comfort.

“I call it my floating back. The back is flexible, but the rail from the arm on the chair goes around the spindles,” he said. “That’s my trademark design I haven’t seen anywhere else.”

Clark, who also makes chests and beds but prefers the sculptural aspects of chair making, believes his modifications have given him an edge in the marketplace.

“There’s not a lot of competition in modern Windsors,” he said. “I’ve found that niche.”

His Windsor chairs sell for up to $3,000, and he said his work is often on display at Middlebury’s Edgewater Gallery. His benches sell for a sum Clark described as many times that; his website, timothyclark.com, says a 16-foot walnut and ash bench was priced at $8,800. Clark made his first bench after interior designer Tony Chi saw his work online and approached him in 2006. That led to a 29-foot-4-inch bench in the Park Hyatt Hotel in D.C. Others have gone into Spago Restaurant in Vail, Colo., and Rouge Tomate Chelsea restaurant in New York City.

Each has to be made in sections to allow it to be moved. Clark said joining the sections seamlessly is one challenge, and he designed hardware especially for the challenge; Orwell

WALTHAM FURNITURE MAKER Timothy Clark custom builds unusually long Windsor benches, such as this one.

Courtesy photo

machinist Robert Grant built the hardware.

“There is a line, and in a certain light you might see it. But if you look at it you don’t see the joints,” he said.

Such large pieces demand a painstaking process.

“Every step has to be done in order, or it doesn’t work. So when the seat is roughed out, it can be clamped together and then worked,” Clark said. “Before the legs go on, the bottom gets smoothed and made perfect, so you clamp the two pieces together and you work across that surface. You never work on one piece and then you work on another piece and then you hope they’re all going to go together.”

But the process is rewarding in more ways than one. Certainly, the benches have brought more attention and financial security to Clark’s business.

“When commercial orders come in like that, it’s generally good,” he said. “Because of them, I’m also selling a lot of the smaller benches, which are becoming a huge part of my business.”

And even when he gets so busy he can’t get his boat onto Lake Champlain, working on his specialty is satisfying.

“I would do this even if I wasn’t getting paid for it. I’m somewhat envious of hobby woodworkers because they get to work on whatever they want all the time,” he said. “But when I’m working on benches, I feel like a hobby woodworker.”

Fall peepers join the chorus

By MICHAEL J. CADUTO We like to think that everything in nature has its own particular time and place. But nature is fond of throwing us curves. As a naturalist, a common question I’m asked during foliage season is, “Why are spring peepers calling in my woods at this time of year?”

Even ardent students of nature can be stumped by the plaintive, autumnal notes of peepers; sounds that we easily recognize in the spring can seem alien when they appear out of context. Jim Andrews, Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Rubenstein School at the University of Vermont, and Vermont’s go-to expert on all things herpetological, described how autumn peepers have fooled birders. “They were trying to locate the birds that made these noises in the fall, of course, with no success.”

After taking a quiet summer respite, some peepers again find their voice. Their solitary songs resonate from the deep woods, intermingled with the chirps of crickets. Fall peepers can be heard from

The

about late July until well after the leaves have fallen.

“They were calling on Dec. 24, 2015, at my home in Salisbury,” said Andrews, “and were reported calling on the same date from six other towns in Vermont. They appeared to be calling from under the leaf litter.”

This isn’t the only time he has heard peepers, and other frogs, out of season. “On Nov. 25, 2004, I heard a chorus of peepers. This did not fit the pattern of fall calling at all, since it was an entire chorus and the frogs were all located near a potential breeding site.” He has also heard, on a few occasions, northern leopard frogs calling softly from along the edges of their overwintering spots in the fall, and wood frogs calling from the leaf litter in November.

There are several schools of thought as to why peepers and other frogs sing in the fall. One hypothesis: the shorter day length and steeper angle of the sun create conditions of natural light that are similar to those that occur during

Outside Story

the vernal mating season. When a stretch of autumn weather arrives that is warm and wet enough for frogs to become active, some of them respond with song to these springlike environmental cues.

Another theory is that the singing is prompted by physiological changes that occur in autumn.

“I think it is primarily this, or possibly both combined,” said Andrews. “[Peepers] need to be physiologically prepared for calling and breeding in the spring as soon as they thaw out. If you consider that their body temps may be below freezing when they are in the leaf litter during the winter, they are essentially in cold storage. They have to be ready to breed when they enter the leaf litter. As far as their bodies are concerned, they are only minutes away from breeding when they shut down in the fall.”

In this heightened state, some frogs begin to sing. Research into the reproduction of the spring peeper, which was published in Herpetologica, reveals that although ovulation won’t occur until spring arrives, the stage is indeed set in autumn for the next mating season. Male sex organs develop from late June through early September. By the time peepers are ready to hibernate, their sperm has matured. Autumn females have already formed eggs for the next breeding season; these are near-

ly two thirds the size they will ultimately become in the springtime.

Despite the singing, peepers and other fall singers don’t actually mate in autumn. Their calls are just a tease. The real mating dance must wait until spring is really here and warm weather returns in earnest to nurture the next generation of eggs and tadpoles.

DUNCAN MCDOUGALL, EXECUTIVE director of the Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF), reads to children at the Salisbury Community School on Monday, Sept. 26.

CLiF honors Salisbury’s energetic library SALISBURY — On Monday Sept. 26, children at Salisbury Community School and New Leaf Montessori School were treated to storytelling events with Duncan McDougall, executive director of the Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF). These kickoff events celebrate the Rural Libraries Grant awarded to the Salisbury Free Public Library, a small yet energetic library in the heart of Salisbury village.

Students in grades K-6 filled the gym at Salisbury Community School. Brand new children’s books covered five long tables; $2,000 worth of books to be added to the collection at the Salisbury Free Public Library and an additional $500 worth of books for the school library. Afterward, at the Montessori school, a circle of preschoolers listened to stories, sang songs and then chose new books to keep.

CLiF’s Rural Libraries Grant, open to New Hampshire and Vermont towns of 5,000 residents or less, enables rural public libraries to create excitement around reading, increase circulation and strengthen relationships within the communities they serve. A good relationship between Salisbury Community School and the Salisbury Free Public Library is growing even stronger as they support one another to develop a culture of literacy.

Marilyn McDowell, librarian, encouraged students to sign up for library cards and invited them to decorate the cards to their hearts content. The school is supporting this effort by laminating the kid-decorated cards. Both the library and school express deep gratitude to CLiF and the Brooke Foundation Fund who sponsored this generous grant.

In the Spring of 2017, students will be regaled with a second storytelling presentation by a children’s book author and/or illustrator selected from a roster of CLiF presenters.

At this event, students will select a brand new book for their home li-

brary. The Salisbury Free Public Library will launch the Summer Reading Program.

CLiF is an independent nonprofit organization founded in 1998. Its mission is to nurture a love of reading and writing among low-income, at-risk and rural children in New Hampshire and Vermont. Over 17 years CLiF has inspired 180,000 young readers and writers through literacy program grants and has given away more than $4 million in new, high-quality children’s books.

Folklife Center offers oral history tips MIDDLEBURY — Do you have an interview project in mind but don’t quite know where to begin or how to proceed? The Vermont Folklife Center is hosting a day-long workshop, “Oral History and the Art of the Interview,” on Friday, Oct. 7, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at its headquarters in Middlebury that can help you move your project forward.

“Oral History and the Art of the Interview” combines discussion of the theories and methods that inform oral history research with practical, hands-on training in oral history interview techniques. The class begins with a demonstration interview followed by group discussion of the interview process. Attendees will then work as teams to conduct interviews using provided digital audio recording equipment. The day concludes with reflection on interviewing and a discussion of project ideas.

From the perspective of ethnographic research, an interview of-

fers the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of another person.

The premise of our interview methodology is that everyone is the foremost authority on their own life, and an interview offers the opportunity to capture a person’s experience in their own words and on their own terms.

Led by Vermont Folklife Center Co-director Gregory Sharrow, this workshop will help participants develop a plan for an oral history research project and will offer a forum for brainstorming ideas for public outreach based on interview findings. Workshop attendees will also have ongoing access to Vermont Folklife Center staff for consultation as they later undertake their own oral history, ethnographic and qualitative research projects.

Oral History and the Art of the Interview is a part of the Vermont Folklife Center’s Cultural Sustain-

ability Institute workshop series (http://www.vermontfolklifecenter. org/education/cultural-sustainability/). Cultural Sustainability provides a framework for examining human experience in the present with an awareness of the past and a view toward the future.

The tuition for this workshop is $95. Attendance is limited to 14 participants and the registration deadline is Oct. 5. Register by calling 388-4964.

This workshop will be held at the Vermont Folklife Center building at 88 Main Street in downtown Middlebury.

The Vermont Folklife Center’s mission is to broaden, strengthen, and deepen our understanding of Vermont and the surrounding region; to assure a repository for our collective cultural memory; and to strengthen communities by building connections among the diverse peoples of Vermont.
